During the recent investor day of Sony in Tokyo, Japan, the Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation made it known to the public that their smartphone business will defocus in the United States, as well as in India, China and Brazil.

The purpose of Sony Corporation behind the planned business contraction is to bring down the significant operating loss that Sony's smartphones division is experiencing in these countries, based on the report of Xperia Blog.

In Sony's presentation, the company became aware of the global average annual growth of the smartphone market has dropped to 1.4 percent, due to the slowdown being experienced in emerging markets. The growth in India, Brazil, Indonesia and China - which is 45 percent of the volume market, has decreased to only 0.3 percent, according to Tech Times.

In that, Sony will instead cause their smartphone business to be directed at markets in East Asia, which includes Japan, Europe and the Middle East. Sony will also maintain the company's status in Latin America as well as the other regions in Southeast Asia.

It's not surprising that Sony sees no real future for its mobile business at any kind of large scale in the United States, as the Android phones of the company have unsuccessfully attracted U.S. carrier partners.

But, even if Sony unleashed the Android phones in the face of this planned spin-down, it probably doesn't mean there won't ever be another Sony "Xperia" device released in the United States. As the company will venture on their phones which are income generating, Android Police reported.

However, at this point, Sony failed to produce smartphones into a region that values phones like Apple's "iPhone 6S," Samsung "Galaxy S7," and even the Chinese startup company's "OnePlus 3" much more - and based on Sony's investor day, the company seemed to finally get that message, according to Digital Trends.
