Sony Mobile was started in the year 2001. This was a coming together of two companies, SONY and ERICSSON. Initially, the two companies developed feature phones together until 2012.
In 2012, Sony bought shares from Ericsson and therefore fully owned the franchise. They dropped the latter name.
“Sony mobile also has a Research & Development facility in Kenya.”
