Leaks says LG V510 is a Nexus Tablet – Nexus 8 or Nexus 10 2nd Generation update ?

A few days ago we saw leaked LG V510 manual which showed that is measures 216.8 x 126.5 x 8.3 mm with 8.3-inch display, 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution which certainly makes it a 8 inch device, well probably a tablet. Just now the legendary EvLeaks posted on their Twitter page confirming that “LG V510 is indeed a Nexus Tablet”.

Well it sparked new rumors about new Nexus 8 tablet and a 2nd generation Nexus 10 tablet. Let’s see what EvLeaks has got on LG V510.

The LG V510 tablet is indeed a Nexus device. [via tip] pic.twitter.com/hhKZ2B9NtQ

— @evleaks (@evleaks) December 8, 2013

Database entry shows “USG/GOOGLE_OPEN_16G (UNITED STATES)” under code “Buyer”.

At present nothing can be said about the existence of LG V510 but if the leaked service manual of LG V510 is to believed it’s a 8 inch device so we may see Nexus 8 tablet soon and under the markings of LG this time, not ASUS or SAMSUNG.

No specific info yet, as soon it comes we will keep you posted. Excited about Nexus 8, yes we too.

Xperia Z1S rumored to be priced at 3600 Yuan i.e. 590$ – Seen Beside White and Purple Xperia Z1 Again

More and more Xperia Z1S images are allegedly leaking daily and from the same source all the time i.e. Digi-Wo, this time the same Digi-Wo user who previously leaked picture of Xperia Z1S on top of Xperia Z1 and speculated that it may not be called as Xperia Z1S has again leaked 3 set of Xperia Z1S pics two of them are along with Xperia Z1 sharing the same surrounding as it was in previously leaked pics.

In the first set of pic you can clearly see the Xperia Z1S calling app’s dialing pad interface, which is expected to run android 4.3 jelly bean as seen in previous leaked pic where model Sony D5503 ( rumored to be Xperia Z1S ) featured android 4.3 14.2.A.0.205 firmware.

In other two pics Xperia Z1S is seen with Xperia Z1 ( purple and white in color ). In one pic you can see Xperia Z1 standing beside Xperia Z1S where you can compare the size of both phones. An interesting annotation on pic reads that Xperia Z1S may be priced at 3600 Yuan which is approx. equal to 590$ and may be available in first quarter of year 2014.

In the third pic, Xperia Z1S is seen with white Xperia Z1 and annotation on pic reads that it will also feature the same Sony’s G Lens as Xperia Z1 supports.

Yesterday Sony D5503 was spotted at Indonesian Postel website, confirming the model number and its existence. A lot many rumors have piled up now over the features of Xperia Z1S from Digi-Wo tipsters where one states that Xperia Z1S may feature IPS Display and one stated that it may not be called as Xperia Z1S.

God knows how many we will see more now, well let’s hope soon Xperia Z1S ( hopefully this is the name ) marks its global international release and Sony get’s its first mini phone globally ( as Xperia Z1F is limited to Japan only ). What do you think guys over the rumored price range of Xperia Z1S.

Xperia Amami / Sony D5503 to be called as Xperia Z1S, doubt prevails ?

Just after a day when we saw Xperia Z1S photo snapped beside with Xperia Z1 from a Digi-Wo user, a new speculation has come up whether Sony D5503 will be called as Xperia Z1S or not. The moment when Xperia Z1F saw it’s release in Japan, rumors started about the existence of Xperia Z1S, international version of Xperia Z1F.

A new user on Digi-Wo has posted a fresh pic of Xperia Z1S snapped on top of Xperia Z1, comparing their size but the annotations reads “It is called Xperia Amami right, DoCoMo version Xperia Z1F as SO-02F right, but not Z1S for now“.

Rumor says Chinese version of Xperia Z1S will come as Sony M55H. Check the pic below yourself of Xperia Z1S on top of Xperia Z1. How we can say the below handset is not Xperia Z1F, well look at this another pic of Xperia Z1S with Xperia Z1, it shares some surroundings of spoon, fork and table cloth as it is.

If it is considered to be true that Sony D5503 is not named as Xperia Z1S then what it is ? What about the recent spotting of Xperia Z1S being listed on Sony Mobile official website for a moment…

Are all these a user’s speculation ? A lot ago we saw EvLeaks leaking a pic of Xperia Z1 mini version, naming it as Xperia Z1S. Well nothing more than that has come up for the existence of Xperia Z1S yet.

