Sony Xperia Odin official render image leaked

Posted: 01 Nov 2012 01:12 PM PDT

Earlier in October, we heard about the Sony’s new upcoming flagship device codenamed as ‘Odin’. Recently, a Japanese tech site posted a leaked shot of a Sony phone, and they claimed it that it’s the Sony S650X Odin, though we still need some more solid evidence. Now according to Sony Veit the image below is the official render image of the Sony Odin.

It’s rumored that it will feature a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro and a 1080p screen, 13 MP camera on the back, 2 GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, so with such bells and whistles under the hood, I am sure this device will give some hard time to all the competitors.

Though what we heard is that it will be launched somewhere in 2013, but let’s wait for Sony to come out with the official words. By the way, I am really interested in this ‘sexy’ device, what about you? Tell us about it in the comment box below.

What we know so far about it is that it will feature a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 8-megapixel camera and Verizon’s super fast 4G LTE speeds as well. We really don’t know when Verizon will officially launch it, but we can expect it soon as it was mentioned on Verizon’s leaked roadmap.

AT&T, T-Mobile team up to combat smartphone theft

Posted: 01 Nov 2012 07:18 AM PDT

AT&T and T-Mobile have paired up to help combat thefts of smartphone by adding their list of IMEIs to a national database.  Initially announced back in April, this joint and voluntary effort will also see help from Verizon and Sprint and is backed by the CTIA and FCC. Now, instead of blocking handsets by SIM card, the carriers can disable pones based on the unique identifier inside the phone.

CTIA and its member companies have always been advocates for wireless users' safety, which is why we're pleased our members met the voluntary deadline to create databases that will prevent stolen smartphones from being reactivated.
