Sony Xperia Z1

[Sushubh]

So, this one is now looking as the potential rival to Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and Nokia Lumia 1020 (EOS).

This is a conceptual render and not a leaked image.

With a 5 inch 1080 x 1920 resolution screen, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 under the hood, it all sounds like your every day mid-2013 top-shelf model. That is, until you get to the camera on back. The rear-facing camera on the Sony i1 is a 20/13MP camera with an Exmor RS sensor, G Lens, Cybershot, dual LED and Xenon flash, Mobile BIONZ Image processing and interchangeable lens.

A system dump, purportedly from a Honami phone, surfaced last week and now XDA developer "krabappel2548" has managed to dissect the camera app and get it working on some existing Xperia devices -- including the Xperia Z, ZL and Tablet Z, so long as they've been suitably prepped for hacking.

The photos largely match up with previous rumors, which have Sony fitting a larger (possibly 20-megapixel) camera into the corner while otherwise preserving a very Xperia Z-like design. There are a couple of surprises -- the xenon flash of an earlier leak isn't visible, and a large speaker has surfaced at the bottom.

Honami with Xperia Z. Smaller one is the Z of course.

I was considering upgrading my 2 1/2 year old SGS2( though I still find it to be the best phone Samsung ever produced). I was looking for Xperia Z1 launch.
I just wish the photo samples posted in engadget was taken with wrong setting . They look awful.
If that was taken with auto mode, no point in boasting about the 20MP. I have to wait for better smart phones.
