Sony may launch a Windows Phone device in mid 2014: Report
World’s biggest electronic company Sony might launch a Windows Phone device in mid 2014, according to a report.
The information has revealed that
Microsoft is in talks with Sony for launching a smartphone based on
Windows Phone OS. The report claims that Sony might launch a Windows
Phone device in mid-2014 as part of its Vaio line-up, under which the
company has traditionally launched Windows-based notebooks, desktops and
media centres. The report also shows that the Redmond giant is also in
talks with Chinese handset maker ZTE for renewing its interest in
Windows Phone platform. However, the report clearly mentions that
Microsoft’s talks with both Sony and ZTE are yet to reach any
conclusion.
It’s worth pointing out that Nokia
dominates the Windows Phone platform with 90 percent market share, with
its closest competitor, HTC at 7 percent share, while Samsung and Huawei
have 1.8 and 1.3 percent market share each, respectively. A recent
statistics report by AdDuplex revealed that Nokia’s strategy of pushing
Lumia smartphones in various price segments has been helping the company
in taking the lead in terms of global Windows Phone market share.
