Sony Ericsson banks on Android

BEIJING - Sony Ericsson Corp has fought back from a period of unprofitability and is now looking to forge a unique position among Android phone manufacturers by capitalizing on the entertainment technologies of its parent Sony Corp, said the joint venture's president for China operations.

In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Magnus Ahlqvist said the company has restored its margins and returned to profit, thanks to its adoption of Android, the operating system for mobile phones developed by Google Inc.

Now the company is aiming to become the global leader in the Android phone market.
