Sony Mobile had research and development facilities in Lund, Sweden; Beijing, China; Tokyo, Japan; and San Francisco, United States.[6] At its peak in 2007, Sony Ericsson, Sony Mobile's predecessor, held a 9 percent global mobile phone market share[7] making it the fourth largest vendor at the time.[8] In 2017, Sony Mobile held less than 1% global market share[9] but 4.8% in Europe[10] and 16.3% in Japan.[11][12]

Swedish company Ericsson had been making mobile cell phones since the 1980s, their first very handheld device being the Hotline Pocket introduced in 1987.[13] In the United States, Ericsson partnered with General Electric in the early nineties as Ericsson Mobile Communications (ECS), primarily to establish a US presence and brand recognition. General Electric eventually left the joint venture.

Ericsson, which had been in the mobile phone market for decades, and was the world's third largest cellular telephone handset maker at the time behind Nokia and Motorola, was struggling with huge losses and decreasing market share.[17] This was partly due to this fire as well as its inability to produce cheaper phones[18] or fashionably-designed phones like Nokia managed to do.[19] Speculation began about a possible sale by Ericsson of its mobile phone division, but the company's president, Kurt Hellström, said it had no plans to do so. Hellström said, "Mobile phones are really a core business for Ericsson. We wouldn't be as successful (in networks) if we didn't have phones".[20]

Sony was a marginal player in the worldwide mobile phone market with a share of less than 1 percent in 2000. By August 2001, the two companies had finalised the terms of the merger announced in April. Ericsson contributed a majority of the Ericsson Mobile Communications company, excluding a minor part spun off as Ericsson Mobile Platforms. Sony contributed its entire handset division. The company was to have an initial workforce of 3,500 employees.[21]

In 2005, Sony Ericsson introduced the K750i with a 2 megapixel camera, as well as its platform mate, the W800i, the first of the Walkman phones capable of 30 hours of music playback. Later in October 2005, Sony Ericsson presented the first mobile phone based on UIQ 3, the P990.

In 2007, the company's first 5-Megapixel camera phone, the Sony Ericsson K850i, was announced followed in 2008 by the C905, the world's first 8.1-Megapixel camera phone.[24] At Mobile World Congress 2009, Sony Ericsson unveiled the first 12-Megapixel camera phone, named Satio.

On January 2, 2009, Sony Ericsson announced in Stockholm that it would have some of its mobile phones made in India, and that its two outsourcing partners, Flextronics and Foxconn would manufacture ten million mobile phones per year by 2009. CEO Miles Flint announced at a press conference held with India's communications minister Dayanidhi Maran in Chennai that India was one of the fastest growing markets in the world and a priority market for Sony Ericsson with 105 million users of GSM mobile telephones.[25]

On July 2, 2012, Sony announced it was buying Gaikai, a cloud service to support its expansion into the cloud gaming realm. Sony paid a reported $380 million to acquire Gaikai.[47] The Sony Ericsson Liquid Energy Logo, which was the hallmark logo used on Sony Mobile products up until the 2012 series of phones, was replaced with a new power button designed as the new signature hallmark to easily identify a Sony phone and this debuted with the 2013 series of Xperia mobile phones. The last phones to feature the Liquid Energy logo were the Sony Xperia T and Sony Xperia TX, and the first phones without featuring it were the Sony Xperia J and Sony Xperia V. Both were unveiled at the IFA 2012. At the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show the Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia ZL were announced,[48][49] followed by the Sony Xperia Z1, unveiled during a press conference in IFA 2013, the Sony Xperia Z2 during the 2014 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and the Sony Xperia Z3 in IFA 2014.

Sony Mobile has been the only major smartphone OEM that has given support to developing communities of smaller, hacker-focused mobile operating systems during this time.[55] In 2013 Sony released an experimental Firefox OS ROM for the Sony Xperia E device.[56] In 2017 Sony got Sailfish OS into its Open Devices program.[57] As a result, the Sailfish software has been officially ported to many Xperia devices.[58]

In 2011, Sony Ericsson announced the first PlayStation Certified phone, the Xperia Play which meant that it had access to PlayStation Mobile games. The previously released Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Xperia acro became the next PlayStation Certified devices followed by the Sony Xperia S, Xperia ion and other Sony Tablets.

