sony used to be superior, nowadays not so much anymore. They're not bad per se, but i really don't know anyone who still uses one.
They have massively paired back. I know they did pull out of lots of places, Canada included, but they still maintain a presence in the US.

It's probably Sony's own doing. The marketing probably wasn't really on point and their phones just kinda fell into the wash of every other smartphone. Sad really, as the current crop seems perfectly awesome.
Yup and the problem is, most people... don't care. They want the phone everyone else has. Which is something Apple absolutely excels at, and something Sony has really stumbled over for their smartphone division.
But thats typical Sony. For as many things they knocked outta the park(Trinitron TV's, Playstation, Walkman etc) they have also failed (Betamax, MiniDisc, etc). Kinda how Sony has operated for what seems like forever. And all that kinda gives me a soft spot for them, as they will try to do crazy stuff that others won't(Xperia Pro, Aibo etc etc)

was about to post vid from Brownlee, he absolutely nailed it. Also it's really sad to see them almost vanish from the smartphone market.

^This.
It's not that Sony don't make premium stuff, it's just that the competition have caught up, and beaten them outright in terms of innovation.

just to make it clear, i really used to love their stuff, also their phones, man, i had 2 of them (K800i and CMD CD5), actually i still have them and they're still working like a charm.
The problem with sony is, that they do make great phones but their marketing is a nightmare.

Never had a problem with updates. They are not frequent, but they support them well enough.
Wen juckt's?
I'm not sure what they are doing worse than Samsung on, and I'm not sure to this day how they exploded and not Sony.

Crazy Kraut Jibberish:
Die Kaufinteressenten? Null Werbung und eine Verfügbarkeit unter aller Sau helfen nicht gerade dabei Umsätze zu machen, dass sie obendrein noch Geräte eher für hardcore-Foto-Enthusiasten machen ebenso wenig. Gute, hochqualitative Hardware verkauft sich eben nicht von alleine, gerade Sony sollte das besser wissen als viele andere.
Proper 'murica illegible:
The prospective buyers? Zero advertising and availability near to zero do not exactly help to make sales, on top of that they make devices for hardcore photo enthusiasts which also dosen't help. Good, high-quality hardware doesn't sell by itself, Sony in particular should know that better than many others.

Doch hatte ich so einfach durch Saturn vorbeigeschaut und einem gekauft. Die sind für mich besser, da sie keine Bloatware dabei haben. Nicht nur, dass die technischen Daten spitz-klasse sind, aber die haben normalerweise besondere Eigenschaften, deren andere Handys auf keinen Fall haben.
Aber mit Werbung bin ich einverstanden. Traurigerweise ein großer Schwachpunkt von Sony.
I was able to simply walk in to Saturn (our bestbuy) and buy one. I like them because they have no bloat. The technical specs are not only good, but the normally have features that others dont have.
But I agree with the advertising. Sadly a weakspot for sony.

Have to say the last two words of the title of the post made me pause for a moment, just saying but maybe I'm being too politically correct.
