Nothing like it. Odin and yuga have same design/look just slightly different sizes. Look for the yuga leaked pictures.

Both have dragontail glass front and back.

Not sure on that yet. Odin definitely will hit US shores, hoping yuga does too. Yuga is the only water resistant one.

Well it makes me feel happier about the situation if Odin looks like a smaller, sleeker version of Yuga. The IR remote is a feature I've been dreaming about on a phone and I'm VERY excited they're incorportating it.

I have contacts ;). Should be March/April timeframe at least that's what's planned so far.

There goes my fantasy that Sony would intro it at CES or MWC, and have it immediately available for sale, just to surprise us all :(

Well you never know they could change the timeframe. I'm just going by what I know so far. I am excited to about the IR remote. LOVED that feature of the Tablet S. These phones are going to be freaking amazing.

Can we expect some special camera features, like recording in 720p at 60 or 90 fps? It' d be great to see it in those phones.

Is there a chance that Odin will be waterproof?
How's the Camerea? is it the Exmor RS ? Will it have another features? like IR or maybe Bravia Engine 3 :D

Hmm considering that Yuga is supposed to be larger than Odin, what else could it have in it to justify the larger size? Larger battery could be it, but would they make the phone that much larger for just a slightly larger battery? Would making it water/dust resistant cause it to be larger?

According to randomuser over on esato, both Yuga and Odin are international phones. I wonder if that means they'll be competing in the same markets or not.

Maybe Yuga will be a LTE device and due to this will have a slightly bigger battery than Odin. Yuga could be for LTE markets like US and Odin for the rest of the world.
What I find interesting is, that At&t has ditched the H1 Xperia flagship, but instead will go for the H2 one.

Odin is not water resistant. Yes to ex or RS, yes to IR remote as I mentioned. I believe both will have the latest bravia engine. Wasn't really paying attention for that.

Just tossing this out there randomly, but how hard do you guys think it'd be for Sony to create a device that dual boots Android and Vita OS? Considering how locked down the Vita is and how fearful Sony is of piracy, I'd imagine that said device would have to keep both OS's completely seperate, possibly not even sharing the same internal storage.

But anyways, complex hardware issues aside, would such a thing really be possible? Would such a thing sell in your opinion?

Nah, not going to happen unless they create some sort of hybrid OS that also runs Android apps and another Xperia Play-style hardware device (which also seems extremely unlikely to me).

I'm curious if anyone knows whether Sony will use a similar design to Odin and Yuga on smaller size phones in 2013 with the dragontrail glass and all. I have friends who would probably love something smaller in the same design. Plus I wonder if the 6 incher will look the same.

Anyone happen to know if we'll be seeing the return of floating touch from the Sola in either Odin or Yuga?

    Let the rumor mill begin!! :laugh:

    According to Xperia Blog Sony C650X ‘Odin’ model number uncovered [2013 flagship] and C660X YUGA are appearing in benchmarks


    Sony Mobile is revamping its model numbers from 2013 onwards. Gone is the ST/MT/LT code structure to denote small, medium and large touchscreen handsets. Instead what we now have is a new five character model number that will be the new standard going forward.

    The User-Agent Profile (UAProf) for Sony Mobile’s 2013 flagship, codenamed ‘Odin’, has been discovered (see an extract below). From the brief information, we can tell that there are three new Sony Mobile model numbers: C6502, C6503 and C6506. We understand that these are all one handset – the different last character in each model number denotes the region/carrier to be released. The UAProf shows that this 2013 flagship is running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with 10.1.A.0.XXX firmware. Excited? Let the 2013 Xperia rumours begin.

    New Sony C670X details leak: 4.8-inch FHD display, 1.8GHz Snapdragon 600 [Update]

    We have received word of a new Sony Xperia C670X handset that is due to launch this summer. The information comes from a tipster who recently provided us with the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean screenshot for the Xperia Z. Obviously, as with any rumour, treat all of the following with a pinch of salt.

    In terms of specifications, the Sony C670X is expected to come with a slightly smaller display than the Xperia Z (C660X) at 4.8-inches but will still have a full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920. The C670X will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) chipset with 1.8GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 320 graphics. Other features include 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and a 13MP Exmor RS camera. We are told the phone is due to launch in the middle of 2013 with Android 4.2.

    Along with all of this spec information, we were sent a render of the Sony C670X. We cannot tell from the picture if the C670X has a heavy glass influence like the Xperia Z or uses aluminium. Judging from the render, the ear speaker is similar in style to the Z/ZL. It looks like the top of the phone includes a front-facing camera , notification light, light sensor and proximity sensor.

    Given that the expected release is still a number of months away, the design may end up changing prior to launch. This is perhaps why there are no app icons in the display area, the render only shows the latest Xperia wallpaper. Anyway, that’s all we have for now. As mentioned before, treat all of this firmly as a rumour.

    Update: The image sent over is the same as used in the set up guide for the Xperia Z, despite it clearly not being a picture of the Xperia Z. So either this Sony render is a generic placeholder image used when setting up a new 2013 Sony Xperia handset or it is indeed an image of an upcoming handset that Sony has inadvertently used in the Xperia Z. [Thanks Kihoon!]

    Was all a bit rushed sorry, only had 10min.
    Found some Sony Alpha pics in the gallery, they looked stunning on the screen. Easily one of the best I've seen.
    The feeling is almost strange, there's no give or flex at all. Like it's a solid lump. There isn't another phone I can think of that feels so.... Solid! It feels carved from block rather than put together.
