Seems to me like Sony wants to close doors on their mobile devices division.

No low-end device
No good midrange (even Sharp did a better midrange with the Aquos Sense 8)
Their flagships got a huge hit and downgrade
No tablets

I wonder where they are aiming for. Last year the 10 V was a sales disaster even in Japan. I can't imagine how they will fare this year.

Having a 3.5mm jack & microsd card can only do so much for them if the rest of the package is pretty poor. What hurts the 10 VI the most is that they are using the same sensors of the 10 V, and the main 48MP sensor is from 2018! It was used by a Redmi device in those years. They could have at least put the old 12 MP sensors from the 5 III on it, to at least make it a good upgrade.

    I mean, They could've given the phone a 1440p or even a 1260p display instead of a 1080p one...
