Kumar, 11 Jan 2018Over pricing kills sony market...in the smartphone competition..I agree. I love Sony Xperia phones, but the prices are a bit too much, compared to some other manufacturers.
Because let us all be honest here, the additional price we are all paying for is actually for the BRAND NAME.
Because if we remove the Sony brand name on these phones, the price equivalent to the specs that they put inside their phones should be a lot cheaper.

If sony keep on giving high price tag means it is better to stay away from the competition among the best phones because within 20k most featuring smartphones are available in market...if sony gives price tag to reasonable price means it is considerable otherwise go-ahead for some other brands

You don't even use the Z ultra anytime cause you have other phones. That "charged 1 day ago" means that you literally don't use the Z ultra other than watching some news and surfing the web. So you prove nothing about its usage!

The chipsets are one generation behind after new Snapdragon 670 and 640 released. Sony should at least give 660 not 630. 630 is not much difference with 625. 2017 with 630 while other brands give 670 at the same price with this phone. At least fixed back the price! Your phones doesn't give much transformed from your predecessor Sony! Is this your strategy to kill other brands out there?

Sony did not release the official price yet because they are still gauging people's reaction. Remember how the price jumped by about 30+% from the original XA to the sequel XA1? The way people are somehow overhyping the XA2, another price jump is imminent. But personally, if the XA won't be priced higher than $330, it will definitely have a fighting chance, sales-wise, against the trendy 18:9 midrange phones from Chinese brands.

It is interesting to notice that Sony has divided user opinion for quite some time. They found a design they (and frankly myself too) like and stuck with it. Personally, I'm very fond of Sony's build quality and design, but can appreciate public opinion that they tend to overprice devices. The same can be said of many phone manufacturers; Apple and Samsung come to mind. Then again, you get what you pay for.
On a different note, I've noticed that Sony listened to public opinion and have rectified some device shortcomings. For one, the forehead and chin bezels are much smaller on the new devices (if they're removed all together, Sony devices will end up looking identical to Samsung and the rest), the battery has been enlarged dramatically, they're on board with Corning Gorilla Glass and the like. This in my opinion is important, for a company to fix their device shortcomings in the next iteration.
I'm excited to get my hands on this device in South Africa, especially if the price stays on par with last year's offering. Sony is carving themselves a niche in the mid-range market, which is good news for buyers who want a dependable device with flagship-like features on a budget. In my honest opinion, this might just be it.

And BTW. That performance issue is about batteries. So if I replace my smartphone batteries. That issue you were saying will disappear. How about the Xperia? Since it doesn't provide a replaceable battery. How good is the smartphone after 5 years?

Luckily Sony used SD630 based on ARM-Cortex A53 which isn't affected by Meltdown/Spectre so a HUGE PLUS!!!! Hardware Security Wise....
