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.

xperialover , 22 Oct 2015I think sony should increase the quality of their productio... morethey don't need to win back the mid range market and infact they shouldn't ....They should focus more on Flagship devices...invest money on them instead on midrangers....invest most in marketing

BELIEVE ME !!!!!!

            Sony, why bother. Your cheap glass/plastic back phones are not worthy even the camera quality. You have poor software that automatically fail to boot sometimes, you are losing market share quick, just give up

                                I think sony should increase the quality of their production seriously.i have to say this year is the worst year by sony
                                All there devices released during this year have so many problems.
                                M4 aqua had terrible overheating issues. And alot of m4 aqua units had manufacturing defects.plus no OTG and dualshock shock support in a midranger.embarrassing.
                                E4/4g was okay but stuck in kitkat.
                                Z3+ had overheating as well

                                I think what sony should do is try to win back the entry level and midrange market back again. Sony can't challenge the i phone or a Galaxy s or note series in sales atleast.
                                They should try to create better midrangers and entry level for developing countries.
                                Look at Samsung they have an excellent entry level and midrange offering. Samsung J5/J2 /J7 on5/on7 and grand prime is a good example
                                .
                                I find it severly hard to find a sony device to buy in 2015.
                                Because sony screwed up 2015 in their range of devices.
                                I badly want to support them financially. I don't want them to exit smartphone market.
                                Well reason i am saying so is because i am a fan of sony xperia omnibalance design language.
                                Different people have different views.

                                    Eske Rahn, 22 Oct 2015Interesting initiative. I wonder if this will be followe... moreSony's own factory means they can save some extra cost. and finally lower their phone prices.
                                    current Sony can't do it since they rely on the price of the OEM/ODM.
