New superphone is rumored to be 5-inch, quad-core
"Yuga"
Sony Corp. (TYO:6758) was rumored to be in the running to make the next Nexus phonefor Google Inc. (GOOG). Instead the Nexus 4 contract was awarded to the Japanese firm's South Korean rival LG Electronics (KSC:066570) who offered up a 4.7-inch, quad-core powered design.
Undeterred Sony, according to a Phone Arena report, will be releasing an Android superphone of its own. The phone is expected to be a large screen design dubbed "Yuga". Some sources say the 1080p display will be 6-inches (making it more of a phone-cum-tablet than a pure phone); others expect it to be a 5-inch 1080p unit.
Most sources point to it packing a quad-core Snapdragon 4 chip from Qualcomm, Inc. (QCOM), possibly the APQ8064, paired with 2 GB of DRAM. It is expected to run Android Jelly Bean v1 (4.1.1) out of the box, with an upgraded to the second major version of Jelly Bean (v2) on the horizon.
