You see what we are talking about. Rewind it to back in the the days when its all Sony. Sony bravia TVs, Sony sound systems. They just need to up their games. Nobody hates them really and it would be bad if Sony sinks. I also think Japan should help them more.

Most Japanese electronics are dying, South Korea and Chinese have taken the market from them. Japanese Government should do something pretty fast else the only major electronics company would sink right before their eyes

I feel so sad as well... sad

They need further restructuring...

U can't blame Nigerians, u blame Sony for not being aggressive in their marketing enough. People can't buy something they don't know, something without functioning call care where u can take ur phone to for repairs or replacement. Even in the US Sony only recently started agresive advertising. How many concerts or endorsments have Sony xperia sponsored in Nigeria? How many Sony ambassadors do we have in Nigeria?

Just take a look at Samsung? U can hardly go into any shopping mall without finding Samsung adverts. U will find Samsung adverts on the most expensive billboards. They sponsor events, give endorsements. Do u know the year banky w became Samsung ambassador? They invest in the country and are reaping the returns?

Take a look at LG too. They market their g3 and g4 aggresively and people are enlightened. Sony started making phones before LG but look at where LG are now. They launch their flagship phones with events , people benefit from them. Who is benefiting from Sony?

AND U STILL WANT TO BLAME NIGERIANS FOR NOT BUYING SONY XPERIA PHONES? Can u buy something from someone who doesn't give a damn about u? Especially when there are better options.

Well when I bought xperia, I didn't see any advert, but I did my personal research and walla I fell in love...

Probably, they only depend on their ps games for funds.. Who knows..

They even considered selling their mobile phone industry, they have shut then their computer company and they are losing money even on TVs. Check the pictures below.

In your room Sony is not sinking.. I have been a Sony fan boy since I was a kid. So don't think I have a bias against them. But I don't write based on emotions but purely on facts. Sony is sinking faster than you can imagine. Their only profitable business at this time is the PlayStation.

The Motorola-Google deal with Samsung is a figment of one's imagination. It never exist. The Motorola-Google deal is a freaking $12 billion flop.

Unless success has another definition, I will agree with you that the Motorola-Google deal was "very" successful.

Google doesn't have a magic wand. Everything they touch do not turn to gold like people assume. Say hello to Google Plus, the presumed Facebook killer. wink

What of sony entertainment?
Sony electronics? Like their TV?
Sony accessories? The walkman? Headset?
And other sony products that might not exist in africa...
Cos you know sony does not have a company in nigeria unlike samsung...
Sony products are brought in by 3rd party retailers


And
""That last one is the one that is very interesting,
because although Project Ara technically started
under Motorola, Motorola was owned by Google
at the time and was one of the only non-patent
products kept by Google when it sold Motorola
to Lenovo. The story goes that it annoyed
Samsung that Google owned its own phone
manufacturer, and Google was annoyed that
Samsung was making Android unrecognizable
with heavy software skins on its products. So, a
deal was struck -- Samsung would lighten its
software modifications on Android and Google
would sell Motorola.""

I can't remember limiting Sony's sinking ship to Nigeria. I never even mentioned Nigeria or its mobile market. There is a comprehension problem here.

I was only telling you playstation is not sony's only profitable business
Re: How Come Nobody Cares About Xperia Smartphones? by safo99(m): 12:55pm On Dec 11, 2015
I know sony is a good product.. But we shud all look at the facts.. Sony is dieing.. Their only profitable business divisions now is the playstation and camera.. The truth is that the koreans and chinese have taken over d market.. If u cum down to naija here.. Majority of homes u see LG, samsung, polystar... No doubt sony has a good hardware on their fones.. I personally don't like d xperia UI.. Sony sell cameras to other big name OEMs.. But @ the end of the year u won't see an xperia device as top 2 best camera fone in d world.. Apart from dis year.. Where dey beat samsung by just a single percent.. Am not a fan of apple but apple do av class.. The ios works seamlessly wit the iphone.. Apple is all about simplicity... All oda oems are all feeling d heat of recent.. Apart from apple.. Even samsung has bin avin declining profits for d past 2 and a half years now.. Das y dey tried sometin different wit d s6.. But in sony's case still d same rectangular shit..even d z5 is no different.. All dis problems started because of d emergence of chinese oems.. They give good value for money.. Take a look at xiaomi, meizu.. They ve got all d features a smartphone shud av.. From fingerprint to even iris scanning technology.. All for a very cheap price..d truth is dat HTC is diein, sony is dieing, samsung has bin aving declining profits, all because of chinese oems.. Das y I love sammy.. Always trying sometin new.. U can see d s6 edge.. They even have their own operating system nw.. Tizen.. Just in case android bleeps up.. They av their own soc..exynos, they av deir own camera division, isocell used in some s5, av their own screen division Amoled,.. Das just it.. Everybody is feeling d heat.. Its how to maneuver ur way out.. Das wat makes u a good company..

