Whatever the device is, it has made its second round of appearance in photo shoot, and again the same source evLeaks posted the image of that thin bezel LG smartphone. In latest photo also we can notice that it sports a ultra thin bezel, and there is an aluminium strip covering the ear piece. If it is the LG Optimus G2 then it is rumored to be coming with a 5" 1080p screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at 2GHz. The OS may be Android 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. Anyway let's wait for more on the device. Via : Evleaks Twitter

The folks at Xperia Blog posted the images of an unannounced Sony Xperia handset with a model number S39h. There is no detail available on the device, except its photos, model number and some wild guesses. The device seems to be a mid ranger that will stand above Xperia L. The phone appeared in white color in the photo, and we can see a dedicated camera button and a signature power button. The design is strongly inspired by other models in their 2013 line up. The source is not sure on whether the design is a final one that will directly go to production, or it is just a prototype that will see many design changes in future. Sony mainly follows two naming structure for their devices in 2013, one with model number CXXXX and the other one is S/M/L structure denoting small/medium/large handsets, and is used exclusively in China. Provided the fact, the newly spotted device may be a China exclusive, so we don't know whether it will make its way to other parts of the world. Let's wait...
