I think he meant that the end of cell phones for Sony is coming. They are getting out of that business cuz their phones suck and don't sell.

Their phones are the best. They're the only ones who put flagship quality in their smaller Z versions, unlike Samsung and the others who cheap out.

What a stupid comment from Kaz. If anything, smartphones are gonna replace more and more devices. Wallets are on their way out, point and shoot cameras are dead, camcorders are dead etc

.... and smartphones are gonna play an important rule in powering your future VR experiences, controlling your smarthomes etc

Smartphones are evolving, just because the smartphones you make aren't pushing boundaries, it doesn't mean other manufactures are in the same boat.

You're not a visionary bruh, get some vision, you fail to think 2 steps ahead. Nothing is everlasting, who knows what type of technology will come next and when but it sure as hell won't be smartphones forever.

Funny thing about mobiles. I've bought and Sony Xperia, and a Samsung Galaxy (don't remember their models) 2 years ago, and they all broke down in more or less 4/5 months. First blow and their screen was cracked.

So, I was tired and bought and Alcatel supossedly shitty mobile (60€). It went through successive blows because I'm fucking careless with mobiles, and it's still intact. So I think I'll still buying bad mobiles, I'm happy with them xDDDD.

I agree with that. What'll it be? Who knows? An evolution of the smartphone perhaps

VR is a peripheral. Therefore it ain't replacing shit. As for smartphones,Apple, Samsung and HTC own that field, so I guess Kaz is speaking for his company.

HTC?

Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Lenovo and Xiaomi.

SONY latest phones might be good, certainly not the best lol, but it was a very rough road until they got it right. Before that, their phones disappointed in everyway, hardware and software wise. Xperia Z, their first great phone that wasn't trashed by the critics,  and it was released in 2013. You can't expect people to come back when they disappointed them for years before that. Their image as a smartphone manufacturer was too damaged at that point.

Lol@SONY phones being the best, that's why you should stick to reviewing games on metacritics

False again. The Xperia Z has received mostly positive reviews from critics.

Checked few links, and they all agree the phone is good? Where is the trashing?

I actually misread your post. Nevermind.

So you edited your post.

You should read what I said again, the xperia Z was NOT trashed by the reviews. Most SONY's attempts at making a good smartphone fell short, until the Xperia Z was introduced. 

I only added more links. I was mistaken. I misread your post. Yes, Xperia Z received mostly positive reviews from critics.
