Remember when flip phones were cool? Yeah, I'm still salty.
What the fuck is wrong with people. This shit is NOT COOL.
Having a glass back IS a terrible idea. Trends dont change that. NFI why people are doing that stupid shit. And apparently its 5" and not 6.
It really does.

Well the Galaxy Note's do ship with a packed-in bluetooth headset. I'm sure other companies are going to do the same for their phablets. Just keep it in a big pocket/holster/backpack when you're not using for the smart smartphone functions.

So Sony is copying Samsung by copying Apple.
There was nothing wrong with the Xperia T design, but this is nice too, even if generic.

From S3 > Note II > Nexus 4 > HTC 1080p one > Yuga....

The leaked phones have 5 inch screen not 6
Right now only 5 inch 1080 display are in production

It's really not. For most people it might be but there is market for six inchers. Note II has proven this. I just hope Sony will have something like Spen in their 6" mobile.
Agreed. This is a little bit off topic as the phone being discussed here is not 6-inch, but what COULD tempt me to buy the 6-inch Sony phone is if they included a stylus, like you said, and integrated PS4 compatibility into it to combat the Wii U. But as it is I'm still wary of upgrading to the 5-inch phones, much less the 6-inch "phones". They would need something compelling.
Just saw these rumored specs of the Yuga:
- 1080p 5inch Screen with White Magic & Sensor on Touch and Mobile Bravia Engine 2 + Digital Touch
- 2GB RAM 1.5GHZ APQ8064 Quad core
- Water/Dust Resistant IP55/57
- 13 Megapixel Exmor RS Camera, Cybershot Superior Auto Mode, HDR video
- 2400mAh Battery
- Shatter Proof Glass front and back
- Clear Audio+
- 4G LTE
- 32 GB ROM + Micro SD expansion
The 5-inch 1080p screen with White Magic (readable in sunlight!) and it being Water/Dust resistant are absolutely my favorite things from here. It's like they combined the Xperia T, P, and V into one awesome, next-generation device. I just hope it is the Yuga that comes to the US (its twin brother, Odin, is apparently not water/dust resistant) and that they increase the battery to 2800mAh as zomgbbqwtf posted before.

These screen sizes are like DBZ power levels. Just when you think they've stopped, they keep on increasing.

I dig the design except that chrome power button sticking out of the side is just, what the fuck? That is hideous.

Agreed I hate it, and hate its placement. The phone itself looks soooooo good though
but they want to sell 50m next year!
I've no idea why they choose not to include WhiteMagic in Xperia S/T/V/etc. The screen of my friend's Xperia P looks incredible.
Yuga/Odin will probably be my next phone if they deliver on these specs.

So it looks like the smaller, IR-blasting Odin will be for the US market and a few other markets, while the water-resistant Yuga will be for the global market. I still don't like the strategy of releasing two different (if slightly) models for certain markets, but the size and specs of this makes them both very promising. I can't decide which one I would get.
Odin - 131.6mm x 69.7mm x 9.8mm
Yuga - 138.6mm x 71mm x 8.1mm
Droid DNA - 141 x 70.5 x 9.73 mm
SIII - 136.6mm x 70.6mm x 8.6 mm
Odin is smaller than an SIII with a 5-inch screen. :O

calling these things phones are a mis nomer at this point
there mini touch computers with any where internet and media features and personal digital assistants etc.
call it giganomus or w/e but it's the difference between carrying a tablet or a laptop
or a spacious as fuck "Phone" that does alot of the things a/ netbook, laptop and tablet does but it's still more portable thanks to it's 4G radios etc
6" 1080p bezel less "phones" ftfw

I have the sony xperia T and the 12MP camera isn't anything to shout for, so I wouldn't get the hopes up about that camera size.

I want one device to replace the first 5 and just keep a surface pro like tablet/laptop ...

I need a "wizardly and trolling" phone stat!
only way that might happen is if google/windows/Apple glasses 5.0 in 2020 has a crazy res of 10,000x10,000 and replaces your existing desktop/laptop and every computing device you own including your phone and powerful enough to run Crysis 7 and lsat a month in battery life.
which I suspect it will in the future....
so one pair of those cyber glasses can replace all those devices in the future
I for one welcome out visor overlords.

Is the S4 Snap Drag Quad Core processor even optimised now?
Looking at all the benchmark tests, it seems as if the dual core custom A6 processor spanks all S4 phones at the minute
Added to the fact they have shit battery life, I am not looking forward to Sony's efforts..not one bit

i can only speculate that the phone will still remain in the 4inch class of phones.
it will probably be the same size as the S3 but with the larger screen. (less bezel)
also you should have noted the ppi of 441. Now they can claim it as the best ppi
than all the other phones. (by 1) bullet points are the selling tools.
