Any and all wireless devices that are to be sold in the United States are required to submitted to the FCC for inspection. While just because a device has passed through the FCC does not mean that it will eventually be sold here, more often then not, it is the case. This is especially true when the company bust submit the final build of the device in question. Now, it seems the semi mysterious and next Android flagship smartphone from Sony has made its way through the FCC. With an expected official announcement of the Xperia Honami in the next week or two, it reasons that Sony will want to bring the device to the US as well. Now whether that happens between logistics and lack of carrier support in the US is an entirely different question.

What’s likely guaranteed is that the device will come to the US. What remains up in the air is how long before the rest of the world which can be months. And when it does arrive, will any carrier support it or will would be owners have to pay full price for an unlocked version? As a recap, it’s believed that the Xperia Honami will offer a 20.7-megapixel ExmorRS sensor and  ship with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 800 and 2GB RAM. Now thanks to the FCC, we also know that it will be able to connect to GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks. Other reveals specs include 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a Wi-Fi Hotspot Function.
