Sony LT29i Hayabusa prototype hands-on pictures and video

The phone looks beautiful, but those head to head comparisons on the viewing angles was not good for Sony. :-/

shut up and take my money. My next phone. or padphone

Still one question remains : What will be the GX score at the benchmark Quadrant ?

One X, One S and GS3, which are the flaships of those brand, scored around 5000.

If the GX gets 4800 or more, this will be sure my new device !

It’s gonna look fantastic in white…

Is that One X?  How come it has gold trim?  Anyone know what edition of One X that is?

I think it can, but doesn’t do so out of the box. Just like with the three NXT phones.

Why the processor is, like the one of the Mint, still underclocked for the benchmarks ? It’s really annoying ! We can’t make decent comparison with the other flagships to make a purchasing choice ?

I really don’t get why there is all this fuss about view angles.  

Some people actually prefer narrow viewing angles because it makes for better privacy.  In this respect viewing angles are neither an advantage or a disadvantage.  

Great looking device though – Eprice always manage to capture the beauty and desirability of any handset it previews – unlike mobile-review, who can’t even be bothered to wipe dust particles and smudges off the phone’s screen before they review it.  

Lazy and unprofessional to say the least.

Hm. I don’t really know which one I prefer. Probably the Hayabusa, but it might get to be the Mint if the back is curvy enough. I’ll have to try them both at IFA before I make a decision

 size? look at the comparison photos to HTC One X

True beauty and htc looks like testicle gone flatter

The Japanese GX is spec’ed at 1700mAh.  This is odd.

OMG! Mint and Habayusa the difference is only the design. No need to release both handset, and just release only one because if they release both with the same specs no market will buy this product. SONY i will remain a fan but  when you will show your real potential and power? Mint should have quad core and habayusa should have s4 so that both handset can compete with todays leaders in mobile (S3, OneX, OneS etc)

Absolutely no need for quad-core. That’s just a gimmick.

But I do agree with not understanding why these two handsets are so alike.

What comes after Arm A15???

Thats true. I know its just a prototype but when saw that BA750 in there I wanted to slap my face.
Hope thats not the retail battery

Great design. I’m sort of disappointed with the display. There is a rumor that Sony is one of the suppliers of the SLCD2 screen on HOX. That makes me even sadder

yeah we dont need quad core, but in today’s trend, quad core cpu must have for a flagship phones. Flagship is the father of all series and the front line of the company. If Sony’s flagship is still behind the competition, i think there is no way for boost android sales. For them to be able to sell they entry level to mid devices it should be carried by the company’s flagship with top of the line and updated specs. SONY should focus on flagship next time, flag bearer will lead all his comrades to become a must have handsets.

 really? i dont think sony has slcd2 panel, sony do not produce any display panel anymore. the only panel produced by Sony is the white magic display

 I owned a Tablet S and currently an Xperia S. I’m not talking about the actual difference between pushing the buttons themselves, but you can’t unlock your screen with a touch button. You have to use the physical power button on top or on the sides and it irrates me to no end. It takes twice as long to unlock my S compared to my Arc S.

the video review kinda sux wasted 4 min for watch it :/

There is a notification light at the top right front though that has different colours.
Odds are XDA people will cook something up for the Xperia Logo but it would only have a single colour.

I’m in love <3

As the rumour Sony had xperia E,Y,C & Z in which they were going to use oled screens, s4 processer, & cyber shot camera from their T series…… What happened to that all rumoures, from these phones (LT29 & LT30) I’m really disappointed, I’m more disappointed becz Sony have technology to develop their phones even though they are not doing for example see Samsung they don’t have a good quality of camera sensor even though they take from Sony and yet they are no. 1 In mobile industry same for the apple iphone, why can’t you give us a good phones why,,,?
I’m soooooooo disappointed

Removable battery and Micro SD!! AHHHhhh`111!~!!!!!

Please someone tells me that the bad viewing angle is because it’s a prototype.

I already sold my Xperia S because of this failure and until then I was waiting for a good substitute.

And about the people that don’t understand why someone would care about it, that’s simple,
I need good viewing angle because I like:
- to show some photos/videos to my family
- to play some games with friends like Battle Ludo in a table at lunch
- to watch movies with my wife in bed

So if you have a flagship, one thing that you should expect: good screen with viewing angle.
Come on, this is Sony after all!. One leader in the Tv industry!!
How they can’t provide a better viewing experience in their flagship???

That’s what I thought as well at first! But now I kind of like how it only takes up part of your screen, kind of like how it looks on a tablet.

Why believe in rumours so much? They could be completely made up by anybody for whatever reason or no reason at all. Still I know what you mean. I want to see all of Sony’s top tech in their flagship phone. Maybe we will only see the first true Sony phone next year as the GX & SX both started as SE prototypes, when hopefully  Sony will finally have gained some momentum with the recent restructure after the Ericsson buyout.

You must be joking!!!

This is not about going dark, white or whatever color.
This is about losing a lot of contraste!

Each device lose constraste when viewing from an angle.
Some goes dark, some goes white. It doesn’t matter!
What matters, is that some lose a lot of constrast like this Prototype 
others lose a very little constraste like this Htc

Please people, let’s not excuse Sony for its bad choice. If not, he’ll repeat over and over

If Sony repeat it over and over, I still not care. I dont find my Ray or ArcS or this one screen bad, as long as the color not change when change view angle – I’m good.

now then…..Is “Mint” comin with adreno 320 graphics?…if yes then may be Mint.. but look wise..”GX” rocks! 

That would be cool to hear this. Thx for reply guys. Might intro this phone to buy gf as she love my xps. Thx

I really don’t think we have anything to worry about as far as the display is concerned.

Actually the pixels are tiny crystals that produce their own light and since they are silicon based not organic based the colors will stay vibrant after years whereas OLED looks good then 1 year later everything is way off

obviously smaller than the One X
not my upgrade from Arc S then
I want huge screen like One X ot GS III
