There may be a big surprise coming along the RX announcement on June 27. According to Svartling.net the new Sony i1 Honami phone will have an interchangeable lens mount! Photoarena posted a rendering of how this could look (Image on top). And a blurred picture of the real camera has been posted by Svartling:
The S1 will feature a 1/2.3 inch Exmor sensor which is exactly the same size of Cybershot compact cameras.
