Smartphones Provide Glimmer of Hope for Sony

Sony said its operating revenue fell 9% in constant currencies in the quarter ending September 30 to 1.776 trillion Japanese yen (18.1 billion US dollars), as sales declined in most of its units. However, Sony said: "In mobile, sales continued to expand as smartphones such as the “Xperia Z”, which has been well received since its launch in February, ranked in the top three in approximately 20 countries by revenue." source: Sony presentation
