It stacks up well against two office most popular phones out there so why does it lose so much money!
I think Sony need to make their phone stand out even more than the others by being different.
1) Removing android from its phones!
Android makes Sony blend in with all its other competitors (HTC Samsung LG) when Sony could use a mobile friendly version of the xmb found on 80+ million psp's 80+ million ps3's and 20 million ps4's. It is a operating system known world wide so it would not need an introduction plus it's easy to operate.
2) Sony has its own app store on android devices called "Sony select" granted it is tiny compare to Google play but it could so easily be built on if it was the main market place for their phones
3)Connecting more with playstation.
Sony already has a lot of features connecting Xperia devices with playstation, videos bought from pan can be streamed to your Xperia devices, z2 and Z3 can stream your Ps4.
They need to get more of their classic ps1/2 games and new indie developers to have a space on Sony select
Basically I think Sony have the means to save their Sony mobile division they just need to be more confident with the tech they already have rather than relying on android and blending into the mass market of other android phones out there
What do you guys think?
