The Sony Honami may have reigned in rumors for quite some time now, but a recently leaked system dump for the Japanese manufacturer’s upcoming flagship has driven in some of the most interesting grabs so far. For starters, we now have one more report giving credence to the estimation that Sony has crafted the device with a Snapdragon 800 chipset and there probably will be a 20MP camera residing on the phone’s flip side.
Delving further into the matter, the primary shutter is said to employ a new Super Resolution algorithm set, while simultaneously showing off the ability to capture videos at 4K (4000 x 2000). According to the grapevine, it will feature an aspect ratio of 2:1 and put forth an ISO range of up to 12800.
Assuming that the Sony Honami will come packed with attributes like Steadyshot mode and Timeshift burst as multiple reports suggest, we believe it should be an ideal option for avid mobile photographers. We cannot confirm how far the news is true, but the company is said to have come up with a new shutter API which will allow users to include additional functions to ‘Xperia camera add-on’ that is a snapper app.
Along with all these, the Xperia Blog points in the direction of tools like Bokeh, Info-eye, Manual and Socialcast as well as a new augmented reality app forming a part of the whole list. Moreover, the phone will come with a new launcher, an app tray and Walkman, while future users will also be able to plunk more utilities on the screen simultaneously, thanks to Smart Apps.
The source of the information regarding the Honami happens to be a Canada-based carrier device parading C6906 as the model number. So says the aforementioned post which claims to have come across the news and images through XDA Developers. But it also counsels its readers against relating the gadget directly with the smartphone in question just yet.
