The amount shrinks in half on a yearly basis, but overall FY Q2 and H1 results are good.

Is anyone still exciting about Sony's phoneS besides the die-hard fans?

I'm a xperia phone user for years ( Z1s, Z3 to XZ).
I'm still using the xperia XZ, but to be honest………Even I wouldn't willing to pay $600 USD or more for any new xperia flagship nowadays. It's just not worth it. ( But if there are sale that some online retailer are going to sell it under $500 USD, I might consider it.)

Take away the overrated camera selling point ( what's there to make the phone actually practical experience in every day's usage? ).

    Do you think the 6 month update cycle hurts them?, perhaps it makes buyers hold out for the next update?.

        Marko97sx, 30 Oct 2018Anyone gonna say R.I.P. Sony? I'm waiting...r.i.p sony xd

          Wonder if they realize what all trendy features their (still) loyal customers miss compared to other brands and even cheaper phones(forget flagships).
          If its intended, sold number is actually quite achievement.

            It looks like Sony is doing better than HTC. LOL!

                    For their clean OS, they deserve to sell more. But since they are somehow able to do things wrong with every new flagship, the numbers are not surprising.

                            i dont belive its sales, maybe they mean shipments cause i really didnt see a Sony phone around since 2016, nobody are buying them...

                            Sony are trying hard, but never do it right, maybe they need to implement new options with their phones, one is make them more comfortable to hold, cause its hard to hold a pointy square in the hand for too long.