Martin loves arguing and he hates Samsung and Android. Even if you present the facts, he would still argue. Nothing beat AMOLED. Like you rightly said OLEDs are expensive, Apple will jump ship into OLED when its quite cheaper(stingy company) but they couldn't let go of it hence the usage on the Apple watch.

Sony sells 7 million smartphones in 3-months. Apple sells more that in 3-days when a new iPhone is released. That you own an Xperia phone doesn't mean everything is alright with Sony. It would interest you to know that Sony didn't make a single profit from its Xperia business in the 3rd quarter of 2015.

If Sony does't care about us, it should care when investors call for its head.

Lol
I think you're right

SmooshCHN:
I know what i'm saying, there's nothing like "wrong" type of Xperia and I've stated how good the phone is performance wise my only problem is the digitizer the touch glass. Someone else on this thread also has experienced the same twice. And I bought my sony Xperia z2 new in Hong Kong a month after release. The issue is with durability. Once that glass cracks, the beast becomes useless till you repair it.

Ok, you might be right, mine is the ''c'' class, I don't know bout the z series, lemme stick to my ''c'' series
Re: How Come Nobody Cares About Xperia Smartphones? by Dayg88(m): 7:17pm On Dec 11, 2015

Hello, we are talking about Sony xperia z, and not Sony xperia c. Xperia z is flagship while xperia c is mid range phone. Though both have the same design, they are completely different. It's like comparing a Samsung Galaxy s with a Samsung Galaxy grand.

The xperia z series are waterproof and I think it's more of a disadvantage as the screen is glued together with the phones body. So when u drop it and have a little crack ,screen becomes non responsive, and the worse thing is u can't even change the screen alone, u have to change the complete body of the phone which is expensive. I've chnaged mine 2 times, it also happened with a friend of mine, and someone here also said he changed his 4 times. That's no coincidence.

Lol
Lemme stick to defending the ''C'' series. But wait, I tot we are talking bout Xperia in general. Mine has never given me an issue before tho.....

I love my Sony Xperia z3. What else do you want in a phone? Is it camera? Is it graphics? Is it the battery duration? The thing is if you are not a Sony Xperia user you cannot know the value and sweetness of Sony Xperia. Note: don't even compare it with iPhone cos am using both phones. Sony Xperia z3 beats my iPhone 5 flawlessly in terms of everything.

my cousins would throw my z2 on the floor n i pick it up wivout bothering (dat gorilla glass tho )i heart melted each my iphone slipped embarassed cry (stil got many cracks)
d z2 has a 12mp back camera beats d iphones bt somhow the iphone pics looks much beta (display ish)
am relatively safe in lagos wiv my z2 dan my iphone shocked (cos d price tag is nt imprinted on errbody's mind as a "big" fone)
the z2 obviously has a bigger screen beta dan d iphone 5 and the android apps jst make u all 'love dis shii'
abeg lemme cut it short ....in functionality, dependability and durability.... i buy my Xperia Z2 five more time before i would consider d iphone

Re: How Come Nobody Cares About Xperia Smartphones? by Frontier2: 3:07pm On Jan 03, 2016
Poor marketing strategy. Even if you produce the best phones in the world without sound and target - driven marketing plan you gonna fail. They should ask the likes of tecno and infinix why they are selling like recharge cards.
Another thing is the pricing of their devices. The android mobile market is saturated so a good pricing system and adequate publicity will save them the loss they are experiencing now

There's no remedy, u have to change the whole screen, digitizer with the whole back cover. That is the problem with these xperia z phones. The digitizer is so wack, any small crack the whole screen or some parts of the screen stop working and u have to change the complete phone casing. Stupid phone if u ask me. Read through the thread u will see different people with the same problem.
