History

The company was formed as NEC Casio Mobile Communications as a result of a merger between the mobile handset division of NEC and the former joint venture between Casio and Hitachi, Casio Hitachi Mobile Communications, established 1 April 2004.[3]

After seeing declining shares in domestic market, NEC Casio announced its withdrawal from smartphone manufacturing business in July 2013.[4] Then in December 2013, Casio and Hitachi sold their stake in the company to NEC, making it a fully owned subsidiary of NEC.[5] The company renamed to NEC Mobile Communications in October 2014.[6]

In December 2015, NEC announced that it will acquire all mobile phone business from NEC Mobile Communications at March 2016.[7] The company was dissolved shortly after.[8]
