Alleged Sony Yuga front and glass back |
We are not very sold on the glass material premise in such a giant handset, since it will probably make it pretty heavy, but LG proved that you can have a glass back in a huge phone, and still keep the weight in check with the Optimus G.
In the meantime, an interesting press release emerged from Japan Display Co., the JV of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba, which revealed the invention of a 5" 1920x1080 Full HD display, utilizing Sony's WhiteMagic technology. It adds one extra white pixel to the typical RGB matrix, thus increasing brightness with just 50% of the power consumption, compared to the regular matrix. The tech is already at work with one of the brightest smartphone screens out there in the Xperia P, which, however, suffers from some color representation issues.

I hope to see more competion and not the total domination of just 1 company.
Sony is the best equipped to compete with SS and hopefully they will do better next year with these new phones.

Since Sony has taken over fully from ericcson their handsets and tech has been really starting to progress. The xperia T is the first smartphone i can say is truely a top top level from sony and if the news above is a taste of things to come then Sony might finally be starting to catch up with the top dogs like Samsung and htc in the smartphone race.

If Whitemagic is excuse for underpowering the phone with a low capacity battery then this is going to be yet another failure like Xperia P. Xperia P with whitemagic and 1350mah battery is disgusting when it coem s to battery life per charge.

A 1560x1600 resolution? That's very strange. The tablet would be almost square.

Since they named the phone 'odin' it better have the specs to back it up. Son'y phones look very good on paper but they always have some sort of shortcoming.
No sd slot, certain display issues.
