I had my mind fixed on buying the Nexus 4. I understand the odin/yuga would own it in every way. However, I'm not rich and the Nexus 4 is so cheap. However, if I can't get it before the end of December, I'll just have to wait for odin/yuga, whichever one comes to my market.
I mean, why would I not just wait for 3 more months to get a phone better in every way?
Yes, it would be more expensive overall. However, here, a 24 month contract would be not too bad as there would be no up-front cost.
I wouldn't be that confident about new Sony phones. It may carry better screen and shooter but SOC will be the same. In addition, if phone will be made with glass it will be as fragile as Nexus. At this moment, Nexus is really hard to pass.
By the way, what about Sony Nexus rumors. Is it for sure that it doesn't exist? |

Odin and Yuga will use Dragontrail glass so they should be very durable |

It took a load off my mind that both will use it on the back as well. They don't need a Glassgate!

Sony Mobile has forged ahead of rival HTC in Q3, taking second place behind Samsung in the UK’s Android smartphone market.
Latest figures show the Xperia manufacturer overtook HTC during the summer, selling 500,000 Android units in the UK to HTC’s 440,000, although both lost market share to Samsung, with its Android sales standing at 3.2 million.
The news comes as Sony intensifies its smartphone drive, with Sony Mobile German sales chief Dennis van Schie revealing last week that Sony will launch a major new flagship model to rival the iPhone and Galaxy S III at CES 2013 in January.
The company is also rumoured to be making the next Nexus smartphone for Google after benchmarking website Nenamark showed an Android 5.0 operating system, known as Key Lime Pie, running on a Sony-made smartphone.
Speaking to Mobile, Pierre Perron (pictured), UK MD of Sony Mobile, declined to discuss its recent sales figures but said: ‘All sources are confirming the same trend – that we are jumping into second place in the UK Android segment. This is what all our customers are telling us, that Sony Mobile is considered a top player in the UK Android space.’
Perron said sales had been driven by UK consumers reacting ‘very positively’ to the launch of the Sony Mobile brand earlier this year, and to the major marketing campaign behind Skyfall, the latest James Bond movie, which featured its Xperia T smartphone which was launched exclusively through O2. Perron said: ‘Skyfall has boosted the visibility of our smartphones and has also been a marvellous marketing tool for the brand.’
He added that Sony’s gaming, music and movie content offering was crucial to driving smartphone sales. ‘More and more of our partners are asking us to work more closely with them. It is no longer about just launching a smartphone and hoping consumers will buy it. It is about the story we are telling, offering the very best content experience. That content is becoming more important.’
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.
IDC devices analyst Francisco Jeronimo said Sony’s split from Ericsson last year had given operators greater confidence in the brand. He said: ‘Operators are much keener to support what is one of the biggest electronics brands in the world with an entire range of integrated services. Sony Mobile has also done a good job on the hardware, the software and the price points and now has Bond behind it.’

Xperia AX(V) continues the legacy of Acro HD and is the best selling smartphone in Japan now.
Also Sony is the No.1 smartphone vendor in Japan with 14% market share.
And nice numbers from UK as well. I remember Eldar Murtazin had said a few weeks after Sony's buyout of , that Sony can forget the European smartphone market as sold a few units there only because of the Ericsson name.
What now Eldar? Sony sells more smartphones in Europe than any other brand apart from Apple/Samsung. |

Maybe slightly OT, but what happened to that site anyway? They stopped translating to English? Now Mobile-Review is only in Russian. Years ago it / Eldar used to be where I went for most of my SE news and rumours, but now there is no point (oh look, almost back on topic).

Yeah, the Mint review is still the second-newest article on the English version of the site. I miss Eldar, he was always good for a laugh .

Could the back of Yuga/Odin look something like this?
It looks very similar to the first leaked pics because of the small holes.

Sounds about right actually. Nexus 4 was producing about 18000, and Droid DNA is producing around the same as well.
