The first we heard about this was a little more than a week ago, that SONY will launch a new smartphone factory.
Now, we find out that it's been producing products since September.
Very interesting news... stay tuned.
Sony to open Factory in Thailand

BANGKOK: Japan's Sony Corp aims to make 600,000 to 700,000 premium smartphones in the first year at its new wholly-owned plant in Thailand which began production in September, a spokesman said.
The start up of its first overseas mobile phone plant in two decades is part of Sony's strategy to turn around its loss-making mobile phone business by prioritising profits over volume and shifting its focus to high-end smartphones.
Teeradej Pruksawananon, a spokesman for Sony in Thailand, said the firm began small scale production of its premium smartphone models, including the Xperia Z3, two months ago and started shipping the phones globally from October.
"Sony finds it easier to implement cutting-edge technologies at its own plant to produce such phones," said a Sony spokeswoman in Japan.
Sony currently produces most of its smartphones at its joint venture in China.
