In the fall of 2001, two of the world’s leading consumer electronics manufacturers, Sony and Ericsson joined hands to form Sony Ericsson- the brand that would lend its name to the mobile phones they create together.
With Sony’s expertise in music and camera technology and Ericsson’s weight in cell-phone manufacturing, the joint-venture continues to make and break technological barriers in the feature phone market. Notable Sony-Ericsson product lines include Walkman and Cyber-shot phones.
