Sony to Bring Cyber-Shot Back on Its Android Line, CS8

Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile is reportedly getting ready for the release of a new series of Android devices, Cyber-Shot, marking a separation from the already highly popular Xperia lineup.

Back in the days of Sony Ericsson, Cyber-Shot was the mark of handsets with appealing imaging capabilities, and Sony is now rumored to plan launching some more such devices, though with a twist. Cyber-Shot handsets were feature phones a few years back, yet they might become smartphones soon, a post on XinMin China suggests.

The first smartphone in the new series is said to be the Sony CS8 Cyber-Shot (shaped like C905, apparently), yet no specific info on the device has emerged so far. For what it’s worth, the launch of Android-based Cyber-Shot devices could help Sony regain some ground on the mobile phone market, though the move is nothing more than a rumor for the time being.
