I always come into these threads hoping that these phones will run Windows 8, but always leave disappointed.
So I was thinking about a new naming system for Sony mobiles, I think they should base it off the new Nexus naming convention so we would get:
Xperia 3 - Low-range 3.5"
Xperia 4 - Mid-range 4"
Xperia 5 - Top-range 5" (Odin)
Xperia 5R - Top-range 5" with water resistence.
Xperia 6 - Phablet
Xperia 9 - Tablet
Xperia 13 - XL tablet
It is also similar to the NEX naming convention, and once that has settled in, they can just build the brand for each size, and give newer versions new letters after the number, similar to the NEX range.
PS mobile? playstation mobile? will that even work on touch screens or will they have speicific phones for that?
It's just the xperia T + LTE + Dust-proof and waterproof.

Where would the vita tablet and vita phone fall on that? Lol
Xperia 5V/9V?
Latest figures show the Xperia manufacturer overtook HTC during the summer, selling 500,000 Android units in the UK to HTCs 440,000, although both lost market share to Samsung, with its Android sales standing at 3.2 million.
Perron confirmed Sony Mobile is considering other operating systems besides Android but added, Android is probably the best fit for the manufacturer currently because it offers easy and unified access across the Sony portfolio. We are discussing other alternatives and we are open to other possibilities providing the platform enables us to build on that tradition, he added.
.One of the high-end smartphones that Japanese mobile phone maker Sony is expected to bring to the market in the beginning of the next year has leaked online as Sony Yuga, and the first concept device based on its specs is now available for your viewing pleasure.
Coming from designer Kanishka Sanjaya, the Sony Xperia Yuga concept phone looks highly appealing, while also boasting impressive hardware specifications.
The smartphone was designed with a 5-inch FHD IPS+ LED backlit TFT screen with Mobile Bravia Engine 2 and White Magic technology.
The handsets 1080 x 1920 pixel screen can deliver a 441ppi pixel density and is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
Inside the smartphone, theres a 1.7 GHz quad-core Krait CPU (APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 pro chipset) with Adreno 320 GPU to deliver great performance capabilities to users.
2GB of RAM complement the processor, along with 32GB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 64GB of external storage.
On the back, the Sony Xperia Yuga concept sports a 13-megapixel photo snapper with Exmor RS lens, LED + Xenon flash, and HDR video recording capabilities. It is complemented by a 2MP camera for making video calls.
The specs list of this concept phone also includes LTE, HSUPA, EDGE connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, HDMI via MHL, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot, and Wi-Fi Direct. The smartphone is powered by a 3,200 mAh Li-ion battery.
Xperia Yuga runs under Googles Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system right from the start, and also features xLoud for speakers and a multi-window option to run multiple apps at the same time.
Enthusiasts will certainly jump on this device, should Sony indeed decide to release a model with similar specs in the beginning of the next year. For the time being, however, this is only a concept phone, so dont get your hopes too high
It's like that person didn't even see the leaked shots of Yuga or any of the second half 2012 Xperia phones.
Just saw this at Esato:
Yuga's AnTuTu score is 19792, compared to other S4 Pro handsets: 17500 Nexus 4, 19000+ Droid DNA
I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here:

Possibly WM8 or vita OS.
That last part sounds like a possible W8 if MS allows Sony to push its services through on the phones.
Thats an impressive score.. usually sony dont very high on the chart. look like they have done some optimization.

I was thinking about the naming convention and while the Nexus one doesn't sound bad, I still prefer the 2011 range naming scheme. Arc, Neo, Ray, Pro and Mini are very nice additions to the Xperia name and very nicely differentiate the phones. Something along similar lines would have been great. For example, I think Xperia Arc 2 would have been a much better name for the Xperia T or Xperia Light would have been a better name for Xperia S.
I am a massive fan of their code names.
Sony Nozomi
Sony Hayabusa
Those are way cooler than S or T.
I doubt we'll see Playstation Mobile next to Xbox.
Also a good news for those in UK. Yuga will be on sale in UK in February apparently, but the price will be higher than any Sony/Sony Ericsson(oops Sony branded Sony Ericsson/Sony Ericsson ) phone in history
This is according to sidneylopsides, a Sony Mobile ambassador from UK.
It is listed as a quad-core Cortez-A15 endeavor, but neither Qualcomm, nor NVIDIA with Tegra 4 are in the mix. It is also claimed to feature 3 GB of RAM, 16 MP camera, and 3,000 mAh battery, all worthy ingredients.
February seems alright for having a Q4 flagship launch as is being rumoured.
Btw phonearena posted a rumour which coincides big time with what zomgbbgftw has been telling us:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony...-Cortex-A15-beast-with-a-huge-battery_id37496
Oh right, sorry I thought you got it from that forum and then took it here and then then phonearena noticed it.That's because it is my rumour, including the naming convention I came up with. PhoneArena is operated by a bunch of chimps.
Anyway, since other sites are now reading my posts for rumours I'll have to stop posting them. D:
One last one for the road, the 4" screen for the P successor comes from JDI.
SE xperia phones have very bad viewing angles so far, will sony improve on this area? i dont know why they keep using bad screens (even for their vaio laptops) and then post-processed it with bravia mobile engine/super white junk?
i drool after reading anandtech review of iphone5 display, and verify on the ground it is truly beautiful, but i dont want itunes!
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6334/iphone-5-screen-performance
The Japan only GX is great and the P has Whitemagic tech which is great for outdoor viewing, the S is also pretty great as is Ion (all JDI/Sony), but the T, Sola and U are poor (all LG Display). I think it is partly due to volume, the T is set to be Sony's highest selling phone and they needed a lot of screens fast, capacity at JDI was all going to HTC who are paying a massive premium while Samsung are not supplying to Sony Mobile because of competition concerns.
Anyway, they are going to AUO and JDI for their screens from 2013, so it will be a big improvement over their current generation phones.

Are you serious? Why?
This thread will be dead without you
Holy shit that sounds and looks epic. Near enough perfect dare I say...Just the back looks a bit whack.
Yuga and Odin both have glass backs. I think it is Dragontrail glass from Asahi which is tougher than Corning's Gorilla glass.

Xperia Z/ZX next flagship xperia
Final rumor for the day, Sony Q4 13 flagship will use Samsung Exynos 5 Quad chipset. MSM8974 was what Sony wanted but seeing how it won't be competitive they decided to go for a true Cortex A15 solution. Though before you all get alarmed, this will not be the same chip that SGS4 will use, but a more powerful one. It will be used in Galaxy NOTE 3.
Other specs as of now -
Samsung Exynos 5 Quad
3 GB RAM
5 inch OLED display FHD
128GB ROM
16 megapixel camera
3000mAh battery
Water/Dust resistant
IR blaster
And a HUGE surprise which I can tell you only after CES.
That's it, I don't have any more rumors to share. Now only waiting till CES
