Welcome to another episode of “Japan gets all the fun phones.” We saw the Lumia 950 duo and it had great cameras and such, but the design was pretty plain. A number of makers – including Vaio! – showed off phones running Windows 10 Mobile at an even held by Microsoft Japan.

Note that this was mostly a showcase of prototypes, not production-ready phones. And Vaio, Sony’s former PC division, only showed off a non-working dummy, but it’s still interesting to see it consider entering the smartphone market while its former parent considers leaving.
