I like Sony as well, but you’re right they never really found their place in the smartphone market. Which is a shame, their “dumb” phones were top notch.
I don’t know if they never found a place, they definitely had many phones that were cohesive packages of many features that specifically satisfy the needs of a clearly definable group of people, even if it’s a niche group.
The question is whether they will be able to maintain that place, and the future seems rather bleak on that lately :(
Well, I meant some kind of mainstream, financially sustainable market. Their phones are definitely overpriced, which is IMO precisely because of their smaller marketshare.
And yeah, their mobile division is definitely going down in the near-ish future unless something changes.
Their pre-smartphone era phones were simply amazing and even the early Android era phones were really great.
