16 February 2018
The company effectively confirmed this while replying to a user-query on Twitter.

Just to justify Sony's bad moves with their phones. I bet they'd be okay with a stripped-down Android which wouldn't allow using any keyboards or something as crazy as that.

          Hayaan Mo Sila, 16 Feb 2018They did a smart move. This thing is no big deal (but for ... moreMaybe Sony should remove dialer, cause it's takes a lot of resources and people can download it anyway from 3rd party developer, maybe they should give empty OS, cause it takes a lot of resources and users should download everything themself? What do you think smartboy? :))

Way easier and more comfortable for my eyes. No need to remove it and force people to download 3rd party apps. They are doing it wrong.

                        Then Sony could actually work towards the top.
                        But instead they continue running themselves.

And we know Sony's LCD panel is about longevity to the point where it's software becomes obsolete overtime. I'll tell you I have a Xperia Z2 and look at it, it's slow and obsolete, apps sometimes crashes and screen has ghost touch on it. There's Sony's slogan "If it's not broken don't fix it". Why would I invest my money into fixing a phone that's 4 years old that will never get a night mode, lost trust in Sony and I would go ahead and buy a another brand that doesn't have obsolete software support that doesn't offer built in night.

                          PS: Night mode doesn't work well on LCD display, neither dark mode will just cause battery drain on Sony's devices, just saying.

                            so.. what specialities do sony have?
                            camera? No.. because all competitors have better cameras.
                            features? No.. because samsung, lg, and huawei have more features.
                            design? No.. because all competitors have better designs.
                            customer service? No.. because competitors also have better customer services.

                                Why suddenly everyone's so accepting when they used to be so mad after hearing that Night Light hasn't made its way neither to stock Nougat, nor to stock Oreo?

It doesn't consume internal storage space. And Samsung's stock blue light filter is better than every other 3rd-party alternative.
