Sony is already working on the models that will hit the market next year. And it is obvious that if they want to have a good role in 2013 they will have to make an extra effort to take a bite out of Samsung, which dominates the entire panorama of Android smartphones with its Galaxy family. What could be the flagship of the Japanese company has already appeared, its code name and, for now, the most recognizable, is Xperia Odin, although its alphanumeric code is the C650X.
The profile of this device has already appeared in one of the registration agencies, so we can know some superficial details of the new Sony smartphone, although rather few. We know, for example, that three different profiles have been registered, with three codes. We have the C6502, the C6503 and the C6506. However, the most logical thing is to think that these three different codes actually refer to the same device, with its own characteristics, and that the last figure varies depending on its regional objective or the operator.
From what has been seen, more things can also be deduced, such as that it will use the latest version of the operating system 4.1.1 Android Jelly Bean, good news, without a doubt. However, if the rumors of the launch of the next version of Android are confirmed during this month of October or in November, we would have to see what Sony does. The normal thing is that it is launched with Jelly Bean and the promise of an update to the future version, although the ideal would undoubtedly be that it be launched directly with Key Lime Pie. Its build version would be 10.1.A.0.XXX.
In any case, there will still be a long wait. If it is Sony's 2013 flagship, the most normal thing is that we see reach the Xperia Odin in February, during the Mobile World Congress 2013.
