To introduce Xperia smartphones, Sony Mobile Communications has launched one of its largest brand and marketing campaigns in India called ‘Made of Imagination’. According to the company -Xperia smartphones are a cornerstone of Sony’s entertainment experience and we wanted to create a campaign that is true to Sony, one that is unique, memorable and sparks consumers’ curiosity and imagination. The Made of Imagination campaign demonstrates that Xperia smartphones are made of more than microprocessors and memory chips – they are designed to let consumers use their creativity and imagination to drive connected experiences that interest and excite them.

Xperia S is good feature smartphone but we feel that it is highly priced and will face tough competition from Samsung Galaxy II and upgraded version of Samsung Galaxy, which is round the corner. Only the coming time will tell, how much market share can be captured by Sony in India for its new handsets.
