New Sony C670X details leak: 4.8-inch FHD display, 1.8GHz Snapdragon 600 [Update]

so I get xperia z or wait for this. . l

howly cow.. i thought sony will release xperia devices with snapdragon 600 by the end of the year.. this will be SIV, HTC One, and LG Optimus G Pro rivals.

Lol surely a kick in HTC’s balls!

No Xperia logo on the front?

Z looks so washed out compared to S and V. LCD3 sony, use it. or just use amoled. BE2 is just for Pictures and Video which is pretty sad. :/

Doesn’t anyone realise the render IS a Xperia TX? The position of front camera, notification LED, ambient light sensor, speaker and the overall design is EXACTLY the same, sans the Xperia logo under the screen!

no. sharp’s igzo displays use less power than typical lcds and can be made into higher resolution displays. that’s what they should be using. it’s the display apple wants to use. i hope the japs cooperate and keep the technology for the advantage of jap products.

That image just xperia z setup guide welcome image.

I think picture is fake, because the signature power button of Xperia is not there!

wtf is wrong with sony :S… they make phones to beat their own phones….. now i am all stuck if i should go for xperia Z or this?

Get both. Or get any, you like any of these

There is always a better phone coming tomorrow! You might as well be waiting forever!

No need to be racist.

If the rumors about the Snapdragon 600 are true, Sony is going to make the same error again and again: launching a flagship (Xperia S last year, Xperia Z this year) that will not be the flagship anymore after 6 months, and this happens because Sony is always a step behind (they should have used the Snapdragon 600 in the Xperia Z) and so they will be forced to release a new model to keep up with the competition…

good point. the reason being that sony’s timing is not right in the cycle of SoC. besides, sony does not get any preferential treatment from SoC manufacturers. what I do not get is that sony has a strong imaging department, they supply the sensors to iphone and yet, sony is not anywhere close to nokia with its 808 monster.

I did. It scores about 20% higher (1.8/1.5). Which is expected. It does however not do it more effectively, making the increase only more battery draining.

1.5GHz there, 1.8GHz there, you wont notice and difference.
Pretty tired of new phones, the only upgrades are perhaps a few houndred MHz, new screen, better camera, but what about the thing that really need to be developed? BATTERY LIFE!

Samsung release about 3 flagship like products a year and a gazillion other phones!

Old? They have the same adreno 320 – the differences in graphic performance are minimal ! 600 is a slightly overlocked s-pro with newer ram module – due to these we see performance increase. I think in gaming difference will be minimal. Not worth waiting(except price drop of-course)

I don’t think there will be third high end phone from Sony. they usually have 2 high end phone (regardless of different variants) they should use 800 on the second phone, because if they used 600, it will be already old chip and we thought sony will catch up

Isn’t the biggest speed improvement down to the faster RAM?

However, the Xperia Z is doing pretty well in the benchmarking stakes compared to the Nexus 4, but one thing I’ve noticed from having both the N4 and Xperia Z is that both are way faster than I need. The N4 maybe has the edge for run-of-the-mill UI operations, thanks to vanilla Android (and 4.2.2) but neither are slow and neither will probably ever run at their maximum potential for anything BUT benchmark tests.

So, now the hardware in 2013 is WAAAAY exceeding the needs of the consumer, let’s just look at finding a phone we like the look of and has good battery life. I have to say that the HTC One is one fine looking device, so it will be interesting to see if HTC can get back on its feet – it certainly deserves to, but most people buying this phone will be doing so based on the looks of the phone, not the fact it’s Snapdragon 600.

S4 Pro and S600 is pretty indetical only slightly overclock speed on S600
If u want something better wait for S800

Besides Apple, most manufacturers seem to be using CES and MWC to launch the flagships, so any phone coming out mid-year or the autumn/fall could be seen as updates.. but really, the point is that in a fast moving industry there will be a new flagship released all the time.

