Sony Xperia Z1 with 20MP camera!
Sony's Chief Executive Kazuo Hirai told a news conference in Berlin, where Europe's largest consumer electronics trade show will open its doors this week, the Sony Xperia Z1 will be available in September.
"The Xperia Z1 embodies everything Sony has to offer," said Hirai, who is under pressure from US hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb to split up the company to revive its electronics business.
The new waterproof smartphone will come with a 5-inch display and have a 20.7 megapixel rear-facing camera.
The company did not give a retail price nor say which carriers would offer the phone.
Hirai in 2012 identified mobile products, gaming and digital imaging as the core of a rebound in consumer electronics after more than a decade of decline for the pioneer of personal music players and compact discs. It had a record loss of $5.74 billion in the 2011/12 fiscal year.
Of those three priorities, mobile has since emerged as the best near-term hope for Sony although it has a long way to go.
According to research firm Gartner Sony didn't place among the top five smartphones makers in the second quarter of this year. Overall Sony was the ninth-biggest mobile handset maker with a 2.2 percent market share, up from 1.7 percent in the previous year.
