The news broke during a Sony and Telefonica joint event, where the Spanish carrier announced that it will offer the Xperia Z (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z-5204.php) Android flagship and the Xperia Tablet Z (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tablet_z_lte-5255.php). Telefonica, together with other Sony partner networks will also be involved in the development of a Firefox phone.