The Xperia S was delayed due to the change from SE to Sony, so at least the Xperia Z seems to have been released quicker and is being marketed with more Sony dollars. Interest from networks and customers alike seems to be high, and I doubt many consumers are bothered about one phone being S4 Pro and the other 600, which is really just S4 Pro overclocked and with faster memory. To them, the difference will be the smaller size and if it fits better in the pocket.

Snapdragon 800 seems even more crazy for a phone, unless Sony intends to do something clever like create a desktop/gaming mode for when connected to a TV, or sending a second screen image wirelessly to a TV or whatever – basically, something to really use the extra performance in a useful way.

If Sony is merely going to release Snapdragon 800 just to appeal to Android fanboys, I think they’ll be missing the mark which is to market devices to the same people buying an iPhone or Galaxy Snn every year and can now see a ‘third option’. To do that, Sony needs to slow down and release fewer models!

Yes i totally see it .
The gpu is totally same and even dual core krait is enough for jelly bean .
0.2Ghz overclock is ntg .

No Micro SD card slot? Would be just perfect with Micro SD card slot.

nexus5

Much better screen size & phone dimensions, prefer this over the Z

that’s not racist. It’s no different to calling me a ‘brit’

I don’t think C670′s a high-end… Maybe an upper mid-ranger… I still hope that there’s a S800 device for this year…!!!

But here we go again, I wanted to buy a z, no word on the U.S.yet, now I have to hold off again….. same Crap Sony makes on their phones, confuse you when you make your mind on one

real shit design

Info@all
the Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) and the Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) are technically identical! so the Xperia Z and HTC One does have exactly the same Hardware… HTC just clocked it to 1.7GHz

Since you confused here’s some advice, don’t buy any Sony phone period as there will always be another improved version in the works.

U misunderstood us… we love the latest, even I had bought the z and this today it would not bother me… what bothers me a new model comes out before buying the latest simply because it’s nit released yet.

I have read that the Qualcomm 600 is 40% more performant than S4, so that’s what you call “slightly overclocked and better RAM speed” ?! Come on guys…
While 800 is 75% more performant compared to S4…

you also forgot the benchmark for the new LG phablet which is also s600 and it failed to even beat the Z. At this point, software optimization is more important than hardware.

i hope Sony uses the japan display panels.
they’re much better than any displays out there!

XDA forum & Wiki don’t agree to that on memory channel

Look people the Xperia Z is an awesome phone. Fast as a joker and smooth as butter.
Truly and by far and away the best Xperia yet.
The phone doesn’t have an inferior display to either the S or the V, intact I think its is superior. Less cheap looking like on my S. The difference is Sony did more than just copy the all glass frame from the iPhone 4, they also copied the colour tone from the iPhone. I spent a long time today contrasting its display with one of the iPhone 5s at work and it was obvious that both devices had very similar tones. Less saturated than is all the rage with most android devices since Samsung created the hype around its super amoled displays.
The Z uses a standard tft display and so it’s viewing angles are poor. They’re are better than those on the S and that’s why I say it’s a superior screen. Viewing angles are its only flaw. I’m sure when the screen calibration tool gets released, colour lovers will be able to dial things up to their heart’s content or until their eyes fall off. I’m actually beginning to prefer this cooler colour tone as it’s actually easier on the eye.
battery life also isn’t an issue for regular use, just make sure you don’t set the weather widget to track your location as that takes a very heavy toll on the battery.
This phone is and will remain one of the very best phones released this year so those of you thinking of waiting for another potential device for the sake of the 600 cpu will miss out for nothing. A phone running that cpu will not feel any faster or smoother than the Z. All you’ll get is the satisfaction that your phone will match the competition in the numbers game and nothing else.
Apart from that why would you buy a phone with the 600 when a few months later the 800 will appear on 2014 flagships. The 600 uses the same krait chip. It’s just modified to support faster ram which in the grand scheme of things is neither here nor there. Think of it as an s4 pro plus. The 800 is the next generation candidate with it’s 2.3ghz engine and adreno 330 gpu.
The Z isn’t without its faults, the placement of the loudspeaker is poor and its performance rather muted. We all know about the viewing angles. That’s it, I can’t really fault the device in any other way. Very pleased with it indeed. The design just screams out class class class!!
A great effort by Sony but one I think is aimed at winning over iPhone fans more than gs3 users. The Samsung has still a big advantage in software as it has more features like gesture controls, smart stay, pop up pay etc. The Sony ui will have to evolve somewhat to really tempt Sammy lovers away in any large numbers. Apple is a weaker target and Sony’s gunning for its users who are getting bored of the same old same old.
HTC are not really in the running now, Sony beat them to it last year despite having the much technically inferior S and no real presence in America. The one will do better but not enough to make an impression. Everything the HTC has to offer needs to be explained, both in hardware and software. Do you seriously think phone shop staff and customer service reps are going to sit potential customers down and go into the details of what makes the 600 superior, or how ultra pixels work?
They don’t even understand these things themselves never mind offering explanations. Samsung will come up once again with software enhancements like those mentioned above that’ll resonate easily with consumers. The Z also has it’s waterproofing and that too will establish an easy connection with the mainstream. It’s advanced connectivity options too will add some more to that.
Phonearenna don’t sell phones, it’s shop assistants and sales reps who do.
The HTC will as usual get its high praise from the tech community but that’s where it’ll stop. They’ve only given blinkfeeds whose novelty will soon wear off. It’s basically sociallife in bold and zoe, another instrument of shallow substances driven only by the novelty of the idea.
My predictions for 2013, Samsung in first place again while Apple, Sony and Huawei battle it out for the other places leaving HTC out in the cold once again scratching its head.
Mind you Huawei is only there because of the large Chinese market.

