AnonD-558092, 13 May 2019Took them long enough. But the price stings badly. Be patie... moreHow does the price "sting" exactly? Not only you get a, presumably at least, great phone, but also the company's flagship headphones. Sony isn't Xiaomi, Apple, or some random Chinese maker like Bluedio either - they have a history in sound and the headphones themselves are very popular for a reason.

Why is there so big problem with availability of smartphones with Snapdragon 855 in Europe? There are a lot of problems to buy Mi9, we have May and no other phones are official.

Took them long enough. But the price stings badly. Be patient and wait for a more reasonable price.

Anonymous, 13 May 2019Device is $1000. This is the price of a 2017 iPhone. T... moreIt's not because you have other overpriced devices alongside the Xperia 1 that it's not overpriced. That's bad logic

Syuser, 13 May 2019If Sony would find a way to price its devices same as Xiaom... moreSony is not located in China.
Sony does not have factories in India ( cheaper than Thailand)
Sony does not have adds on Xperia UI to earn money
Sony does not use old parts ( gorilla 3, micro usb) on their phones, not even for L series.
Sony has operations outside Japan, this costs money. Japan and Sweden are not cheap places.
Sony has costumer services in many countries , this costs money.
Sony has to adapt stuff they get from other divisions to cellphones, this requires a lot of R/D.
Sony does not do things based on what Apple does.
Sony has brought many things for mobile community, Xiaomi loves to copy (mi mix is exactly like Sharp Crystal sold 2 years before it)
I can guarantee that Sony phones costs more to be made than Xiaomi.
If people in India and China stop buying Redmi , Xiaomi is in trouble. Number of their flagships sold are no near the sales of Huawei P and Mate.
Xiaomi CEO said once they dont mind losing money with phones, because they have many other business.

SinrOne, 13 May 2019There goes that.. I said if Sony will fight back with bette... moreDevice is $1000.
This is the price of a 2017 iPhone. The price of last year Find X that lacks tons of stuff 1 has. Not that overpriced.
This is the best headphone you can buy from Sony. Best noise cancelling and up to 30h battery endurance.
Amazon Germany sold all units last week. Not sure if they have more already.

If Sony would find a way to price its devices same as Xiaomi does, their devices will sell as hot cakes! Amazing device, but big price!

€1000.. Not really a handset I would spend the money for. At least not for the full price... Sony has really good phones. But the price is killing it.

There goes that.. I said if Sony will fight back with better pricing, I might go for it. Almost no one buys Sony phones, and no one will if they price themselves out, like they did now, even with the headphones.
