Sony sells 9.6M smartphones, turns small profit in June quarter

01 August, 2013
The favorable exchange rates also helped the company turn its fortunes after posting a loss in Q1 last year.

    Sony has very good looking And great build phones , but the problem is the processor, when I always use a sony phone , I see a lot of problems and not really fast as other other like Samsung , lg or HTC , they are really improving their phones but they need more time to be like other

                  I have used 2 SONY devices (mid-Ranged Devices;currently ACRO S) for the last 4 years and I would change to other Andriod phone as my experienced with SONY software on Andriod platform is still not as efficient as the Koreans manufacturer. The phone prices of SONY don't come that cheap either.

                          I'm very happy for this news, means Sony is fighting despite the many Android players out there. Back when they're still Sony Ericsson, they were very popular and only next to Nokia. 2nd place is not bad, continue on Sony, you don't need volumes like Samsung 'cause your designs are always awesome, maybe improve on your software to offer more useful features.

                            Really ? Sony, HTC, LG, ZTE any other company can have smartphone with WP in anytime. Noki can't make phone with Android or MeeGo (before Elop leaves company) ;) Other companies at the moment dont care much about WP, when they start try harder Nokia may be in trouble, only with WP Nokia wont be again be a leader.



                            @Anonymous "comparing nokia and sony..their sales are almost close.
                            nokia sold 7.4 million lumia
                            sony sold 9.6 xperia
                            i think nokia is getting better considering the fact that it uses windowsphone platform with a 5% global market share"

                              AnonD-1846, 01 Aug 2013Just showing up the truth while many Sony fans keeps on say... moreThe last 3 quarters sales of smartphones by Sony equals 9.6M, 8.1M and 7.4M which makes a total of 25.1M smartphones. Not bad for a "dying" company!! Please go peddle your hate elsewhere and stop your trolling.

                                      Sooner it will surpass the market share of some giant android OEm
