Sony Xperia Honami Specs Leaked, Include 20MP Camera, Massive Battery

Begun, the smartphone camera megapixel wars have. Your traditional compact cameras experienced, then DSLR caught the fever, and now smartphones are jumping on the megapixel count bandwagon. Much like the Cold War, if recent leaked specs are to be believed from the soon-to-be-announced Sony Xperia Honami (code name), the next generation flagship Android smartphone from Sony will include a 20.7-megapixel ExmorRS sensor. If that wasn’t enough to put your old digital camera to shame, it’s also believed that the Xperia Honami will also include a Sony G-Lens, which can be found in their higher end Cybershot cameras. While not nearly as impressive, the front facing camera is expected to offer 2-megapixels which should be more than sufficient for video chatting, though expect your selfies to still be grainy. Let’s talk other specs after the jump.

In addition to a beefy camera, the Xperia Honami will ship with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 800 and 2GB RAM. Onboard storage is pegged at 16GB with an expandable microSD slot which will most certainly be needed if you’re planning on shooting a lot of stills. A 5-inch 1080p display with Triluminos technology will display your beautiful and/or blurry pictures while a massive 3,000mAh battery will help power it throughout the day.

It’s expected that Sony will officially announce the Xperia Honami at IFA in Berlin next month.
