Sony makes the most per phone of any Android maker's

They're the best phones on the market with the most profit for the creators. Sadly they also sell near the bottom of the list so that cancels out.

My Xperia Z2 would like to have a word with you. I hate that phone!

It freezes all the time, loses touch capability so that you have to shut it off over a physical button combination, gets features patched out with Android updates.
My phone is of such great build quality that the back glass just broke during the night while charging (in it's first 10 days) and the lid that hides the sd card slot doesn't stay closed.

So no, Sony doesn't make the best phones. Samsung makes better phones, and for the record: I don't like Samsung.

Your personal experience doesn't supercede the fact that the Xperia line is top of the line in battery life, camera quality, and near the top in processing speed, and that it's ahead of the curve with features (such as water resistance, which was a feature of the first Xperia Z but is just in the last year getting adopted by other lines of Android phone).  Hell, it's near the top in crack resistance too, and if we want to get anecdotal to counter out your anecdotes my original Z has one scratch on it after almost three years, and I literally threw that thing around after a while because I was waiting for it to break so I could justify using my free upgrade lol.  The only problems it has are with install base and that it can get warm sometimes depending on how intensively you use it.  Though admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of how the Android 6 update cut out Stamina/Ultra Stamina mode, but at the same time the native Android battery saver seems to be doing about as well, so it is what it is.
