Mark 8 will be Asia-only .
There is a simple solution, dear Sony, lower the prices. Eventually extend warranty.
AntonelPAPI, 27 Aug 2025Your 3 buyers will appreciate it.That would still be more sales than chinese ultras combined
Assembling own phone again would solve it.
All those 5 units that needed replacing. Oof.
Good. This is how a company should respond to consumers. Sony seems to set a high standard when it comes to their products.
Can happen with all brands. You must be lucky when buying any device. An expensive pair of earbuds can have many issues but a cheap pair can work fine. Same for laptops. Same for phones. Same for tvs. Same for cars. Same for everything.

Maybe they'll overcompensate and make the next phone a super Xperia
They can easily avoid all this; just stop making devices. It's clearly not their forte, be it phones, TV's, doesn't matter. Why bother, when the products aren't up to par, seems like a waste of resources.
I have to admit xiaomi has much better QC
Sony smartphones are manufactured by Huaqin Technology, a chineese OEM. This same OEM manufactures Asus smartphones.
Bot10Exists, 27 Aug 2025what happened to their QC?Didn't they outsource 1VII to China? Most Xperia 1 models are made in Thailand. Probably a cost-cutting method that backfired.
AntonelPAPI, 27 Aug 2025See, this post was about another product? Or was it just about Sony's phone division? Wel... moreyou literally mentioned the playstation. are you a pathological liar?
Sony has been committing a slow mobile suicide for years now. They are basically on life support. Give it max 3 years. Most of their other units are making a profit, and carrying this sad, loss-making unit that can barely keep up with the market with uninspired and buggy devices.

Bot10Exists, 27 Aug 2025what happened to their QC?Jeez you people think just because one issue happens that whole quality control has dropped and no other manufacturers have issues. Seriously 🙄