On Friday, Sony released its earnings report and announced a less-than-expected net loss of $1.22 billion for the second quarter of the year. For the past three-months, Sony recorded an operating loss of $770 million. But some divisions in Sony did well over the quarter. Sales of video games increased 83 percent over the quarter and recorded a $226.3 million operating profit, and sale's of Sony's image sensor, used in the Apple iPhone, rose over the quarter. But Sony's mobile division continues to drag down the entire company. If it were not for a $15.8 billion write-down of its mobile business, Sony said it would have had a better quarter.

Sony's mobile business continues to struggle to catch on around the world. Sales declined in Western Europe, one of Sony's biggest markets, and the company remains not competitive in other markets around the world. A year ago, Sony announced that the mobile business would be a cornerstone of the company's turnaround, but on Friday, Sony said its mobile business had a $15.4 billion operation loss. Though, the loss was largely due to the write-down.

Sony announced Friday it would scale back its smart phone business in China. The company will no longer sell low-end handsets in the country because it cannot compete with the low-priced domestic companies.

On Friday, Sony named Hiroki Totoki as head of its mobile division unit. It's believed that Mr. Totoki can help make Sony's smart phones popular in the US market, which could turn the company's fortune. It's expected that Totoki will get reluctant US mobile carriers to begin selling Sony's phone.

These will likely include future mobile phones developed by Sony in conjunction with partner Eriksson. The recently released W800i Walkman phone has proved a hit, proving more popular with US consumers than fellow music phones the Motorola E1 ROKR and the Samsung A970 according to a recent survey by Strategy Analytics.

Sony Ericsson is a top global industry player with sales of over100 million phones in 2007. Diversity is one of the core strengthsof the company, with operations in over 80 countries includingmanufacturing in China and R&D sites in China, Europe, India,Japan and North America. Sony Ericsson was established as a 50:50joint venture by Sony and Ericsson in October 2001, with globalcorporate functions located in London.

The speculation about Sony's decisions for the next fiscal year was silenced today by a news conference in which SCE president Ken Kutaragi spoke to reporters about the company's planned moves into the arcade market with Sega and Namco, and the i-mode deal with NTT DoCoMo. The big news was the arcade collaboration. Sony will be working with Sega and Namco, two of the world's biggest arcade powerhouses to develop an advanced version of the PlayStation 2's hardware for use in centres. Changes to the technology will include high-resolution monitors, as well as a high-speed fibre optic network that will connect multiple gaming centres across the country by video and in mulitplayer software. The move will likely be more successful than the recent residential trials of ~3Mbit variable fibre optic connections, which we spoke about in an editorial last week. Limited tests of the arcade service are expected to go live this year, with a fullscale nationwide service as early as 2002. The upgrades to the PS2 architecture may take into account the recent graphics chipset updates that Sony have been hammering on about to various e-news oracles, but Mr. Kutaragi mentioned nothing of the sort. Of course, this sort of upgrade could well be made part of a second generation of these machines for mass-production in a similar manner to Sega's old AM1/2/3 upgrades. According to Yahoo, the only concern on analysts lips at the time was of profit - specifically how quickly the company was likely to turn one from the new structure, but the company declined to release information on the costs of the programme so early on. Sony's deal with NTT DoCoMo over its i-mode mobile phones was also discussed. There has been plenty of interest in this of late, what with similar announcements involving NTT's overseas partners and of course mobile phone behemoth Vodafone. Very soon now, Sony will launch a cable to connect PSOne consoles to the i-mode mobile on March 29th, retailing for about $30, as well as new versions of PlayStation software with i-mode support. I-mode mobile phones will now be able to display data on PSOne TV screens, and according to NTT yesterday, Sega arcade machines as well. The various announcements have prompted a slight improvement in Sega's shares, and a modest drop-off in Sony's, presumably because of the non-disclosure of details about the company's expenses in the arcade area. Nonetheless, a lot of companies will come off nicely at the end of the day. Related Feature - Vodafone sign with Sony 2b1af7f3a8
