  • Hi all, this phone is the Xperia TX LT29i which has been released almost worlwide. Please research on Xperia TX if you need more info, pics, actual user comments :)

  • looks like a next avatar Galaxy S II

  • status : Cancelled

  • i like this phone, but dont have enough money to buy, i must earn much or somebody give me money to buy. but it dont release yet.

  • This would be better than iPhone and can possibly change the face of Sony, but I think they cancelled it because of its looks. I mean you could've mistaken it for an iPhone if it wasn't for the label. Plus one designer of Sony said that they want a phone that can be recognized from afar. Like there's a guy texting across the street then you already know, oh, he's using Sony Mobile.

  • Man why don't you write correctly??

  • It should be released coz it's almost same 2 d xperia s nd it's spec. is 2 good. So why it's nt releasing?

  • why aren't there more pictures of this mobile phone? it looks cool.

  • Hi, Sony & Ericson story was a real case study for IT security and BCP/DR research students. Long time back Nokia was the leader in market. Ericson also had a good growing market. Both of them bought micro chips and IC's from Philips. but Nokia had a backup chip manufacturer as well, but Ericson was depending on philips only. One day philips company burnt with fire and there all chips and equipments are burnt, but they had a backup store chips and equipments but they also malfunctioned due some issues. Therefore fore a long time philips stopped manufacturing their chips. This coz Ericson serious trouble which make them go with Sony. Finally which made the agreement as Sony Ercison phones to be borned with merged tech. But now finally Sony kicked off ericson and became Sony only Mobiles. Ericson is still have a good market in Healthcare, Teleco products.. But They failed bcoz of their poor infrastructure planning. No proper disaster recovery plan. This is the real Story. How Sony Ericson borned and Sony moved into Mobile phone industry.

  • hey guys if you are looking for a crystalline depth display, smooth interaction during heavily busy hours, equipped techno apps processing, neat camera, then go n get XPERIA S. however this hayabusian beast is awaited here as well

  • NO, Sony has not bought Ericsson. Ericsson is, among other things, the worlds biggest manufacturer of telecom equipment, its what the big tele companies use to make your phone work, Ericsson is the one to make the really big and advanced things for cellphone technology, and by selling their share in the Joint Venture SONY ERICSSON to Sony they have withdrawn from consumer grade products, but they are still involved in ST Ericsson, who makes chipsets and radio circuits and whatever for consumer grade cellphones, Sony still uses some of them, for example in Xperia Sola, and Samsung has used many and even launched a new phone just days ago using a STE NovaThor chipset.

  • It's realy awesome hope sony will be launch it shortly.... I also love ma ion... But w8ng for hayabusa

  • It's Sony not Sony Ericsson.Ericsson was bought by Sony last year i think

  • beautifull

  • is it Sony or Sony Ericsson? Anyway, i love it!

  • I want this Hayabusa because this contain 13MP camera and secondary camera . I very want this phone for my birthday present.

  • rectangle with round corners.. sue-able

  • I saw this for sale on eBay.. Spec is different in some with this..

  • This phn is super thin...but Sony Xperia gx and this phn does not have any major difference b/w specs...I wonder why....another thing that sum people here are wanting it to be in 4cores, but dual core1.5 krait is extremely good enough, quad core will take battery like hell and also of no use...only difference would be the price...'!!!...think upon it...

  • Hi, from my research on other websites via google, it will have 16 GIB MB internal memory. Do you any of you know if this will have a stand alone FM radio? I know via Android Google play store you can install a radio app but I want to know if it has a radio built in. Please advise. I will get this or the Sony Mint. I prefer this one as it is bigger 4.6 inch screen. I want something equal or bigger than my SGS2. The Mint is the same size but has a bigger camera. Thanks.

  • I like the design of this phone so much. I want this phone so badly. Getting this phone for new year.

  • this phone comes up with dual core krait(Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon) processor i am sure its speed can make simple quad cores sweat.. it is almost twice as fast as galaxy s2.. and might be even faster than flagship s3. check this out yourself.

