    Sony is no longer an electronics company. Sony's last and only closely held core electronics business is image sensors, and it's mostly because Apple uses them in the iPhone.

    But it's too little, too late: the customers Sony needs have been buying Samsung products for too long now.

                      Why did Sony make the 20.7 MP camera with the same aperture at f1/2.3 in the Z4?
                      That is why Sony is failing in the camera department.
                      Sony should uses a wider aperture like LG G4 f1/1.8, galaxy s6 f1/1.9, or at least f1/2.0. Come on Sony.

                              Sony should make top phones with no glass and better camera like e.g new Sony Z X compact shouldnt be glass. And much better back cover + camera must be much closr to 808, 1020, S6 etc.

Of all the phones I used, Sony have the best battery life and battery lifespan. The rest just dies easily. If you were to say Sony phones die faster, why did my z ultra still rocking solid while it's 1.4 years old? My Z which is 2 years old already still even rocking solid! So many utter bs there my friend.

                                    I love Sony brand, i want a phone with sony brand. Nokia still the best for me btw. In my country japan brand is cooler than korea.
                                    I have no idea why Sony phone suck. I was Xperia M user, camera is bad. Only 2 weeks my phone suddenly death. And its service center is a nightmare.

                                    I hope Sony make good quality n innovative products n Survive..

                                        Sony Ericsson were good up until Nokia crushed them with the Nokia Nseries and Eseries, the N95, N82 and E90 were NEVER matched by them, they had the failure K850 Cyber-shot and average P1i and W960.

                                        In the late days of Symbian, Samsung surpassed both SE and Nokia with the i8910 OmniaHD, then Android arrived and from there on Samsung had the best tech, Sony/SE remained an average player, in 2011 they had nothing but mid range devices, while the Samsung Galaxy S2 had the best CPU, the most powerful GPU, the most advanced display and a much more feature packed interface.

                                        As for battery, Sony are good but not the best, even with build quality, I have owned Nokias, Samsungs, Sonys and Apple devices, all have had one or two issues here and there. Sony's have a tendency to die as in the MB gives up at some point, my Xperia X10 had that and recently a colleagues Xperia Z1 did exactly the same.
