Why Don't People Buy Sony Smartphones?

I admire Sony for sticking with expandable memory and a earphone jack, the Xperia 5 is probably the best value for money. Especially the mark II in terms of screen, battery life and CPU.

😢😢😢😢

i am getting this for under 250 $ should I buy this or the pixel 6a ?????

The good thing about the headphone jack- wired headphones need no charging.

They don't sell in Australia. I had only one in my life and loved it but, recently, they are only making top notch shit. They should go back and make middle and low tier as well.

The camera sucks but the battery and the music are WAY WAY ahead of all the phones out there !!!!

So it seems Sony has the right problem to have no?

An amazing product that people would love and will adopt more once they have their supply chain & marketing sorted. Versus Apple, who has their launch/market/supply but gatekeeps features & pisses off their customers.

I still buy Sony smart phones, but these Indians running these phone refurbishment centre's have convinced people that iPhone and Samsung is better so they can charge more money for screen replacements and replacement batteries. My Sony Xperia xz premium is still working after 6 years. The battery health is only down to 79%.

I'd 100% get a sony phone if they worked with my carrier. Unfortunately for most mid-west carriers its Apple, Motorola, Google, and Samsung, and that's that. You don't get much choice.

was team sony ericsson for long time

i've been an avid Sony Phone user since they acquired Ericsson. (Ericsson cellphone user prior to these Sony brands). My first Sony-Ericsson cellphone was the Xperia Acro S (awesome sturdy waterproof smart phone!). My wife had the Xperia Go (awesome smaller sturdy waterproof smartphone also!). Then i had the Xperia ZR, my wife got the Xperia Z1 Compact, then the Z5 Compact. After those, i upgraded to Xperia ZX2. My wife got the Xperia XA1 Ultra and she's using it 'til today. Finally, i just got my hands on the midranger Xperia 10 ii as my daily driver and to be honest, serves me well. Here's what i can say: Sony Xperia smartphones are well worth a look. Love it or hate it, they are awesome, well-built smartphones!

- Sony cannot make phones that dont melt the fuck away... they all heat like crazy... thats not acceptable
- ITS NOT 4k!!!! in fact most of the time its a lower resolution than most phones coming out these days... thats some gut punch... who wants to deal with that?
- Auto shot feature is stupid
- You aint foolin anyone with those stupid bezels sony... the phones look like a totally different era

Honestly being call enthuasist is already an honored

I know the answer they are tooo tooo sxpensive

ive had this phone for just over 3yrs... Just love everything about it...

Sony is a power horse that does not know how to use its powers.
I'm using xz2 compact these days.

I myself owned the Xperia 10 IV phone previously and it was a very good phone. The issue you have is these phones only have 2 years of shelf life which is among the lowest out there. Sony are only offering 2 years of software support and security updates after which point you can't use the phone so it doesn't make much sense to own one unless money is no object and you want to keep upgrading your phone every often. I do like their phones but its ultimately not a good investment due to short life span of support.

Sony reliability caused services provided to drop them around the time of z5 compact was horrible AF feel apart in your hand

Sony's fandom is damn different

Who told no one buy Sony? I always buy Sony when I need new phone

I believe, people not buying SONY phones is not company's fault. it's people's. Photography and Cinematography using SONY pro camera requires high level of skills and knowledges which's clearly not for everyone.

I had an xperia back in the day but when you cracked the screen, it was done.

I just got an used xperia 5 iii, the phone it's great so far with a nice screen and my reason-to-buy-it sd card slot and headphone jack. But the "basic" video mode outputs 2014 horrible quality! I get why very few buys them. People just want a reliable point and shoot phone, and this ain't it

Bought my first Sony Xperia 5 years ago and it still works sooo incredibly well. Battery life even beats the more recent iPhones that my friends own. UI is amazing. Hands down the best phone I've ever had. The next phone is definitely going to be an Xperia too... if/when this one actually dies.

Because 21.9 screen wery ugly.

It's also the updates. Samsung gives you 4-5 years, Sony only 2-3. Most people want to get the latest Emojis and Security

Soy fanático de Sony, tanto en modulares como en cualquier equipo electrónico, en cuanto a la reproducción de Música no hay quien le iguale, fidelidad, potencia, bajos, la ingeniería Sony no tiene comparación, simplemente son productos para quienes saben apreciar la excelencia. Mis modulares, audifonos y telefonos son Sony. Vale la pena esperar y pagar lo necesario por los equipos porque sé que no quedaré desilusionado. Simplemente lo mejor de lo mejor.

Watching on Xperia1 Mark ii

I was a huge fan of Sony compact smartphones. I really want the 5 series. I hunted the internet to find if it works on AT&T in America. Everywhere I look, they say to check the AT&T white list for compatibility. AT&T finally updated their white list to show the Xperia 5 IV. That phone is a year old now. The security updates will make the phone obsolete by the time I find out it's on the updated white list. I think internet reviewers should tell people how well a phone works on different networks. That's an important part of the purchase decision. So, now I'm waiting for the Xperia 5 V to be released. I'm guessing sometime next year, AT&T will update their white list again. And so it goes.

Only because there is no erricsson logo and name

Sony is not for everyone.

Because they didn't know it's already existing.

Quick question? What’s the big deal with still having the Headphone jack? I’m a bit confused on why so many still would want that option left on smartphones today? It’s an actual inquiry so please take it easy on me lol.

4k? try it in vr

Price price price price....if they sell them for 700 euros they woud destroy apple and Samsung

소니 직원도 소니 스마트폰을 사용하지 않습니다😅

为什么海外版只有12gb
日本本土有16gb的
原本就销量不好的牌子 还搞地域歧视

No one knows what the hell it is. I can't remember the last time I've seen an ad for a Sony phone.

SEND THIS PHONE TO ME PLZZZ

The main issue is the price which offers less value for money.

My very first phone that could do more than just text and call was a Sony... the Sony Ericsson W580i (thank you Google lol). I loved that thing, mainly because it was my portable music player for a little while even with how little storage it had.

I mean here in Canada it's pretty hard to get yourself any Sony phone I've been to a bunch of retailers and none of them had any Sony phones. I think the only way is to maybe buy it online. Otherwise I would like to have one I've really wanted one for a while now

I always use Sony ❤

They still sell Sony phones?

Because in today's time if you don't have an Iphone you are considered poor (eventhough Xperia 1 IV is also 1400 euro but nevermind that) and Iphone is a status symbol. Kids get bullied at school if they have an android phone, girls saying they wont date men with samsung etc. That's the culture we have now

Got the worst experience with sony with their arc series, poor battery life, poor camera, phone gets hot easily.. the only upside is the music

I'm going to buy this smart phone in India 😅

is that still worth buying?

I've always preferred Sony phones, right back to the sony Ericson's, the draw back for me now is the simple lack of top end accessories the likes of a life proof cover and a bike mount.
