It was a matter of time, with the acquisition of Sharp, an obscene amount of money, Foxconn had everything to get full on the business of manufacturing of smart phones, and now comes a new report which claims that the jump is near.
DigiTimes boys were responsible for revealing the new project of Foxconn, where would be working in Japan, finalizing the details for the development and launch of its own line of smartphones, focused on middle and low range as home:
It is uncertain which brand will use Foxconn to commercialize their smartphones in the Japanese market, but it is very likely that these devices are sold under the brand name of Sharp.
It is what the report brief, that sounds sensible. Sharp is a well positioned brand in that country, and his specialty in the development of screens for smartphones would be the only missing element in the industrial network of Foxconn to manufacture a complete terminal without relying on external almost.
States that the first Smartphone developed completely by Foxconn would come to market over the first quarter of 2017, so it would be only a matter of time before confirming everything.
It is not the first time Foxxconn venturing in this type of projects, but the rumor that now come fully to compete against its own customers is stronger than ever.
