              Their XZ2 camera got it right this time, yet let down by the design. Sony proofs that even without OIS, they are among top quality camera as of now both in photography and video (EIS video recording can compete with other OIS enabled phone).

              The design, rather have bigger battery than that vibrat0r for thickness sacrifying. And the upcoming XZ2 premium, they know already current XZ2 sales was not good, but still put higher $1k pricing for it. I dont know what happens in their marketing department meetings, but the decision is dumb. With the camera as main selling point, reduce price to $700-$800 for XZ2 premium definitely will help them sales more therefore got profit effectively.

                The division is dying, yet I'm still a fan of this company.

                      is it for good? I cant believe this.. this is hilarious O_O

                        Bye HTC, sony and LG.

                          Well, we'll either buy from Amazon or give up on them and turn to trusty Nokia.

                          I still think though that limiting production to flagship and high mid-range devices was the bane of Sony. Not many people in the MEA region are able to shell out those amounts Sony asks for its premium phones.

                            ouch ouch, 01 Jul 2018"blaming Xperia sales on slow product lineup improvements".... moreTo be fair, despite the sizes of their batteries, they last a long time off the charger thanks to software optimization. Though I do agree with you, when you have all that extra space, might as well use it

                              see? even the parent company admit it.
                              still no ois in 2018, useless vibration motor which no one asked for, thick fat design without bigger battery.

                                Chineses phones dont have:

                                HDR screen, 10-bit screen, BT2020 compliant, SDR to HDR playback, Quantum dots to make colour gamut as wide as Samsung oled, IP68, 960fps Full HD.
                                No battery care to give battery more life cycles, no adaptive charging.
                                They dont get new android versions by late october.
                                They dont have Qi charging.
                                No Hi Res audio take improves quality of crappy mp3 files.
