Sony 'Odin' Smartphone to Debut as 'Xperia X'Reuters

Japanese electronics major Sony is reportedly planning to launch its 'Odin' smartphone with a moniker 'Xperia X' in the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in January.

Speculations are rife that the key features of Xperia X are identical to one of Sony's smartphone, Xperia Z (Sony Yuga). Xperia X will support dual-SIM slots and the smartphone will be thicker and heavier than Xperia Z.
