Sony looks set to unveil two new flagship smartphones in early 2013. Codenamed the Odin (Xperia C650X) and Yuga (Xperia C660X), they are reportedly very similar in terms of specifications with different appearances. New details suggest that this may well be the case. According to a xda-developers thread, the two will have the following dimensions:
- Yuga: 138.6 x 71 x 8.1 millimeters / 140 grams
- Odin: 131.6 x 69.7 x 9.8 millimeters / 147 grams
A glance through the discussion thread reveals a few more details: Both will sport 5-inch 1080p HD displays, 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 chipsets (APQ8064, Adreno 320 GPU and MDM9615 baseband chip with LTE support), 2GB RAM, and 13MP Exmor RS rear-facing cameras. The front and back of both devices will apparently be Dragontrail glass (similar to Gorilla Glass). Additionally, the Yuga could be water resistant (IP67 certified?) and come with a 2,400mAh battery. The Odin would also work as an IR remote.
Sony could unveil both at CES 2013 with availability expected in the March/April timeframe. It is possible that only the Odin will make its way to North America with the Yuga to be limited to Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.
Sony recently boasted that its next flagship devices would be able to compete directly against Apple and Samsung flagship smartphones. Does what you see here suggest to you that it will be able to?
