Purported Sony Honami press images hit the web ahead of handset’s announcement

A new set of images reportedly showing the unannounced Sony Honami have hit the web, and this time around we’re apparently looking at press images for the device. The three new images only reveal the front side of the handset, although that seems to be enough to identify the device as the Honami, at least when compared with previous leaks. In case you’ve seen them, you’ll easily recognize the layout button on the right side of the handset which includes the on/off switch, the volume rocker, but also what is believed to be a dedicated camera phone button, placed towards the lower part of the right side.

Motorola Droid RAZR Ultra and RAZR M Ultra coming to Verizon

It’s been a big day for Motorola-related news so far. Not only have we seen what is allegedly the Sprint version of the Moto X, we also got our first peak at Motorola’s new Google-influenced logo. The day isn’t over yet, and now we bring word of the Motorola Droid RAZR Ultra and Razr M Ultra. The latest news comes to us from the well-known and highly accurate @evleaks.