Xperiablog can you find any clue bout ZQ

That is one of Sony’s downfalls. They release too many devices with great features across all of the devices, rather than make one device that has all of the features. Continuing to develop that one device over the years with the software as well as the hardware. There should not have been a ZL, just the Z.

What do you expect them to say. They want OEMs to adopt their new SOCs rather than opting for cheaper older versions.
The HTC one doesn’t benchmark 40% higher than the Z. Anyway why would you believe that two cpus with the same chip will perform so differently. Are you that naive. I chose the Z over the slightly less expensive One knowing it had that cpu. The question you need to ask is ‘ is the s4 pro good enough for me’.
Stop worrying about the having the latest processor, that’s just an irrational place to be. We’ve arrived at a point where I believe that the cpu is the least important thing on the spec sheet of high end devices because you can be certain that whichever one it is, it’s got more power than you’ll ever need.

You all Do Realise its Just A rumour Right and Sony haven’t announced it Yet so For Those Getting Angry at Sony After buying The Z To Only Hear About This New Phone Stop Complaining Its Not Even Been Announced yet! So Just Be happy With the Z Right Now And This Is Most Likely Be The 2H End Flagship Like The Xperia T Was !

Get off This Blog! You Have No Idea What you Are On About!

S4 Pro Quadcore and Dualcore should have different RAM-Controllers that’s true
S4 Plus (Xperia T, V and HTC One S 1st Generation) has DDR2 dualchannel
S3 (Xperia S, Ion, One S 2ng Gen) has DDR2 single channel

It seems that Samsung will still be keeping the cheap looking plastic, which isn’t much of a surprise I suppose (after seeing the Galaxy Note 8 at MWC). Another thing that probably isn’t a surprise is that it will be offering a number of new and unique features in software to differentiate itself from the competition, not just pushing the hardware. Obviously if it has the octo-core big.LITTLE chipset, that’s going to be a big deal too – but ironically, this is more about making it better when NOT doing loads of things than the other way around!

From Samsung’s point of view, it has attempted to mimic Apple in many ways (not just having some devices looking like clones) and wanted to get into a position where people would look at the company and the new Galaxy device in the same way as the next iPhone. It has pretty much achieved that, to its credit, and so the GS4 is clearly going to sell in large numbers no matter what.

A luxury that Sony is yet to enjoy, or indeed HTC.

Any new news/rumors about this phone?
