We did talk about the Sony C650X Odin’s alleged specifications more than a week ago,
but had absolutely no inkling of an idea as to just how the smartphone
would look like. Well, it does seem as though additional light has been
shed into the darkness of rumors, and here we are with what could very
well be the first leaked image of the Sony C650X Odin in the flesh. The
Sony C650X Odin is touted to be Sony Mobile’s upcoming flagship device,
where it will be positioned to fight for the Android-powered phablet
market share among other rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, LG
Intuition and HTC DLX.
It seems that Sony has translated their TV design
over to the C650X Odin, where there is hardly a bezel for your eyes to
grab a hold of, as it does look as though the screen itself offers
edge-to-edge functionality. Of course, this could be due to the fact
that the device itself has been turned off, so one cannot really make a
conclusion as to whether this is legit or not. Rumored specifications
include a 5” display at 1080 x 1920 resolution, a quad-core 1.5GHz
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB RAM. Perhaps more will be
revealed at the CES showfloor next year – or will we see an official
announcement at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona after?

A few days ago we reported that a certain Sony device with the codename “Odin”
hinted at the possibility that this could be Sony’s flagship phone in
2013. However until today, only the name was known but thanks to the
folks at Phone Arena, they have managed to stumble across a forum thread
which was dedicated to Xperia rumors. While the post itself is a bit
dated, what makes it somewhat credible is the fact that the poster
referenced “Odin” a good few months before the tech publications (like
ourselves) came across it.
Since these specs cannot be confirmed, they should be taken with a
grain of salt but for the sake of discussion and entertaining
possibilities, here’s what “Odin” could feature. For starters it seems
that Sony will be taking their cue from Samsung and LG with a 5” display
which sounds like a “phablet” to us. However Sony might be one-upping
the competition with a 1080p Full HD display. It will pack 2GB of RAM
and will be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset,
the same one powering the LG Optimus G. Apart from that, not much else
was revealed.
However given that the thread is kind of old, there is a chance that
some of these specs/features could be changed, especially since we’re
not quite in 2013. It is not entirely impossible as Sony did state earlier
this year at MWC 2012 that they will not be releasing quad-core phones
until 2013, but what do you guys make of this? Do you think Sony is
jumping aboard the “phablet” bandwagon, and would you get your hands on
it if such a device did exist?
