2013 Will See An iPhone 5 Rival Produced By Sony


This year we have seem some amazing improvements made to smartphones and we have also seen some manufacturers fall behind the front runners in the market . Those that are at the top are Apple and Samsung who have given us the popular iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3 devices. We have not heard much from Sony this year however it has been said by the company executives that there will be an exciting release in 2013.

Dennis Van Schie who is the Chief of Mobile Sales for the company recently spoke to the Financial Times Deutschland and said “We will create in the near future a flagship model that can compete with Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy S III”. This is the first indication that we have seen to indicate a major new device from the company. Tech Crunch recently reported that the new model is expected to be shown at MWC and CES 2013 in early 2013. The top phone currently in their range is the Xperia T which is a great premium device that sports a powerful 1.5Ghz dual core processor and a great 4.6 inch 720P screen. The iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 may be in trouble if the company are aiming to better an already impressive phone.

Mr Van Schie was also questioned by Financial Times Deutschland regarding Sony producing a Windows 8 device. There have been many companies including Samsung and HTC that have been producing devices that will run on this platform. Sony have not dismissed this idea. Mr Van Schie said that “We have a good relationship with Microsoft and the development of Windows Phone are watching closely. If it succeeds, we will not be caught off guard”. As Sony have mentioned the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 when talking about their latest premium range device we expect it to a special phone and it sounds like we do not have long to wait for it to hit the shelves. 

The mobile phone market is currently dominated by Apple and Samsung and their impressive devices the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3. We expect Sony’s latest release to be impressive as it needs to compete with these phones.
