Could the above picture be part of a teaser for Sony‘s new flagship announcement at IFA 2013 on September 4th? Xperia Blog seems to think so, which wouldn’t surprise us as Samsung is also holding an Unpacked event that same day to announce their Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear smart watch. When in Rome, right?
The outline sprawled across the centre of the picture looks a lot like a yet to be announced Sony smartphone, which is a lock to be the new Sony Honami. Featuring the Snapdragon 800 processor and a 20MP camera with Sony’s G-Lens tech, the Honami looks to capitalize on the success that was the Xperia Z, however as Xperia Blog point out, the silhouette seen in the leaked picture actually looks a little different to the leaked photos we’ve been fed of the Honami, though, that could be the effect Sony is hoping for.
Whether this leaked picture is real or not, it would be extremely unusual for Sony not to announce the successor to its Xperia Z, particularly after experiencing huge growth in their mobile operations this year. I guess we’ll just have to wait till IFA 2013 before we really know. This is going to be a long month…