  • if this phone comes up with dual core krait processors i am sure its speed can make simple quad cores sweat..

  • Hayabusa is the world's fastest bike and bird and this mediocre phone is an insult to the name.

  • true HD IPS would have been nice ...

  • wth is wrong with all u ppl wanting quad core processors ? a dual core krait is good enuf to run most apps flawlessly and a quad core phone drains battery like no tmr ...

  • LOl, it will be much better than ur so called 4 core

  • 1GHz dual core processor Snapdragon S4 chipset Resolution: 800 x 480 pixels U mad bro?

  • Disappointed it's not running a quad-core processor too.

  • Spec for the Mint below although some sites report the screen will 4.3!

  • Mint is 4.6" display with microsim & 16gb expandable memory!

  • Does this beast have an onboard radio? This will influence me buying the product or not. I know I can get play apps like "Tune In Radio Pro" but I desire an FM radio. I have had m SG2 since June last year and will get a Sony in September or October.

  • yes..it is just the same.lt29i or hayabusa is just the international version of xperia gx

  • my only issue with this phone is the battery only having 1700mah knowing that it is a phone after the xperia ion already having 1900mah.it should have been given 2000+ mah battery.so sad SONY altough overall the phone is good.

  • Just wondering...

  • hayabusa has a regularsim with 4.6 inch display. Mint has a microsim with 4.3 inch display ? PLS interchange this

  • why does the picture of SONY Xperia says SONY ERICSSON Xperia?

  • hayabusa has a regularsim with 4.6 inch display. Mint has a microsim with 4.3 inch display ? PLS interchange this

  • If sony release it with Android Jelly Bean, then it could be a more attractive model.

  • true! i don't the see the need for quad-core phones. just a marketing strategy to make the product "better" than others then rant that they have the best phone with all the benchmark tests. it's all in the chip they put in the phones and as long as it serves it's purpose, i'll stick with my single core phones. i'm using android and ios btw.

  • Cool!So thin and big screen!13mgpx..... Wish it release this year.

  • Yet.Its still dual core only...

  • It looks cool, and it has a big screen which many like. Well done Sony!

  • too soon!

  • We will see that. ;)

  • 13 mp camera beautiful design ,, samsung reign is about to end

  • gr8 specs. big batt.

  • the S4 chipset inside the ONE S, XL and the Xperia GX is called S4 PLUS , this type of SoC has 2 Krait cores with an Adreno 225 GPU , the S4 Pro has either 2 or 4 Krait cores with "UP TO ADRENO 320 GPU " meaning Adreno 320 or 225 , I guess an S4 chip with dual core Krait and Adreno 320 is the best solution for phones cuz it is pretty powerful and not so much power-hungry , IMHO

  • But if you do notice the whole sentece he says "to make other phone jealous", his stupidity is revealed right there, i agree on the fact that Krait is as fast as the Quad-core processors but for some reason in Antutu it falls short of them, maybe if developers optimize apps to use quad core they will give a better user experience than Krait.

  • I want it so bad! its perfect for me! when will it come out and what will be the GPU - is it gonna be A Xperia GX or something better (adreno 320 etc.)?

  • Mr HayaBusa ur not quite impressive .:)

  • Well not a lot of people understand hyper-threading. Its just the thinking " More cores more fun " is what they apply. Its not that it actually beats quad-core but not a lot of applications today can utilize 4 cores. Plus nowadays, Even a rooted & overclocked single/dual core phone can do almost all things a quad core phone does. What I would prefer is higher ROM, A good battery (1800 mah) and 1 gig RAMs to be defaulted on most android phones.

  • SONY to announce a new device next week before they launch several model in singapore. I guess LT29i to get official. If not, then it must be the Tipo.

  • Whitemagic is useless. Just make your black screen really bright. You're not gonna need 1000+ nits, it would be better if sony use ips panel.

