Oh well, it's you 'believers' who will be disappointed. A smaller handset with specs similar to the Z1 is just not happening, trust me on this.
Oops
First about sony not releasing camera lenses for smartphone and now SONY will never release Honami mini
I'd hardly call 4.3" small but anyway
If it gets released it'll be for the Japanese market only, much like the SX. I'm pretty sure there is no global (or at least European) release planned.

If there is it's not going to be a 2013 release or even announcement.

mini is cool - but i love my 5" screen. not sure i can go back hahaha..
though it's great for those who like a smaller form factor. awesome that they can pack just about all the same specs into that small package.

I agree! Global release in January and December release in Japan.
On top of that it will have an excellent IPS display.

Sony Mobile aims to ship 65 million smartphones in fiscal 2014
Each of the three ODMs are likely to snap up orders for
2-4 models from Sony Mobile in the next fiscal year, revealed the sources, adding that combined orders received by Taiwan-based handset ODMs from the Japan-based vendor are likely to grow over 50% in fiscal 2014.
In addition to releasing Qualcomm-based smartphones, Sony Mobile also plans to increase its offerings
to include MediaTek-based models, the sources noted.
Additionally,
Sony Mobile also plans to launch its first Firefox-based smartphone in 2014 targeting emerging markets as well as the entry-level to mid-range smartphone segment.

65 million - 16.25 million phones per quater.

@ Dacha what do you mean by excellent IPS display? as far as I know Z1 also has an excellent IPS display? I'm praying for Crystal-LED wait CLED is not IPS as it doesn't have filter.
btw anything about the price of Z1 mini? I'm planning to get a phone in Seotember 2014 and my budget doesn't exceed 400USD.

I have heard the same about two weeks ago and now my source is telling me that he had a hands on with the Z1 mini and his source told him that it will use a IPS-IGZO type screen as the iPhone 5S.
We will see how thing go. My fear is that Japan will get the IGZO tyoe display and the rest of the world the lottery.
