Well this wouldn't and doesn't totally surprise me if it happens.

Sony haven't made any phone worth really talking about since the 1st Z and the Z4 seems to be a Z3 with a S810 chip and not much else and Lollipop seems to still not be out for any of Sony's phones if I'm not mistaken? Its a tough market for them, competitors at every corner, many of them having a ton of resources and aggressive marketing.

Apple, Samsung and LG are pushing hard and you now have Motorola with the backing of Lenovo expanding into more regions once again, there is HTC who seem to be doing nicely in a niche that Sony could have had and finally there is Huawei who seem to want to be the next Samsung, it all seems a bit much for Sony.

I wish them luck, but I won't miss them if they do exit, I miss what Sony Ericsson was.

I made the jump to Nexus and proper android two years ago (Phone and tablet) never looked back, fast devices sensible pricing and no manufacturer bloatware. I have never rated Sony as a sw developer every Sony camera/ movie camera i ever owned came with dreadful untested memory hogging sw. Sony's original android phone UI was full of fancy tricks and was all about form rather than function the problem was it did not work! They destroyed Symbian with a lack of quality development and poor testing ( I owned an example of the P series) Maybe things have improved but it would take a lot to get me to risk my money buying Sony ever again.