  • I'm wondering, why people still think quad-core always better than dual-core? It's clear that dual-core krait beat any A9 quad-core on the market. Just because it has more cores, it doesn't mean it's more powerful

  • Why no Quad core, if it has quad core it would be the best phone in this world. I love Sony but just need the speed to make other phones jealous.

  • sony , make this on white also

  • Seems like details are off. If its packing an adreno 320 it means it's running Off of the s4 pro chipset, which isn't aimed at phones for the time being, it's mainly aimed at Tablets that can provide enough juice to keep the CPU running for longer than an hour. Furthermore, the s4 pro is quad core as far as I know unless they release different variants. I'd bet if this does come out it will have the adreno 225 chipset on board along with the rest of the regular s4 SoC.

  • Sony said dual core is more than enough, they will release quadcore or more but probably not soon. People wants quadcore phones or 8 cores so badly, but for what? It's a phone!! I think Sony is true, but probably it's their weakness that they don't give what people wants.

  • why so i heaerd somewhere that this phone will get whitemagic display

  • this is impossible. because for now White Magic is limited to 4 inch

  • sony should have included white magic technology here like xperia P ...

  • poor child your so ignorant you base performance by numbers T_T .. china phones even have 8cores with 20mp cams will it preform better?

  • Poor phone. Dual Core CPU lol

  • sony can release Mint first to compete with s3 rather than hayabusa

  • ive been using Airtel sim with my xperia s,but i cannot connect to 3G with Airtel,and on the service provider only Airtel 2G is avilable while Reliance3G and BSNL 3G appear....maybe its because of the reception se..that i accept..ive been using Reliance 3G sim on my Visontec 3G dongle with a pretty good speed,as i replace my Airtel with 3g Reliance sim on my Sony S,service provider for Reliance 3G is checked but im unable to enjoy the thrill of 3G on my Sony..could u pls..pls preety pls...send me whart i should do on my cell 730896910 coz my internet connection is not reliable...pls

  • Please Sony announce this phone, from the leaked 13mp photos theylook fantastic & way better than the HTC One X & Samsung Galaxy S3

  • iphone 4s has 512mb ram not 1gb.

  • FYI xperia S has a front cam so as the other units xperia S also has a 32gb internal memory... 1gb is the ram which is the common ram of a phone which samsung sIII and iphone4s also has... expect more for this phone as the specs are still rumors..

  • are you lost? sony xperia s has 32gb internal and a hd 720p front camera... lowest was xperia u i guess with 8gb internal memory and it also has a front facing camera' FYI

  • FYI Apple did not invent Siri, they bought it. Some may have forgotten that Siri actually started as a popular App Store app for the iPhone, begun in early August of 2008. :)

  • The S3 can make 20 pictures in a few seconds. Yes, we can say this was stolen. There are others as well who copy different things. If you invent a great application, after a time others will copy it. Apple invented Siri a few years ago. Now you think others will NOT try to make a similar Intelligent Speaking Assistance Software because it was invented by Apple? Because they were first this not mean others will not have the right to make something similar. You will see that next year some companies will use the Eye Tracking system as well. You will see other phones with Direct Call for example. In this world you will always see copied things.

  • That's the Ram.

  • it's 1GB of RAM not the internal storage capacity.. this phone will be at least 16 GB in terma of storage.

  • Why cant sony create one with bigger internal atleast 4gb and front camera?.. All specs are gud..

  • Well, lets wait. Wants more? "Best Photo through Burst Shot" Stolen from SonyEricsson, for example from K800i Feature BestPic� (9 full quality pics in 1 second)

  • Wowwww great specs...is this device having ADRENO 320 GPU?....if so I will buy this once international version is released.....

  • Well, let's wait till the announcement. ;)) By the way I give you a link, please check it.

