Sony CEO Vows 'Major Strides' on Innovation

Sony CEO Kaz Hirai, hosting his company’s IFA news conference Wednesday in Berlin, promised the company's mantra will be to “make major strides” in innovation to create products that will touch consumers in a “deeper and even more profound way” than in the past. Sony introduced its new Xperia Z5 smartphones in a “compact” 4.6-inch screen size and a 5.5-inch step-up “premium” version that Sony is billing as the world’s first 4K smartphone. Both versions feature a variety of camera innovations, Hirai said.
