Tl; DR
- Sony may have outsourced the manufacture of its flagship phones.
- The company has removed the term “smartphones” from the list of products on its websites focused on manufacturing in Thailand and China.
- The Xperia 1 VII would be the first of its premium phones to be made by a third party.
Over the years, Sony has moved away from the smartphones market more and more. The company is currently based on third -party manufacturers to make its mid -range offers. Although it subcontracts the manufacture of its mid-range phones, Sony continued to work on the high-end Xperia line. But it seems that Sony may have decided that he is no longer interested in making his premium phones either.
According to the report of Digest smartphoneSony has stopped making its own Xperia phones. The company has now deleted the term “smartphones” from its list of devices on its websites focused on manufacturing in Thailand and China.
This does not necessarily mean that the Xperia is dead, just that Sony will no longer be the company that produces them. As with its mid -range phones, Sony seems to have given the keys to a third -party manufacturer. According to statements, we had our first taste with the recently published Xperia 1 VII. The Xperia 1 VII is said to be the first of Sony’s premium phones to be manufactured by another company.
