It's going to take more than a phone full of specs and gimmicks to top the mobile market. I'm talking to you Huawei fans. Enthusiasm only goes so far.

                All the signs ar telling me that Sony is pulling their interest out of the normal consumer market and putting it into the professionals market. All the great featuers that their flagships offer is of no use to an average person. But many professionals, especially those in the movie industry, speak highly of it. Many indie filmakers say it's a must have for viewfinding, location hunting, and in some rare cases, shooting.

                    Anonymous, 14 May 2020Why is it overpriced? I would love to hear that argument, I... moreOverpriced as in most people would prefer other brands for their worldwide availability and other things over Sony.

                    For example, in my country they stopped selling Sony phones now.
                    There is no point in getting one imported when you can buy something as good as it, at way cheaper price.

                    Besides, the reason they stopped selling is coz of poor sales. The poor sales were a direct result of Sony overpricing flagships in my country compared to Samsung and others.

                    The best example of Sony overpricing is Sony launching the Xperia 10 II with SD665@385 Dollars.
                    Now who's gonna buy SD665 when you can get SD855 phones with almost everything better at the same price?

                      I guess all the fanboys are just talk. LOL.
                      Sony is already a goner when they pulled out from many major markets.

                          Maybe people have some other things to do than to buy a new mobile when they sit at home?
                          Did Apple or Samsung sale more this year than the last?
                          You became to be a fanboys page.

                            Since only Japanese maker available in Europe. I will continue until the end. Actually Xperia 1 and want Xperia 1II. If Sony stops I will go for Nokia (9.3)
                            In the past my mobile were Sony/Ericsson, Philips and Panasonic

But, sadly, there are not (m)any viable alternatives in the android world?? Samsung with Exynos is a no-go, Huawei lost Google services. HTC is gone.
                                  An alternative to Xperia? Maybe Pixel, or Chinese manufacturers.
