@vivftp

I already discussed 2013 portfolio in an earlier post in this thread. FHD OLED will come Q3 2013. So no you can't expect it at CES.

As for the source of the panels, its not going to be Japan Display. That is the only info I have. 2014 and beyond we may see Sony OLED panels (JMD).

CES highlight will be Quad core ! And a few new "changes" or say transition phones from Sony Ericsson to Sony Mobile.

Hmm a quick recap for you then.

CES 2013 - 4.6 inch 720p, 1 gb ram, Qualcomm s4 quad. The same phone in Japan with 2gb ram and water resistant body.

In Q2 2013, two new devices with 5 inch 1080p SLCD2 panels, 2gb ram.

Also possibly a phablet 6 inch device with same specs.

Q3-Q4 2013 FHD OLED, MSM8974 Quad with integrated LTE, 2 gb RAM.

In addition to core hardware specs, there will be very exciting changes in the camera department.

Can you give us hint about the PSM for 2013 Xperia lines??

Is there any chance that next year we can see a Xperia Device powered by Vita OS??
since the PSM will be launch by Q3 this year, so we will have cross platform gaming and apps? (for the Vita OS )

Interesting, thanks for the info randomuser. If you're indicating 5"+ devices for Q2 2013, that means they have to be shown at CES. Getting closer and closer to my dream phone

Stedus: IIRC, randomuser hinted at Vita OS phones and tablets some pages ago coming "soon". When that is, is anyones guess. I really, REALLY do hope CES gives us a large look at what Sonys got coming down the pipeline for both Android and Vita. IFA will be a nice bone to chew on for now, but it's gonna be a long dryspell until CES I imagine afterwards


BTW, on a non-mobile related topic, I'm hoping we hear more about Crystal LED TVs at IFA... I don't suppose you have any info on this subject, do you randomuser?


EDIT.

BTW, glad to hear Sony will make a high end phone that's water resistant. I always did wonder why no one ever made a flagship phone that's water, drop and dust resistant. I know it'd probably add to the phones cost and maybe bulk, but if someone is dropping several hundred dollars + on a high end mobile, it's a great selling point for them to know that it won't smash to shit after 1 drop, or dropping it in the toilet.

Vita OS phones might be out by next year Q4 or in 2014. It's still not completely finalized yet. Vita OS is a backup prepared by Sony just to be safe in the phone business.

vivftp, you won't see anything NEW related to Crystal LED at IFA. You need to wait more for that. But there will be a new flagship Bravia and other really awesome Sony gadgets at the show. New 3D stuff as well

Also, who wants Sony to start the megapixel race again in 2013?
Those who say No, sorry but Sony isn't listening to you

Not a direct competitor really, but we will see a short answer to Nokia 808 pureview by Sony.

Ahh, yeah, that might be too far away for me to wait to buy a new mobile phone. If that is accurate, I'll likely get a 5"+ phone early next year. So long as it's got a top notch screen and toss in some Cybershot optics, I think I'll be happy enough.

As for the TVs, yeah the XBRHX950 will be coming. Don't know how much of an improvement it'll be over the HX929 though. I remember earlier in the year shortly after CES some websites were mentioning the possibility of seeing more CLED at IFA, which is why I was hoping to see it. Ah well, I hope it really won't be that much longer until we see CLED TVs hit the market. From what I understand the TVs are built sorta like lego with small CLED "chips". They've already demo'd a 55" 1080p prototype, which means they could use those exact same screen components and build a 110" 4K TV! I want a 100+" TV dag nabbit! I doubt we'll see CLED miniaturized down for mobile devices, but if they could somehow pull it off that would be a mighty nice thing I imagine.


EDIT.

Just saw your additional info. I don't mind them starting a megapixel race so long as the results are good. I suppose it'll all depend on the size/quality of the sensor they put in there and their software to process it. Given Sonys reputation for camera sensors and specifically mobile phone camera sensors, I figured they'd be the ones to give the Pureview a run for its money. Hopefully whatever phone it's attached to will be a nice high end one, rather than the relatively dismal specs that came with the Pureview.

I think we are going off topic so let's continue this over PM or we can discuss it in the Sony Non Mobile Discussion thread. I'll answer your question there.

EDIT:

Yes it will be on the Sony Xperia flagship.
LEt's call it Xperia S successor

PM sent, thanks!

As it's more on-topic, any news on the VAIO tablets? Based on info I'd read somewhere, it doesn't look like we'll see a VAIO tablet until next year as Microsoft has only a select group of companies releasing Windows tablets this year.

There will be VAIO Win8 tablets this year. On sale around October.

At least AFAIK. Unless there is some drastic change in plan or Microsoft has asked Sony to NOT sell its Win8 tablets that are ready, after spending so much cash on R&D.
