Ericsson CEO: We will not sell Sony Ericsson shares

Beijing time September 21 afternoon news, according to foreign media reports, Ericsson CEO Vestberg (Hans Vestberg) said in Monday that the company will continue to hold a joint venture with Sony mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson (hereinafter referred to as "Sony Ericsson") shares.　　He also noted that Sony Ericsson had made progress in reversing the dilemma. "We are committed to supporting Sony Ericsson," Vestberg said in a media interview.　　He said he would not consider selling Ericsson's 50% per cent stake in Sony Ericsson, but said Sony Ericsson had more work to do in the future. There have been rumours that Sony might consider acquiring a stake in Ericsson in Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson's market share and revenue fell sharply in recent years, until two quarters ago, only to turn a profit.　　Sony Ericsson, like other traditional handset makers, has also been slow to grow in the fast-growing smartphone market, and has been overtaken by vendors such as Apple and rim. After more than a year of losses and a 40% drop in sales, Sony Ericsson has shifted its focus to high-end areas using Google's Android operating system.　　But the company is just one of many handset makers who will want to be on Android, and Motorola and Samsung have adopted a similar strategy. But Vestberg said he was happy with Sony Ericsson's current Android smartphone, which he himself used to be the Xperia X10 Mini Pro produced by Sony Ericsson.　　Whether for personal or professional tasks, the product is adequate. Vestberg said: "This is a very challenging industry, but I think we did a good job, and launched a series of excellent product portfolio." But he added that the business revival was not over.
