There are certain brands of phones who are in my not to buy list. N Sony is one of them. They dont give any firmware updates n after sales sucks. They just sell the phone. Hibernate for 2years n come up with a new model. Push sales n the cycle repeats itself
Worst still, Sony phones are hard to root, making DIY updates a pain in the ass.There are certain brands of phones who are in my not to buy list. N Sony is one of them.

Sony is one of the brands tat is particularly badMost Android phones are like that. You want software updates for 5-6 years after the phone's release, get an iPhone.
Selling phones it's not on Sony's to do list. They earn more selling their tech like camera sensors etc. Sell phones is like a side showWorst still, Sony phones are hard to root, making DIY updates a pain in the ass.
The best decision they ever made was buy over Minolta.Selling phones it's not on Sony's to do list. They earn more selling their tech like camera sensors etc. Sell phones is like a side show
This is just my analysis. Sony no longer depends on consumer products to earn money. They are more into selling tech and parts. Sony image sensors to mobile phones etc . They earn no matter what. So why bother with selling phones directly n have to invest in firmware updates etc. So their mobile phones is a sideshow and its stupid for us to buy their phones as there is no support . I prefer samsung as they supply updates as mobiles are their bread n butterThe best decision they ever made was buy over Minolta.
Sony is not the only kid on the block doing sensors. Toshiba, Samsung and several Israel companies are also supply sensors to camera and phone makersThis is just my analysis.
