5 million Xperia for q4.Given how bad last year portfolio was,I m surprised by the results.The only worthy device released in 2016 was Xperia XZ. X Performance and X compact were huge disappointments.As for Xperia X it's only worthy now at 300euros,and not at 600 which was the initial launch price.Lets hope 2017 will be a better year. |

LG has trademarked the term "G6 Compact". Picking up where Sony left off.
Do you think we're ever likely to see anything like a flagship Compact phone from Sony ever again? I wondering how long I should be holding onto my Z5 Compact.

I think Sony will be back with a fully fledged mini flagship at the end of 2017, at least I hope so.

Given how many new android manufacturers have appeared in the last few years, it is not surprising to see this.
What I really want to know is how much the XZ has sold over the last quarter because if majority of that is the XZ, then that is not bad at all  |

I'm sorry,I love Sony to death and have been a fan of Sony Ericsson since 2001,but 2016 wasn't a good year for Sony Mobile.Xperia XZ is probably the only worthy device released in 2016 and even that could have been so much better in terms of battery,RAM and screen resolution. |

@goldenface: I know that feel bro  .
@XperiaJunkie: I'm really hoping that you're right.
This is the fourth cut to full year Xperia shipment forecasts during the year.
http://www.xperiablog.net/201[....]rtphones-sold-in-last-quarter/
So basically after each quarter this year they lowered their full year forecast, now to 15 million units. At least they are making profit, which is anyway their key focus at the moment.
Phones:
W800i | K800i | K850i | W902 | Xperia S | Xperia Z1 Compact | Xperia Z5 Compact | Xperia XZ1 Compact
Firmwares:

Yeah but the sad thing is that they are making those profits by milking their fanbase. The value price ratio for sony devices has never been this bad. If they keep this up they will only keep shrinking |

Through thick and thin  . No seriously, you’re right and it’s a bit of shame. Hopefully we'll all get rewarded again for our endurance and passion at some point.

The screen resolution is not a problem at all to sub 5.5 or even 6 inch display. The Xperia XZ's display is definitely one the better I have used.
RAM is something I wish they could have increased, because 4GB would make a difference.
I just feel Sony are cutting corners too often. The finger print scanner is a joke. the slight moist on your finger make it impossible to unlock your phone without your pin code. The design which most users here seem to like is a miss for me.

Just curious, when is someone gonna sticky this thread to the top of the page? Kinda silly to have previous years rumor threads up there and this one further down.
New Sony smartphone sensor with built in DRAM looks promising:
https://www.slashgear.com/son[....]sor-has-its-own-dram-06474100/
It can capture an image in 1/120th of a second that would previously have required 1/30th of a second. And it can support up to 1000 FPS at 1920x1080 resolution! |
