Sony is not leaving the smartphone market and will continue to produce them for at least several more years

Sony has recently released few new smartphones, and even those don’t use much

demand among users. Sales are falling, so a logical question arises: is the company going to leave the smartphone market altogether, following LG and HTC?

What to expect

Interesting, but the answer to this question was not given by Sony.and Qualcomm. The chip maker announced in a new press release that it is expanding its collaboration with Sony to Snapdragon platforms that will power the Japanese company's future smartphones. This is a "multi-year" deal and applies to premium, high-end, and mid-range devices.

This means that Sony will continue to producesmartphones for at least the next few years. But the company seems to be continuing its existing lines as they are, that is, without budget devices.

“Xperia 1 V, Sony's latest flagship smartphonebased on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, was very well received by customers. We look forward to continuing our work with Qualcomm Technologies to deliver premium and compelling experiences for future Snapdragon-powered smartphones. We always listen to our customers to develop cutting-edge technologies that meet and exceed their expectations, and we believe that Qualcomm Technologies will help us continue to drive the industry forward,” said Tsutomu Hamaguchi, head of Sony's mobile business unit. .
