And while you preach your dogma and your nose grows more, people will continue to buy those "expensive" Xiaomi... that they mostly have a better quality / price ratio than what Sony or LG offers at its price segment. They cover almost all market, and perhaps they only need a top model full of features, but that is not important as only a minority will buy it at the initial price, and Samsung sheeps will still buy the Galaxy asap even when they cost >$1000 and only few rare specimens... the Sony phones that actually are absent in majority of markets. LG even less.
In addition, LG can not even trusted. Their after-sales service is appalling. Their phones arrive late, a few months after they advertise and do not even receive updates. So if Xiaomi is bad updating, then LG is even worse in that area. Only updating and very late a couple of models with luck and because they are the most expensive and with luck.

AnonD-731363, 30 Jul 2019Well Sony problem is somewhere else.
They put tons of use... more- Z1 made by Xiaomi would be designed in China, which is cheaper than doing in Japan/Sweden by japanese/swedish people.
- Z1 by Xiaomi would be made in factory in India, which is cheaper .
- Z1 by Xiaomi would have annoying adds to bring money
- Z1 by Xiaomi would use lower quality screen, cheaper sensors and older gorilla glass version. Which are cheaper
- Z1 by xiaomi would probably lack NFC like most of their phones
- Z1 by xiaomi in 2013 would be made out with plastic, no IP57
- Z1 by xiaomi would take much longer to get android 4.3 and 4.4 coming out of box with 4.2 and would not receive 5.0 nor 5.1 ( mi 5s still does not have android 8, it is as old as xperia Xz)
Funny part. Here the price of Mi9 (xiaomi website) is just 2% cheaper than S10 (samsung website) ... Price did not change since they arrived.
Something like US$ 1291 for Mi9 ..... LOL

If Sony wants to come back in full glory it really needs to start checking their prices...
Put your flagship for 800 € instead of 1000 € and just this move will put you back on the map.For 1000 € people will only go for Apple and Samsung. Thats the reality Sony. Once you regain the trust of people you can compete with those two like you once did. I have to be honest, I love Sony but I am not willing to pay that price . Not today...Maybe in the future...

Those $1000 phones of Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG and Huawei etc dont cost $250 to be made like Xiaomi phones.
Look at OnePlus. They just started to add stuff and phone costs much more than previous generations.
Oppo have had lately phones above $800. If you still think that flagship from Huawei, Samsung, Apple, LG, HTC, Sony and Oppo cost same of Xiaomi flagship to be made and it is all about being greed you are wasting time ...
By the way, explain us why Huawei charges more than $800 and sells much more flagships than Xiaomi.

The barrier cant be taken down completely because they have compact cameras. There are models that still use 1/2.3" , just like previous Xperia amd Sony makes more money with cameras than cellphones.
Crystal LED (their branded microLED) for now cant be made in small factor for mobile. Just like Samsung's, these panels are still very large. They are used for other kind of business. This tech will take years to be ported to small screns. It will reach TVs first.
If they offer you a cellphone that can take better photos than the 1" sensor RX100, same audio quality of their Walkman and same screen level of Bravia; why would you buy all these stuff if you can just buy the cellphone?
They'd rather see you buy one of each product.

Well Sony problem is somewhere else.
They put tons of useless obsolette add-ons to their devices and they really praying someone will buy a phone for 1000 originaly worth maybe 500 bucks.
Sony is no more company it was when starting Z series.
Z1 made by xiaomi would cost up to 400-500 bucks but even a Pocophone made by Sony would cost 700 euros or more.
