How Come Nobody Cares About Xperia Smartphones? by TechRez(m): 7:24am On Dec 10, 2015
Sony, like Apple has a notorious way of pushing grossly over-priced devices in the market. Spot the difference, Apple got an escape route in marketing and hyping whatever has their logo on it like it’s the coming of the anti-Christ.

While Apple seems to have attracted love in the U.S., Sony has been moving into a downward spool, majorly because of its Xperia mobile business that continues to put itself in loss.

Xperia smartphones are decent; they have got incredible specifications and features. In fact, Sony pioneered water-resistance gimmicks; recently it launched the world's first 4k smartphone which happens to be the Xperia Z5 Premium that has failed to get a breath in the U.S.

In July 2015, the company posted its worse quarter result in three years; the major cause was its damning Xperia Mobile business, now the life-wire of Sony lies on the success of the PS4.

Sony keeps pushing out great products but no one gives a hoot, people don’t even notice!

Could it be their generic marketing having a field day on their products? Gamers in the last generation could remember how Sony almost shot itself with its marketing of the PS3. It took the effort of Kelvin Butler who started the “it only does everything campaign” to get the gaming device out of its shell.

Sony needs to re-evaluate its marketing strategy and stop creating smartphones with alien features that less that 1% of smartphone users care about.

It would be dis-heartening to see the likes of less powerful Samsung phones selling like hot-cakes while Xperia smartphones keep collecting dust in store-shelves.

Even iPhone doesn't come close to Xperia phones in the real sense. It's just brand perception that's the problem here. IMO

Its too expensive.
Used one xperia neo then, less than 1GB ram cost 40k plus when infinix , Tecno etc give 1GB ram or more for lesser price. .
They better get off Nigeria market otherwise, the phones will gather dust tire.

N.b
The xperia mentioned, died before clocking a year. undecided

The cost is the issue, why would I as a Nigerian go for Xperia when I can get same spec with infinix for half of the price? We don't generally value brand in the country

Who cares about a phone that would just switch off itself and never on again.
A phone always fighting with virus.

It's Goodwill dear.
Same reason indomie doesn't need too much advert. I have never operated an iphone, but I think excess goodwill is working for them.

If apple decides to produce waste bin tomorrow, it would spread like wildfire.

Sony needs to up their marketing. I still have this feeling they're better at electronics...
