15 September 2023
Sony could look to jumpstart 2024 with an earlier flagship.

I've explained their buggy software and I've even said that's something they can improve on. What is your point here? I don't deny that their software needs improvement.

For the price, they do offer similar prices to other flagships. Maybe your region might be a bit more expensive, but others have it the other way where Sony is cheaper. Look at some of the other users here explaining that it's cheaper to get Sony phones over Apple and Samsung.

"And then attacking me for calling out that blind level of bs is also not blind defending at all.....
Right....."

Please learn to formulate a coherent sentence, I don't know what you're saying. If you're trying to say I'm blindly defending, I'm not. I've criticized Sony before and have said they have faults. Not everyone is perfect, every company makes compromises.

Maybe take some time to read before you respond. I even break my points down to help you with that.

    It's not false. You go on about Sony being overpriced while others are the same. Sony sometimes even offers more features for a similar price, but you only specifically target Sony.

    That's you singling them out, then start calling anyone who provides a logical and reasonable counter to your points a fanboy. Stay deluded.

    "Speaking facts, especially against someone giving excessive excuses for a company's issues, is not attacking."

    Wrong. You are twisting facts and providing a false narrative with your "arguments". You've done this before and still do it again. You will then go around in circles and refuse to actually address the arguments.

    "Talking about their extreme over pricing vs others while admitting the over pricing of others is not denying others over pricing. Nor does it invalid my point...."

    How does Sony "extremely" overprice their phones compared to their competitors? They provide almost the same specs in hardware and recently just brought out a completely new camera technology. They still offer basic features that current flagships don't have.

    So you think a flagship not offering basic features and forcing you to buy its branded products is not extremely over-pricing?

    The only argument you can make is software and that is due to the limited funding it has for that. Samsung makes a lot of money from its phones and pours a lot of money back into it. That's why they have so many features in their UI. This is basic business and I even gave you a visual to look at while explaining how it works. It seems like you can't even comprehend visuals to help, truly unfortunate.

    "Nor does it invalid my point...."

    Your whole argument is Sony overcharges for their products, but then you don't deny that others do the same, so why single out Sony? Why the double standards?

    "And yet you sit here side tracking telling me to get educated and say I don't understand logic....🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️"

    You don't understand logic, can't formulate a coherent sentence, and can't address the arguments provided.

      I relly really really love xperia's comment pages.

        For a fair price like 700 it could be impressive othervise no.
        My Moto Edge 40 pro costed me 789 euros and is like a best phone with all its specs and accesories in box.

But when the Xperia Pro finally launched in 2021, it also expanded into other markets, such as Europe, Japan, and certain Asian countries. I can confirm this, not just because of this site's coverage when it was official, but because I did see the Xperia Pro's availability in the Sony Style Center Store in Berlin when I was in Germany in August 2022 with my own eyes there.

                    We'll see if both rumors (MWC 2024 event participation and large continuous optical zoom with a max range of 6x) for the Sony Xperia 1 VI come true, considering Sony is one of the most unpredictable smartphone brands as its leaks have been harder to spread and mismatched compared to contemporary, but MWC 2024 has the bigger chance to become a reality, as the Xperia 5 V marks the return of Sony Xperia to big international events' announcements since the OG Xperia 5 in 2019 as the Xperia 5 V was present at IFA 2023.

                    BTW, who has been playing Photoshop too much with those pictures? LMAO, especially the right one, which is the same as the Xperia PRO-I announcement picture in 2021.

                      The only time we agree, but it's just this guy.

                      Lmao. Nobody is "blindly" defending Sony. Seems like you can't read either since I've talked about things Sony can improve on, not just what they are good at.

                      It's ironic how you talk about Sony fans being "unable to read" when you can't read yourself.

                        You are attacking Sony. If you're not going to deny that everyone overprices their products then your whole argument against Sony is invalidated.

                        You still haven't addressed any points. Keep waffling that's all you do.

                        "You really have no idea what you are doing here."

                        Stop projecting.

                                    I'm just bored at work lol.

                                    "How about letting us buy what we like instead? It's been decades that people like you are ranting on Sony posts. Maybe get a hobby or something? That's unhealthy. I mean.., it's been SO MANY years."

                                    I'm not the one ranting about Sony, I'm countering someone's "arguments". They keep attacking Sony for overcharging when every other company does the same, I don't get the double standards. Realistically, all flagships are overpriced, but I'd rather have a flagship with basic features compared to the others who lack them and try and force you to buy their secondary products.

I'm the one not making sense..... cause defending a company for over charging, lacking compared to others in multiple hardware aspects, and even not being able to properly optimize their non existent software because that would otherwise be charity is what makes sense instead..."

                                      Again, you fail to actually address my points and just continue to go in circles, typical coping response. I don't disagree that Sony lacks behind in some aspects, I've said this before.

                                      You for some reason fail to comprehend the part where I mentioned that Sony's mobile division is not in a position to sell anything lower than a flagship.

                                      The specs in terms of hardware is almost the same as other android flagships such as CPU, RAM, battery capacity, etc.

                                      Be specific on what you mean by lacking behind in hardware. Are you talking about display like not having a LTPO display? What about having a higher resolution display (regardless of it makes a difference or not)?

                                      "I'm the one that doesn't know what I'm talking about..... that makes sense.........."

                                      Yes you don't know what you are talking about, it's clear with each response you type. You don't actually provide anything with substance in your replies, you prove that you lack business knowledge and think Sony at the moment is able to sell phones their flagship phones for $700 while continuing to make a profit.

                                      Maybe they can in a few years since they are starting to gain more traction than before, but at the moment it makes no sense from a business perspective.

                                      I don't know why you think I want Sony's phones to be priced so high, I wish they were lower as well, but I understand why it's priced so high.

                                      Let me simplify it for you: They don't sell as many units, so they price them to try and make the profit. When they start making more profit, they can reinvest back into the division.
