Sony Corp. plans to make its mobile-device business profitable next fiscal year as it boosts shipments of smartphones, the head of the unit said.

The maker of Xperia handsets and tablets plans to sell more than 34 million smartphones in the year beginning April 1, Kunimasa Suzuki, chief executive officer of the unit, told reporters in Tokyo today, without giving a more specific figure. The company said last month it’s targeting 34 million shipments this fiscal year.
