“At IFA we announced three Z3 series products, the full sized smartphone, the Compact and the Compact Tablet. These are doing really well in the market and there is still quite a considerable amount of interest in those particular products and since we’ve announced them, we’ve updated a number of features. We’ve introduced Remote Play, there are more camera themes and there are more camera apps,” he added.
Pierre Perron, Vice President Sony Mobile Western Europe, has revealed that the company wouldn’t release devices just for the sake of it but would focus on bringing uniqueness to the brand.
