add a better display , removable battery and more... marketing
iam loving Sony devices like xperia z ultra and z1

    12 mil Lg, 10 mil Sony, 8.8 mil Nokia and Htc/moto >5mil.
    looks like Android is only helping Samsung n Chinese oems who are mass producing low costs smartphones.
    Do hope Sony grows stronger n challenges Samsung

        Lol. LG fanboys - the odd thing - Sony sold less phone but made much more revenue compared to LG. LOL. LG the biggest failure in the smartphone market.

          LG sold 12M with 2.4 Billion
          Sony sold 10M with 4 Billion

          Less production less cost!!
          Sony maybe not in top 5 but they are starting to feel the success on smartphone.

              Anonymous, 31 Oct 2013Sony devices also has CyanogenMod, AOKP, PA,etc supports. lolI didn't say otherwise, all I was trying to say is that they should push to have it for all the new devices (not just the flagship models or the 2011 Xperias).

              That is the edge I was wishing for, not being just like everyone else.

                  Learn Sony! Stop selling your phones only in Japan and sell more to international market

                    i admit that Apple already surpassed Sony in terms of technology, sales and innovations but don't forget the fact that the origins, admirations, dreams of the co-founder of Apple (Steve Jobs) are Sony's. He dreams that someday Apple will become the Sony of all computers and he already attained it. Sony will not compete with Apple because from the very beginning they are allies.

                      Japan only products, expensive unit price, mediocre screen quality. No wonder if Sony still losing money.
                      If Apple only makes iPhone for US market, it will not be big.
                      Learn Sony, learn.

                              It is good to know that Sony really does their thing in the Smartphone world. Before, Sony was too unique here in the Philippines since it started going its own way from being a partner of Ericsson. Sony struggled at first but I knew it from the start that Sony will climb up to the spot and now they are on. Sony designs their phones the best like HTC does. Those are the two companies that make good hardware and they really make products that feel premium and with real good qualities! I will buy a Lumia 1520 since I wanna switch from Android (with LG Optimus G Pro and HTC One X+) to WP but I will still buy an Xperia SP to keep myself attached to the Android world. Best of luck Sony! :)

Cloudy and gravity should bring money.
