Be liked Xiaomi and surely Sony will regain foothold in the smartphone race. Time changed so a company like Sony must have to implements also other strategies like toning down the prices of their products while maintaining their high qualities.

    Good move, cause entire Sony mobile division just sucks badly

          Sony Is Responsible for this. Because they are not Listening to Customers what they are committing. Sony is not Advertising Their Phones in anywhere. And this is a bad thing. Sony Should Fire or terminate it's Marketing Manager. And Appoint a new practical person. Who knows how can company goes up. Sony Advertise your products like Samsung, iPhone, Huwaie, Nokia, and many other Mobile phone Companies. Then You will see your marketing graph 📈. I am sorry to say. Shame On You Sony and shame on you marketing manager.

                      Its many parts of their mobile department in general. It's being managed terrible. Or held down terrible. They have the potential to be fierce force in android and barely just float along instead.

                        2) that design was ugly in iPod nano 6 and 7, it was ugly in Lumias, it was ugly in Xiaomi mi 3, it was still ugly when Sony copied it

                          Sony is lacking of advertisement, seriously their products are great but people wont know if no ads about it at all. I never see any Sony's products being ads in TV since they bought full stock erricsson, even famous Youtubers rarely review their products (Im pretty sure you guys never see any ads about sony products in youtube ads). New chinese comer like Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi put heavy ads in almost media, thats why they sold well, this brand known by people. Nowadays only old folks people know how good Sony product is.
                          Theres nothing wrong with their products, its just they need to reorganize their marketing team.

                              Denis Thomas, 30 Mar 2019How am I angry? Im only stating facts that everyone knows. ... moreYou're only right about one thing. You said something everyone knows. And in context that everyone knew and it was ridiculous to bring up. That most use a Sony sensor. And you only did it to brag childishly cause you couldn't resist.

                              The rest. Is you being upset. Facts? Lmfao.
                              They use them mainly for demand. Same with exynos and snap. Well demand and regulations/fees. Cause clearly they use their own too.
                              And that's not what you said. You said without Sony there is no good sensor. That's not facts. That's bias fan ranting. Now you say Sony is always better. Well those are two completely different statements. And again is not facts. Because they have been mostly better for a few years. But have not always been better.

                              And again. There are other players in the field. Which you ignored while being on your I love Sony tyrant. Like Toshiba making the sensor behind the marvelous Nokia 808.

                                  Sony sensor is only one part of a complete series of different parts in a camera.

                                        Isocell might be edged out by Sony but is way more than capable. And at times had been better. And Toshiba and omni vision made great sensors too. Like the 808 sensor.
                                        Youre just an angry fan.