We have seen that Sony D5503 do exist but is it also Xperia Z1S or not, we will keep you updated on that. Let us know what do you think…

Thanks Ben 🙂

Xperia Z1S Amami display compared to Xperia Z1’s – To use IPS Display ?

The latest rumored sensation from Sony Mobile, Xperia Z1S aka Xperia Amami or Sony D5503 is seen again, this time along with elder sibling Xperia Z1. Xperia Z1S Amami photographed besides Xperia Z1 showing the display comparison of both phones. With a first look you can say that display on Xperia Z1S looks a little less bright than Xperia Z1 but what if the brightness level is low on Xperia Z1S than Xperia Z1, we don’t know that yet.

User at Digi-Wo who posted this pic says that Xperia Z1S may use IPS Display ? What Sony using IPS display for their next flagship device and ditching TFT panels, that’s kind of Wow..!!! Well it certainly is a rumor or you can say the concerned tipster’s speculation regarding IPS display don’t take it seriously for now. As Xperia Z1F uses same display as Xperia Z1’s so IPS is least expected so far on Xperia Z1S also.

Check below the pic of Xperia Z1S Amami photographed beside Xperia Z1. The Most Clear pic of Xperia Z1S yet.

*Click on Pic to ZOOM

A day ago we saw Xperia Z1S real images leaked running Android 4.3 14.2.A.0.205 firmware, confirming Sony D5503 Model Number and on old UI just like android 4.2.2 in Xperia Z1. This new leak has created more sensation this time regarding display screen build.

Would you like Sony to use IPS display this time as they been using TFT panels from a long time, many Xperia Z1 users are complaining about poor display calibration on it as Yellow hue issue, so it would be better if Sony comes out this time with a great display screen.

Let us know what do you think…

Thanks Ben 🙂

Xperia Z1S spotted on Sony Mobile Global Site and Taken Down by Sony Soon

Since Xperia Z1 launched officially and Xperia Z1F ( aka mini version of Xperia Z1 in Japan ), there has been rumors buzzing about launch of global version of Xperia Z1 Mini as Xperia Z1S. But till now we saw only rumors. Even recently an alleged image of Xperia Z1S surfaced from the Evleaks firing the rumors again. This time something official has been put on the existence of Xperia Z1S from Sony Mobile.

Xperia Z1S spotted on Sony Mobile Global Site, a moment ago and hyperlinked to Xperia Z1 page but the weird thing is that Sony Mobile took down the listing of Xperia Z1S within an hour of putting it live.

Note :- For all haters who think that the above image may be edited, they can also check the below image which is the full screenshot of the page taken by us. *Click on the image to Zoom

What does it signify ? Is Xperia Z1S coming soon ? Is Xperia Z1S Global launch is near ?

Well we heard an interesting rumor sometime back that Sony is about to launch Xperia Z1S and another device codenamed as Xperia Taichi to be unveiled on November 12 at Shanghai Press Event. Well there is no official source for this rumor but it may be the case that after seeing the listing of Xperia Z1S on Sony Mobile site and taking it down then, has given hope that the above rumor may come true soon…

Rumored specs of Xperia Taichi

According to a widespread rumor Xperia Taichi is a mid ranged 6″ Phablet featuring MediaTek SoC true octa-core processor and 720p HD display with 1280×720 screen resolution.

Xperia Z1S may come up with below specs :-

Android – 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
Dimensions – 127mm x 64.9mm x 9.4mm ( exactly like Xperia Z1F ).
Display – Triluminos, X-Reality for Mobile.
Screen Size – 4.3″ HD 1280×720 resolution.
Battery – 2300 mAh.
Processor – Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.2 GHz

Connectivity – BlueTooth 4.0, LTE enabled.
Camera resolution – 20.7 MP rear cam and 2.2 MP front cam.

Above listing of Xperia Z1S has certainly sparked its existence rumors now, hopefully we will see it soon. What do you think guys on this…

Thanks Ben for detailed screenshot 🙂

[ RUMOR ] Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi to be unveiled on November 12 Shanghai Press Event

After a month of global launch of Sony Xperia Z1 and it’s mini version as Xperia Z1 F recenty in Japan, it seems Sony Mobile is all set to release more devices this year before CES 2014 event. Just now an interesting rumor about Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi has been popped up on a Chinese website “Digi-Wo” which has allegedly leaked many info of may Xperia models before their official launch.

