In the middle of last year, we told you there were rumours that Sony’s mobile division was shrinking, and that it would soon pull out of regions where it wasn’t excelling. Regions like South Africa. While that didn’t quite come to pass, the rumours made sense. Sony’s mobile market share has dwindled to the point of irrelevance, losing money for the Japanese tech giant year after year. Now, Sony’s officially confirmed that it’ll “defocus” its attention on the smartphone market, except in the few regions where it still has an impact.
