    Sony themselves dropped quality in key areas like camera, audio, etc. What can be expected?
    Suddenly, a 12 years old Nokia N91 starts giving better audio than your latest 2018 flagships, what else do you expect?

    Why should I get a Sony, there's just no exclusive reason left.

      Actually, moving under Sony Electronics is a smart move marketingwise.
      Now Xperia phones will be also on showcase wherever Sony TVs, Audio, Camera, etc tech is being sold.... just like all other big brands are doing it.
      And thats a LOT of places, lots of presence for people to get to actually see and feel Xperia products.

      Up until now, people could only mostly read and see pictures of Xperias on internet, were showcased only in some telecom stores here in Europe.
      Now they ll be showcased in every tech store. Just like Sammy, Huawei and Apple do it.

      With time sales will pick up, and as profits kick in, those unfocused will be refocused.

                        I have three options left.

                        1) Buy x performance ( i dont care it has android 8 only)
                        2) buy xz premium ( costs 75% more than x perf)
                        3) wait 2020 to see if Sony brings the 1/1.5" 66.6 MP sensor with quadpixel AF

                          XZ2 Premium street price is $650 which is even better deal considering you are getting the best night time video capture and top of the line screen.

                          And then there is XZ3 that goes for $500 in green color. It's arguably the best overall package Sony has put out so far, it's extremely beautiful device and if you are a fan of OLED screen go for it. In my opinion that screen can't compete with XZ2 Premium LCD.

                          So if you are not in a hurry within 6 months you will be able to snatch Xperia 1 for $700 and that's OP7 money.

                                    lots in the middle east still think sony is great, they'd feel really left out.
                                    When you see a competitor gaining popularity, the best strategy is to learn from them and improve instead of coiling up and retreat.
                                    I won't be surprised if sony's limited to Japan by 2021 if this keeps on.

                                        The only good Xperias was the z2 and the z3.. When the z4 and z5 came out.. I lost ALL hope for Sony since then.. And look at those Sony phones after z5.. Everything from the stupidly low volume on speaker till the infamous overheating problems across all of emails until when xz premium came out.. Sony is not only arrogant they are also stubborn not to listen the crowds wish including their fans have been neglected... Song's marketing are probably the worst too Cuz they think people will buy it Cuz it's Sony.. Terribly wrong.. You're dead Sony..I was a huge fan of Xperia but no longer.. Either quit the mobile division or start fresh with NEW strategies
