      it's been like that since lost decade, now they called it the lost 30 years, in last 30 years the nation GDP has been stagnated, so it's not really a surprised or shocking news in japan that their tech giants collapsing, since the financial crisis in 2010 it's been well documented in japan,that all the flagship stores from each tech companies,either closed for good or have 0 visitor. so the company either have to close/sold their under performance divisions to survive or selling the whole company in order to keep the brand name alive or they just closed everything down, having their name and reputation still intact in memories. and pretty much all those japanese tech companies has experiencing those, most that still survived already out from consumer market, solely focusing on industry, or selling some of their divisions, some already completely out from manufacturing business, shifted to financial services, especially in smaller tech markets, lesser known in mainstream but in enthusiasts they pretty much legendary brand

        and toshiba is still own by japanese, their consumer product division has been long gone, since they have to closed/sold all of them following their financial problem with accounting and the nuclear reactor scandal in mid/late 2000s, i think the only consumer division they keeping is their nand memory business since they invented it and it's still pretty much making money for toshiba, now a days they selling it under the brand name kioxia in consumer market, if you mean the laptop,yeah they sold it to sharp which owned by foxconn, the dynabook. but the toshiba company itself is still a japanese owned

        currently they mainly focus on industry part of their business and their financial still not looking good hence they proposed to selling it,and the japanese government swoop in and make stipulation it has to be owned by japanese company. toshiba is the most legendary company in japan,since the founder made the steam engine for japan, the first steam engine designed and manufactured in japan,you know made in japan, which turned japan to industrial nation,he also made other stuff like telegraph,clock but his steam engine ultimately the one who driven japan toward industrial

          These Japanese brands are selling their phones with flagship price but specs of mid-range. No wonder Chinese phones and Samsung killed them outside Japan.

          I love Xperia since they still have Sony cameras. But sharp? Aside from their legendary brand , their phones are mid ranger for price of flagship. It's funny since Sharp has the same parent company as hisense and Toshiba

            Some Japanese brands are in big trouble. Panasonic is on the verge to disappear as well. I wish Japan good luck, I wish they can become much stronger.

              i have japanese friend who using iphone and mac, nothing weird about it until you learn that his father work with NEC, he into manga,anime and stuff. at that time nec have one of the wildest products in smartphone market, in nec dual w media something like that and limited edition of one piece phone and their pc business still pretty much running but still he chose iphone and mac, and when i asked about it.he explained it to me that iphone and mac pretty much very popular in japan,if you have the money you most likely ended up with iphone and mac

                    Mobilemaster, 12 Oct 2023Sharp doesn't produce their phones in Japan since like... moreAgree, the only problem here is their pricing by Foxconn, not Sharp. This may be why most brands are shifting towards other ODM alternatives such as Huaqin, Longcheer, Sprocomm, Tinno etc.

                    The problem is that Sharp, even being respected, doesn't seem to be a very popular brand in Japan, as most Japanese people are inclined to getting "world phones", grey imported or officially sold by non-Japanese brands according to what we can notice from Rakuten (their hotspot for world phones), which is apparently an advantage for Apple.

                    I'm against the Apple fan theory that most Japanese people use Apple products. The truth is, we need to experience by at least visiting Japan it to understand it.

                      Minu, 12 Oct 2023I was pointing out how atrocious that seller's prices ... moreSharp doesn't produce their phones in Japan since like 2019 this is true, but their phones are designed in Japan. Why? Because Sharp is a legend in that country, people still respect and love that brand, so Foxconn has to do what the Japanese people wants. How they know what they want? Well, from Sharp. So my point is that Foxconn can not do whatever they want when it comes to phones trust me.
                      By the way there is an interesting fact the world doesn't know about, is that the percentage of Foxconn owning Sharp fell from 66% fell down to like 57%. Who said this? Sharp said.

                        Sharp doesn't make phones. Foxconn uses that brand name under license from Sharp Corporation, Japan. It's completely Foxconn's decision to price their products, and in typical Foxconn fashion, they ask completely unjustified prices for their products. Not a surprise, considering they had dropped the ball on manufacturing for Nokia, Samsung (A series only), Google and Apple to save costs and keep a high profit margin.

                        If the Japanese market asks for this mildly "unjustified" amount for their products, wait till you find out how much our electronic shops ask for each item, especially in third world countries.
