They had a winner in Xperia XZ3 but they never marketed it. Even a tech enthusiast/conscious consumer like me didn't know about it

im really hoping they can come up with new innovations like true bezel less phone, with cybershot branding. they just need to make new phone design that the crowd is leaning to... listen to your base fans.

Vic4BBM, 31 Oct 2018Sony delivers quality products. I still use Sony tablet and... moreWell, they are doing that only. 2 flagships a year and very minimal presence in mid range. And whatever they put in mid range can't stand a chance against the Chinese. But, still struggling. They got their priorities wrong and most likely they are looking like they have lost interest in smartphone division. They need to release capable and worthy phones that cater to every category and put a reasonable price, at least on par with the Samsungs and do some kind of marketing. HTC thought themselves as a PREMIUM brand and priced their devices way more pricier than what they deserved. Everybody knows what happened to them, right on the verge of extinction, only surviving due to the deal with Google. Right now, premium category is quite limited to few players, iPhones, Galaxy S's and Notes are the only ones who bring sales. HTC and Sony, either they should bring and excel in something that above three doesn't have or target OnePlus's market.

Fayth, 31 Oct 2018small sales but still gain profit, no it's not going to die... moreIf you see finer details, those profits are actually from their semiconductor, TV and PlayStation sales and no way related to smartphones.

Well yeah their phones are no longer unique and they don't offer anything that'll make their phones standout.

Sony phones are quirky and are made to cater a small group of users. I hope they don’t stop making phones, especially their compact line.

radhiv1993, 31 Oct 2018Start copying others Sony, or you die! LOLWell, the Japanese are just too stubborn.
Any Sony would rather keep on killing themselves than do anything to give what their fan want.

KamAbdi, 31 Oct 2018Who told you that they're not worth beyond $500 ???
Sony d... moreWell, I did not said anyone worth what they are selling for ( for example, the iPhone XR is a joke with that price). But Sony was asking for $999 for the latest xperia flagship when the last one was just released not long ago in the NA or most market.( When they do the 6 month thing but they keep on release their phones late and raising their prices in a unreasonable way. But did not come close to their competitors!)
Beside the over selling overrated camera that Sony is selling, is there anything in the their current flagship that got any particular practical experience in every day's usage ( whatever 4K or in whatever it is, are not going to use in daily usage of the phone).

Sony delivers quality products. I still use Sony tablet and it's working great even after 4 years.
Sony just needs to focus on few handsets once a year only. No need to have multiple options in smartphone. Just 2 or 3 with regular update and it's done for a year.
I think this startegy would work.

If XZ3 comes with
- 6gb ram + 128gb internal memory
- Nevermind the 19mp Motion Eye camera, its pretty good already. But add another sensor, be it either Wide Lens, Telephoto or Monochrome & bokeh/portrait effects will be better if have secondary camera. (Right now Sony bokeh/portrait effects are a joke).
- Sony already has a very advance 3d Creator face scan, why not implementing it as Face Unlock?
- Fix the d@mn FPS placement.
- Headphone jack.
- Symmetry the upper earpiece just like bottom speaker design.
If that thing listed above applied on XZ3, Sony will sells a lot even at $900, believe me. I dont mind to buy it either.
