Slide shows the Sony Xperia Honami will record 4K video

A batch of photos starring the Sony Xperia Honami and the iPhone 5 leaked less than a day ago, but it turns out there"s one more photo that"s the most interesting of the bunch. It"s a presentation slide that touts the Honami"s 4K video recording capabilities.

4K video has 4000 x 2000 resolution according to the slide (though standard is 4096 x 2160). That"s a lot – it will require a very capable chipset (the Snapdragon 800 officially supports the resolution), a capable sensor (the Honami is using a 20.7MP 1/2.3" Exmor R sensor and G lens) and tons of storage.

This isn"t the first time we"re hearing the 4K video capture rumor, but seeing it up on a slide gives it some credibility. If this rumor pans out, Sony will be able to claim a smartphone camera first at the Berlin event on September 4.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
