Sony smartphones ARE Android aren't they? |
Yes, but that's not what they were trying to say. The latest Sony phones are premium just as much as the better Samsung smartphones. While there are low cost Android phones available competing in the market, older Android powered Sony phones are just as affordable. The author is just falsly associating the quality and price of Sony products in other markets to this one. Which isn't the authors worse mistake since he mistanslated or twisted the words of the article he cites to make it sound like Sony said they would buy Samsung or Apple in the future, even though it was a joke more about Samsung setting its sights on buying Apple and how Sony isn't so crazily ambitious. (At least that's how I read the direct translation) So yeah the author essetially reported that Sony said the opposite of what they did so I wouldn't really listen to anything they have to say.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
