      The manufacturing psrt is easy its the R&D (research and design) that makes or breaks products. Sony or who ever that outsources products will have reference design specifying whats chips materials are to be used all the contractor has to do is abide by this machines put products together with little help from humans so no sony distinguishment is lost anyway.

              well looks like sony quality will be going down the down the kermit. yes we will see cheaper high end phones but will they be any good. design wise probably yes. hardware wise probably not.

                      iphone is china made, consider low-end product
                      china are destroy US, cause jobless in US
                      the benefit only good to the Sony & Apple for their own better profit.
                      The conclusion is: China Product, US Salesman - acceptable by user.

                                      Sony is a good Company, but from past 4 years it lost market in all segments of its group products, sony polices are regid, heaping on old glory. Sony has stopped Entry range, and also innovative design models,
                                      But they Software is user friendly and best for usage.
