Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai said that Sony Mobile Communications still has a lot of challenges ahead of it in terms of breaking into the U.S. market, but he said that the company's flagship Xperia Z smartphone will be launched by a U.S. carrier shortly.

Sony wants its Sony Mobile Communication unit to grow into the world's third largest smartphone maker behind Samsung Electronics and Apple, according to a senior executive. The comments indicate Sony is one of a large and growing number of manufacturers looking to grab share behind the industry's leaders.
Sony Mobile Communications may abandon the low-end smartphone market and focus primarily on high-end devices as it seeks to reestablish its mobile brand.
