Sony to open a new smartphone factory in Thailand

22 October, 2015
This should put an end to rumors that the company is planning to sell its mobile business.

Doodoo, 22 Oct 2015They will use that factory to produce more slippery phones ... morelol that was funny. He wants to see Sony fail if you ask me! Dare to tell him that Sony has to improve, and you are automatically a troll!

      I'm extremely happy with my C4, surprisingly good quality for $250! However, I'll be impressed more if SONY will change this Xperia platonic design...

            sony will become no.1 position

              The New Mantra to Succeed in the Mobile world -Price it Low and Sell More! Successfully incorporated by the likes of Xiomi, Huewai, Meizu etc.
              Rules of the Game have thus been Changed, nothing remains Constant in the Universe!
              One had to pay a high price to get a good phone, that is the past, now we get well built n sufficiently equipped phs for a fraction, so only the likes of Apple fans will pay stupid money!

              Sony has consistently Violated this law hence loosing money like Crazy!

                AnonD-312755, 23 Oct 2015whats wrong with their design......they just make minor cha... morei don't think so SONY using premium glass for their phone :)

                              Xperialover, 22 Oct 2015The reason i told they should to try to increase market sha... moreyea they should make better quality mid rangers ,,,even i want them to make serious mid rangers but they price them too high and very low on features so people just buy samsung and some other chinese shit ..thats why im saying they shouldn't make mid or small ranger smartphones instead they should invest more money on flagships...im using Xperia E4g and i gotta say that competition has a alot better to offer at that price point...and i have never seen a person with E4...feel like im the only one in the city with Xperia E4

                                  This could be great because then the sony phones will be less priced in india due to lower import taxes..

                                    Sony marketing so poor...Anyway Sony phone always jam and slow after use 5 to 6 months...my experience..Thank

                                      Henrye, 22 Oct 2015For a Japanese company, people have high expectation from S... moreThis is valid.
                                      We all have seen the "Japan only" phones since the Smartphone boom in 2009 and these devices were always at par with flagships...
                                      What I don't get is why not release it internationally.
                                      So, yeah, the expectation is high for Sony.

                                        ELMO, 22 Oct 2015if you're gonna place it in the philippines it will be much... moreSure... no issue with that.
                                        But what about Taxes? Costs of Operation? Location feasibility?
                                        Manual Labor is NOT the only factor considered here, bub.
