Sony working on S3/iPhone 5 Rival

With the presence of various Sony smartphones on the market, it's not hard to understand why Sony would want to have a go at the best selling smartphones of the industry at present - the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5.

"In the near future we'll finish a flagship model, which will be able to compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S III," said Dennis van Schie, CVP, Head of Sales and Marketing for Sony Mobile Communications in conversation with Financial Times Deutschland. - Source

Sony has been in the smart phone industry for a while, and one does not have to go too far back to recall memorable cellphones such as the Walkman series. Currently, the Xperia series are holding their own (and honestly, are quite stunning to look at). Anyone who's seen the latest James Bond flick, Skyfall, will know that Sony has placed the Xperia series quite well throughout the movie.

A more interesting question would be, what is the near future? If Sony are aiming for the first quarter of 2013, then it's possible that they will probably be competing with the Galaxy S4 pretty soon, instead of the S3. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see what Son comes up with.
