I love it when they say stronger content intergration, when currently, music unlimited and playstation mobile only exists in a few markets. I still can not see how it can compete with itunes store without anything ground breaking.
And why the hack do they need a new design for every continent? Is it because of the design patent, that even sony thinks that TX looks similar to ip for the americans?

I think they realise that as a % of mobile device users, fewer Western market consumers use spare batteries (and so don't mind fixed batteries) compared to Asian markets where many consumers carry spare batteries.
Example in point, none of my friends in the UK have bought a spare battery for their handsets since the '90s, whereas all of the Chinese people I know (if they don't use an iPhone) carry a spare battery.
A removable battery rates much higher on the checklist when looking for a new phone in China and I dare say India and other Asian countries.
Also, Sony aren't the only manufacturers who make handsets for specific markets, HTC have a ONE V variant for China and Samsung have dual touchscreen flips phones in China to name just a few. Samsung even supply their dual-screen flip androids with two batteries and a battery charger caddy.
When it comes to the US market, there's a similar story except instead of dual-sims and removable batteries, they want LTE bands which are incompatible with the rest of the world. Carriers have more power there too so carrier exclusive carrier models are necessary. And, again, they aren't the only ones who make models specific to the US market.
You can't blame Sony for wanting to tailor a handset to be more suitable to a region. It's a strategy. One that some use and others don't. It has it's pros and cons like anything else.

I really want them to make lot noise in camera department and kick every phones ass.
I hate it that they make the best sensor but they don't optimize it well
In terms of CPU/GPU? Yeah, I think the GS4 will likely be better. In terms of everything else? I'm finding it hard to think of how Samsung can top what we're seeing for Yuga. Even if they somehow manage to make a non-pentile 1080p OLED display, I'm willing to bet Yugas display will crush it for overall performance. Design and build will be absolute top notch and feel very premium due to the dragontrail glass on both sides. The water and dust resistance will be amazing, and the durability due to dragontrail glass could mean the phone will be drop-proof to some degree. The camera will use the new Exmor RS sensor which should be a big improvement over previous Sony mobile sensors. Apparently the software is impressive since supposedly Google employees have stated they have not seen anything better to date.
... so yeah, while the GS4 might be more powerful than Yuga, Samsung will have to do a LOT in every other area to catch up to what we're already seeing from Sonys new flagship.
If Sony can add an IR transmitter, wireless charging and a hugearse battery, then I'll be overjoyed

You know I wonder how badly Sony wished that Yuga could have been the Bond phone instead of the Xperia TL. Yuga is going to be Sonys first leading class phone where it's pretty much ahead of any and all other phones on the market from a tech standpoint... assuming of course they launch it within a reasonable timeframe. Even still, I can't wait until next quarter to find out how well the mobile sales are doing.

Yep, I agree. In terms of CPU I think Samsung will always win in this race. But in terms of style, oh well just take a look at Samsung website. It says everything about their style and design philosophy. One word: Ewww

They need to integrate music unlimited and video unlimited into one package first of all - it's too easy to take one without the other.
They need tablets at different price points.

I hope they make their stores global as soon as possible. Even xbox music which just started recently, is expanding more quickly than them

Little off topic, but does somebody know the name of this concept by Ericsson? I even searched for days on google to find this single picture.

Do you know the specs for GS4? Or are you just guessing?
Nobody knows for sure but sony should be worried about S4 you know how much name samsung has made with galaxy series even though its a shit phone and not to forget how biased these tech writers are its either apple/samsung/HTC.
