Early this week’s, reports surfaced that Sony is open to selling its mobile unit (or possibly join up a joint venture) as the section is not making profit as expected. There is no deal in place as at press time but the company is open to ideas needed to resuscitate its ailing mobile and TV business.
Despite the company’s struggles in the mobile and TV unit, this won’t stop the Sony Xperia Z4 and it’s other variants from debuting. Last year we brought rumoured specs of the device but this week see the device get certified on the FCC in the US and certified by its Japanese equivalent – the Japanese communication ministry. It’s certification in Japan means the device would be available with NTT DoCoMo, SoftBank and KDDI.
