Sony may give up on its mobile phone business. That's not to say it'll stop making smartphones but it is a possibility.

“The company's done betting that its phones will find a home in everyone's pockets.
What a shock, right?
Seriously, though, Sony's been trying to downplay its mobile ambitions for a while now. It's already been a few months since Sony announced it would dramatically dial down the number of smartphone models it makes, after all. Oh, and this year is the first in recent memory that the company has decided not to put on a formal MWC press conference. We're still expecting the company to show off something, but the message is clear: This whole mobile space isn't really its thing anymore. And frankly, who could blame it? The Sony we know now is lighter and livelier than it's been in years, all thanks to a drastic weight-loss scheme that involved giving up on lackluster product lines.”
