Some of the Japanese employees to be transferred to other divisions, voluntary retirement on the table in Europe and China.

Sort by:

        Take this as Sony's slow retreat from the mobile market......First they stopped making Laptops ,Then Tablets and now phones will be going soon.

        It's sad to see such a company with such a good history with the Playstation market just doesn't seem to do it in the phone market, They were so much better when they were with Ericcson .

            For flagships they were good but samsung copied fast and gave better smartphones
            For midrange they were overpriced and they were killed by chinese

                They didn't learn from nokia, htc. Stubbornness lead them here underperforming and overpriced phones absolutely no innovation no marketing

                  From Xperia Z, waterproof, great cam, great battery to today ... Ugh. Sony innovates but doesn't advertise. Sad.

                    Pillow design, Removal of headphone jack, Massive bezels bigger than the screen.
                    List goes on....

                    I seriously doubt they didn't saw it coming

                    I now moved on to SAMSUNG.
