Sony was always pretty good at being a designer and manufacturer of parts for other countries. So for them to get back to that is a good thing. They should probably drop the Xperia line and and move the resources to focus more on this as it is far more profitable for them.

they shouldn't drop the xperia line, as sales for the xperia line are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than a year ago... and continue to grow...

the z1 takes a dump on the s4

I agree.

They will never be able to compete sales wise with the top 2 but any number of other compnaies could be top3.  I expect Sony and Nokia to be in and out of the top 3 and top 4 regularly over the coming years.

Btw, lots of phones are, as a whole, better than the S4 imo (dump isnt the right word really is it), the Xperia X1 is better, my current nokia is also better imo.  They are a better whole experience, pleasing hardware in the hand is  big thing for me.... no samsung has ever had that up to now for me.  People are obsessed by tech stats as if they actually matter to most people or in most circumstances.

i wouldn't be so sure about that. i think in this industry every company can lose the interest of customers including samsung. not this or next year but maybe in 5 years or 10 years. i really don't believe that the mass market will be always on samsung's site and a company like sony will never have a chance to have a phone line as successful as the galaxy.
