Kinda a weird announcement with 0 content.. anyone have any idea what this could mean?

Seems to basically just say that they're just building processors for Sony phones, no more, no less.

It's not really clear what the significance of it is, since they were already using Qualcomm processors on their newer smartphones, unless they basically just did an exclusivity agreement to say that they're not going to use any other processor for any of their phones for the next few years.
