WOW! So much nice phones! I hope in 2013 we will see nice design AND high-end specs. But when I see the pictures of Yuga I'm afraid that Sony is 2013 too spec-focussed...
Notice 2012 phones are all bricks compared to 2011. 2011 phones are very curvy.
I liked the Arc design but I also like those "bricks". Every brick has some design element that lets the phone look special. My favorite one is the Ion. I like the minimalistic aspect. But Yuga looks just like a bar of chocolate....nothing special until now |

They chose a different design language. |

A few rumors for Sony competitors. S IV is supposed to release in April with an S Pen and a quad-core Exynos 5440, thicker, 9.2mm body to support a 3000+ mAh, 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display.
ZTE Grand S will have almost identical specs as Yuga, a 6.9mm profile, a 2500mAh battery.
After looking at several of the upcoming 5" Android phones I think that Yuga/Odin must have some features that have not been leaked yet.
I heard a rumor that Odin will pack a larger battery than Yuga.

I see not much difference between S4 and YUGA specs...
But SONY win clear with always the best design and better screen!

Phew...good to know that the SIV will come with jelly bean not KLP.....would have been a great disappoint if it had come with KLP
May be Yuga would sport an IR Blaster..well who knows

So the ZTE G S will be $449? Oppo Find 5 is $500 they say. I have a good feeling Sony won't match this with Yuga. They probly will with Dogo but spec wise it sounds below the Grand S and Find 5. I hope Sony gets competitive with pricing not just specs, may not look good revealing a $600+ around those two. My opinion at least. |

^^^ Sony does not compete when it cones to price. I do not think that Yuga will be below $ 700 and Odin will be around $600 or very close to other competition from HTC, Samsung and so on. |

Pricing isn't as simple as one might think.
That's why massive corporations pay Acturists and Market Analysts and Psychologists, millions of $£$ every year for this very issue. Who knows, the Odin/Yuga's superior build quality and premium price tag, may attract more customers who are looking to buy a so-called "Premium" product. The more expensive and exotic the better.
Why is it that so many people, who barely have the money, buy iPads, and MacBooks. They're after cool points and status symbols. The name Sony means a whole lot more than ZTE or Oppo (who are probably selling their phones at close to cost, which Sony simply cannot afford given their financial situation). Of course Sony's handsets will probably look better and its already shown that the build quality is fantastic.
That having been said, sensible pricing is the order of the day. They shouldn't get ahead of themselves and charge more than Apple or Samsung. At this stage they don't have the brand recognition in the smartphone arena to pull something like that off.
EDIT: To add to this, the Yuga's preproduction model got hot at ~8mm thickness (this is due to APQ8064 chipset, Nexus 4 and Optimus G have had heating issues). Imagine how hot something that is a mere 6.9mm will get.....

I was thinking the exact same thing. It will be a very hot phone at 6.9mm thickness. |

Overheat is not an issue with Yuga 
Cuz it has the most advance fast cooling features .......
Just throw it in a bucket of ice for 30 secs
Problem solved |
