"Why don't we sell more phones?"

Puts out a phone at 200% the cost per specs, ignores the biggest high end market and blows their marketing money 18 months early on every single release.

The couldn't do this worse if they tried.

Also removed themselves as the only player in the "compact" phone segment

I was a sony compact model user only for many years. Now, the smallest possible phone you can buy is samsung galaxy

Yeah I LOVED the Z5 compact. If they still made compacts I'd still have an Xperia now, but their current phones are way too long for my hands.

[–] WagesOf@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the thing is what, 36x9? They're banana phones or something now.

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not the Asus Zenfone series? They're pretty compact.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Same size as the galaxy.

[–] Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

If feels like 200$ too expensive more than anything else.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, for the price of the 256GB 5 V, I can get a Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 256GB, and possibly even save a few bucks in the process.
