Sony Xperia Z4v Android Phone Coming Exclusively to Verizon

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I hate exclusivity with companies, not just phones but everything really. I’m on AT&T and if I want the new Sony phone I have to switch to Verizon, how is that fair? It seems like a decent phone especially the fact that it works with the PS4, yes you can play games on the phone with the PS4 controller. I get why they do it, but ultimately things should be about your customers, and being only on Verizon is not about customers at all, it’s about money that Verizon gave Sony and money that Verizon could possibly make from the deal. Wouldn’t a phone like this be better if it was on all carriers? Especially for Sony and the PlayStation? Ok, rant over… The Sony Xperia Z4v is the latest flagship Android phone and it’s got tons of features that anyone, especially a gamer would love, (too bad it’s only for gamers who are Verizon customers). Whatever, PR is below for you…
