New 5"-Sony-smartphones Photo's
2013 is promising to become another interesting year for handsets, and if this pair of leaked Xperia smartphones is any indication, Sony is likely to be off to a solid start come CES reports engadget. The svelte Xperia Z "Yuga" and slightly sleeker ZL "Odin" have made a premature debut on the Japanese tech giant's site, with a pair of straight-on press shots appearing overnight. The Xperia Z shot appears to be in line with earlier leaks, while the ZL is shaping up to be a slightly more compact variant, potentially squeezing identical hardware into a smaller shell.
Both devices are rumored to include 5-inch 1080p LCDs, quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processors with 2 gigs of RAM and Adreno 320 graphics, along with a 13-megapixel Exmor RS sensor on the rear -- oddly, the ZL's front-facing camera appears to be positioned on the bottom. Sony has yet to confirm either device's specifications, but with CES just around the corner, we don't have long to wait for either device to become official.

It's about time. Sony are late, VERY late into the game. Hopefully they are able to offer something powerful & just as good as, if not better than the competition.

If this trend continues, I can see me offering Walter White (of Breaking Bad) some serious competition as far as a multiplicity of mobile phones is concerned!

Because that's the smallest size the new Full HD displays are made in so far?
Anyway, IIRC the ZL (Odin) still has smaller dimensions than the SGS3.

What I'd like to see is a touchscreen phone with regular back/home buttons.
I keep hitting the touch buttons accidentally all the time.
