In
2014, Sony decided to exit the PC business and sold the Vaio unit to
investment fund Japan Industrial Partners. Soon there were reports about
Vaio to enter the mobile market and introduce their first-ever
smartphone as early as 12 March.
After
moving away from Sony, the company is out with its first Android
smartphone called Vaio Phone (VA 10J). For now, the smartphone will be
available only in Japan from March 20. It will cost $US420 (approx Rs
26,400) without a contract.
In
terms of specs, the Vaio phone sports a 5-inch HD display with a
resolution of 720 X 1280 pixels. It comes powered by a 1.2GHz processor
with 2GB RAM. It also gets 16GB onboard storage and runs Android 5.0
out-of-the-box.
It
will have a 13MP rear camera along with a 5MP front facing camera. The
device is said to be single-SIM and comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity options.
Interestingly,
it almost resembles the Panasonic’s Eluga U2 launched in Taiwan, and
also carries the same specs. There is no word when it will reach regions
outside Japan.
