Sony wants gamers to get hooked on the Sony Xperia Z4v. The variant of the Xperia Z4 is designed for gamers because it will be able to stream and remotely Playstation 4 games, according to CNET.

The Xperia Z4v is hoping to be a device that gets Sony noticed in the smartphone market in the U.S. The Xperia Z4v will be a Verizon-exclusive smartphone.

Sony had a successful presentation at the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) Monday, introducing its upcoming video games and plans. Just a day later, the Xperia Z4v was introduced. Sony will have the smartphone on display on its booth at E3.

Any excitement to this new smartphone would help Sony. Sony has continued to fall far behind its rivals in the smartphone market in terms of awareness.

"Most US consumers either don't know or don't care that Sony makes phones," said Avi Greengart, an analyst that covers consumer electronics for Current Analysis.

Some predicted that Sony might even drop its mobile phone business, due to its failure to succeed in the market.

Sony's CEO Kaz Hirai confirmed that his company is still committed to making phones at the Mobile World Congress in March.

"Sony Mobile is here to play and here to stay," said Ravi Nookala, president of Sony's U.S. mobile unit.

The Xperia Z4v is an impressive phone that could help more consumers become aware of Sony. It will feature a sharp display and include an advanced 20.7 megapixel camera and a waterproof body. According to Engadget, the Xperia Z4v will use the Snapdragon 810 processor and include 3 GB of RAM.

The Xperia Z4v is "hyper targeted" toward gamers, especially those who play Playstation, according to Don Mesa, senior director for marketing for Sony Mobile. Mesa has previously worked on the marketing team for Playstation and helped promote games like "God of War."

Mesa said that Sony will talk to Playstation gamers on the benefits of the Xperia Z4v.
