I've been coming across countless articles discussing the Sony Xperia 1 V for months now. However, when I finally decided to purchase one, I encountered great difficulty in finding the phone. It seems that Sony should improve their stock availability by ensuring phones are ready to purchase once they are announced. Unfortunately, by the time the Xperia 1 V becomes available, several competitors have already released superior phones.
Sony has struck a new deal with Qualcomm for the supply of its Snapdragon chips for future Sony Xperia smartphones. The deal is indicative that Sony Xperia phones will continue to made into the foreseeable future.
