Nobody is interested on a phone running PS4 OS. Don't get me wrong, it's great for the console. But it doesn't have 5% of the functionality Android and iOS does. It has dozens of apps, while the competitors are close to a million. MS, with all their mobile OS expertise, a way more complete OS, way more money and resources, failed massively to beat Android a few years ago. Why would Sony succeed against an Android that is a few years more mature than the one that crushed MS?
It would be an insane failure that would cost tons of cash. It would fail as hard as webOS and BB10. Well, probably way harder than those. It would be beyond embarrassing. Nobody would buy a smartphone that only does extremely basic stuff when you have products as good as a Galaxy S8 or iPhone X to choose.
Nintendo didn't launched a phone, they launched a hybrid device, a portable home console. It's not trying to fight Android or iOS here. Anyway, I don't think Sony has business here. The Vita bombed hard. I don't think pushing for another mobile device will help them. They are better off just trying to make PSVR cheaper and profit by selling one extra device for PS4 owners. That at least is possible.