  • S beam ?? this is stolen from Sony check this, announced months ago, created by Sony

  • S3 is a joke big time direct call, is nothing and S-voice is a clone feature from Apple, gtfo from here with this, we are talking about the next most balanced top smartphone kid

  • Sony will not be on top yet, sorry to disappoint you. Samsung has a very good marketing strategy, and they make many phones. This is their key of success. By the way the S3 has monstrous features, such as the S Voice(first good app on Android), S Beam(NFC at new level), Direct Call, huge internal memory and so on.

  • I think this will be a monster phone. I am curious of it's features. It will be better than the S3? This is a good question.

  • display led not amoled? go to... sony...

  • first picture of this monster:

  • Oh my brother, I love ur comment "an affordable yet competitive and also highly standard phones". Am just glad that many people are coming to there senses, that sony and apple own innovation. Unlike samsung that think with there belly. I told one guy in samsung forum that sony can end all these samsung fuzz and noise with a single blow. That, the only reason they would'nt do it is bcos they want to draw a fine line between portable gaming system and mobile phones. When u have a gaming system on one hand and a mobile phone on the other, u just have to be taking decisions wisely. And this is the only thing that stops sony from kicking sammy ass. Assuming they convert just psvita into a mobile phone, then name one samsung product(tablet, phones and note) that has what it takes to compete? One luv.

  • And also i would add to it 4G connectivity , Bluetooth 3.0 version,and ``voice listener`` for example if u tell ur phone shut down: it`ll will shut down. So SONY make this phone super and dont let me down.

  • what the heck.. hayabusa.. its suzuki monster superbike :D

  • but even if it will not be sony's flagship, that doesn't mean that it specifications won't be better than the xperia S, right??

  • The Xperia "LT29i hayabusa" will not be the flagship of SONY this phone is set to compete with samsungs flagship which will be released in the market on the same quarter span there for expect more on the up coming SONY flagship which will be launched to compete on the same date Apple releases their flagship (september probably) which is tagged as xperia MINT_I. SONY sets its market standards with consideration to provide endless opportunities for future innovations while assuring to meet and provide the best technology for each generation. SONY produces affordable phones yet competitive and highly standardize.

  • Woah woah... Next time you should browse more... Some of the detailed specifications written in this page are just predictions, based on previous models & other brands of the same spec (cpu, RAM, etc.) Sony hasn't released any official specification sheet about Hayabusa, so most of the detailed specs you find in the internet will be mostly predictions.

  • FM=???...NFC=???...TV Out=???.....rest of spec. is world class...

  • dear, these specs are not final.. sony hasn't announced the device yet, so it may have nfc and all other things u mentioned :)

  • amazing phone but when will be released in middle east??

  • I will surely buy dis one..

  • Adreno 320 wow. sounds good............

  • Sony can think of better specification for this phone than these ones,,they are missing NFC,full HD LCD touchscreen,stereo speakers at least 2,Tv out,2 mp at least for front camera,2GB of Ram,ant support,divx/xvid player because they are missing this all the time, and some other good specs what would this phone make super.

  • hope this comes out soon cause s3 is a epic fail! this might change the game and win sony on top!

  • if this is real,,,,this will be atop class one.

  • The specification is AWESOME!!

  • i have arc s before and i don't wanna buy xs.. i only wait this masterpiece launch...

  • First! Cannot wait for this phone. Sony's true next gen phone...none of this Ion garbage

  • I wish it was around 12cm height... :(

  • If it turns out to be true that a phone with a decent architecture of its dual core processor and an advanced gpu is going to be launched on June, then it's a shame for Sammy if they come tomorrow, just a month ahead, with a quad core A9 processor and a MALI400 gpu (this last thing won't happen anyway).

  • this baby will be one of the next iphone killer.

  • iPhone killer

  • If the Hayabusa battery is not user replaceable, then I will stick with Samsung Galaxy S series phones. I wanted a phone with a large screen and a 12MP camera, but to have a non-replaceable battery means that I would never consider it. I hope SONY realise that the professionals want replaceable batteries. We want to be able to take such phones on longhaul flights, and change batteries if necessary.

  • this got a better battery. hope it last a week for you complainers. reeky from Nigerian.