As per the tipster on the above mentioned Chinese website, Sony Mobiles is all set to hold a press event in Shanghai on November 11, 2013 where we may see the launch of Xperia Z1S ( assumed as international version of Xperia Z1 F ) and another Xperia device code named as Xperia Taichi.

Xperia Z1S was recently spotted in the alleged leaked press image render from Evleaks and it will feature the same specs as Xperia Z1F. On the other hand this mysterious device Xperia Taichi is a sensation.

Rumored specs of Xperia Taichi

According to a widespread rumor Xperia Taichi is a mid ranged 6″ Phablet featuring MediaTek SoC true octa-core processor and 720p HD display with 1280×720 screen resolution.

We want to clearly stat that authenticity of above information is still not proved, so take this info on Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi as rumor.

It would be great if we see international launch of Xperia Z1F, but this Xperia Taichi will be like incing on cake if it comes…

Xperia Z1S For T-Mobile USA Picture Leaked Again

A few days back we saw Evleaks leaking an alleged image of Xperia Z1 for T-Mobile USA showing the back panel of Xperia Z1. The Design of phone was a but much different from the design of global Xperia Z1 C6902 and C6903. Just now Evleaks has leaked another image of Xperia Z1 named as Xperia Z1S For T-Mobile USA. Well to be honest no details has been given whether it is Xperia Z1 For T-Mobile USA or an international release of Xperia Z1 F aka Xperia Z1 Mini which was recently launched in Japan only.

Twitter handle of Evleaks has quoted the model as “Xperia Z1S” and is a 2013 Sony Mobile model. Model Xperia Z1S depicts some design changes in itself. 3.5mm headphone jack is centered. Front facing camera in Xperia Z1S is at the left side of Sony logo but if we see in Xperia Z1 global model, it is on right side of Sony Logo.

4G network can be see on the top notification bar. Below pic is courtesy of Evleaks.

Previous leak was mentioned as Xperia Z1 for T-Mobile but this leak is quoted as Xperia Z1S, so is it about Xperia Z1 for T-Mobile USA or some other model of Xperia Z1. If we see the previous image, it’s frame suits perfectly to this leaked image of Xperia Z1S.

In past also Sony has given a different name to Xperia model’s release in USA, like Xperia T was named as Xperia TL on AT&T but Xperia Z1 release on T-Mobile was named as Xperia Z1 only.

So till now we are expecting Xperia Z1S, as Xperia Z1 for T-Mobile USA but it can also be the international release of Xperia Z1 F, very less chances though. As soon as any official info on Xperia Z1 release in USA comes on T-Mobile we will let you know..

Let us know what do you think…

Xperia Honami images leaked exposing speaker and side profile before Launch

It’s Xperia Honami all over right now, earlier today Sony posted a teaser image of Xperia Honami showing “G” lens branding near camera and just now some more alleged images of Xperia Honami has leaked exposing a better profile of device.

Xperia Honami images leaked exposing speaker and side profile before Launch

All leaked images of White Xperia Honami agian, show a clear side profile of Xperia Honami, an open 3.5 mm water proof headphone jack, longer speaker grill at bottom which is very cool as small speaker grill on side at Xperia Z isn’t sufficient for louder output.

It seems Xperia Honami sports very thick bezels even thicker than Xperia Z ( not expected this time ).

Look at speaker grill, don’t you think it will be covered up when phone is held in portrait mode in hands.

Front 5″ display is flaunted ( Expected Triluminos display ). Again we saw branding of 20.7 MP camera with 1/2.3″ sensor with G-Lens” which was missing earlier today teased image of Xperia Honami.

IFA event is not very far now soon we can expect Xperia Honami’s launch, the biggest mystery surrounding till now is the commercial name of Xperia Honami, speculated as Xperia Z1.

What do you think of these leaked Xperia Honami images..

Xperia ZU Togari HomeScreen Screenshots Leaked

The screen size looks gigantically large 😛 It seems impossible to operate Xperia Togari from one hand. Person who posted on XDA claims that Xperia ZU is still not the final name of the phone. The black theme new Xperia wallpaper put on the Xperia ZU Togari homescreen looks a bit different from what came in the recent Xperia 2013 lineup.

Certainly It will feature Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and many new Xperia tweaks. A new Xperia Home launcher can be seen, notice the “menu” button, in the android 4.1.2 jelly bean, Xperia provided it as square consisting of 12 small white squares and in this new android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean home launcher it appeared as 9 small dots comprising a square. Icon of “Playstation” mobile seems a bit different also.

Soon we will see the official listing of this beast Xperia ZU Togari hopefully.
