Sony aims to produce 50 million smartphones

In the gloomy context of the entire group, Sony Mobile smartphone production is making steady progress with the ambition to achieve success beyond expectations.

In the gloomy context of the entire corporation, Sony Mobile is making solid steps to return to success.

Sony started the fiscal year from March 2013 - March 2014 with the goal of reaching 46 million smartphones. By the end of the last fiscal year, Sony's actual smartphone numbers were only 39.1 million units.

However, despite a shortage of nearly 7 million smartphones compared to the initial output forecast, Sony has shown a strong acceleration in the high-end and mid-range smartphone market. As a result, even though the entire Sony conglomerate was in trouble, Sony Mobile's mobile division almost escaped from the loss and earned some profits.

This year, Sony Mobile plans to ship a total of 50 million smartphones. The leaked information indicates that Sony has hired 3 Taiwanese manufacturers to process a total of 25 million units (about half of the total yearly output) . Of the three Taiwanese companies mentioned above, Arima Communications will not only process but also design and produce 10-12 million 3G and 4G smartphones directly.
