Forums - Gaming - Sales Reports Suggest Sony's Xperia Z is a hit

eFKac on 12 March 2013

Can't blame people buying it. Looks spectacular. If it was only smaller than 5 inches it would be mine already, my 4.3" Xperia S is borderline for confortable using...



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Well deserved
The best android phone out the at the moment imo :)


Like HTC's One more but it will all be worse when Samsung releases their new S4.


Probably, for most people anyway.

Samsung sure make some great phones, but they need to work on their build quality and screens, never like that about their phones

Selling out != success.

Microsoft sold out of Surface tablets when they put them on sale. We saw how much of a "hit" that was.


You forgot to mention that these facts come to us by way of Digitimes. The Daily Mail of tech.

To those downplaying the sales:

Over the past few months, much ink has been spilled over whether Nokia (NOK) or BlackBerry (BBRY) have a chance to stage a strong recovery. After a dismal two years, Sony’s (SNE) chances in the smartphone market have largely been written off. However, over the past month the new Sony Xperia Z has shown remarkable strength in Europe and some Asian markets. In the second half of February, the Xperia Z sold out in Japan and France during its launch. And this wasn’t a small volume sell out — the phone shifted 140,000 units at Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo in one week.

The Xperia Z has also hit the top of the Expansys UK smartphone chart. It’s outselling the BlackBerry Z10 at Expansys France and is only one slot behind in Italy and Spain. Surprisingly, Xperia Z also took the top slot of the USwitch mobile tracker after debuting at number 2 in February. No other brand has been able to outsell Samsung Galaxy S III in the USwitch tracker since last summer; not Apple, not Nokia, not HTC. On the Phones4U “most popular contract phones” list of six models, the Xperia Z and Lumia 820 are the only two phones that aren’t made by Apple (AAPL) or Samsung (005930). The United Kingdom retailers seem to be giving Sony robust support in marketing the new flagship.

Excellent

and iirc during CES this year Kaz Hirai kind of hinted that they will focus on Japanese market first and then the EU market the most

It's a really nice phone. It caught my eye back at CES. If Sony ever gets a major US carrier to sell it over here, I'll get it as my next phone in 2014. It looks so legit.

I want a Play 2 :(. My OS is really starting to lag I almost need a replacement, but I don't wanna part with the controls. How's that controller addon people made for phones?
