And Sony HAVE to stop relying on Qualcomm. Less than a 10% upgrade in what, 18 months when the s810 finally releases? And remember how we all mocked the earlier octa-core vendors for having each cluster of cores running at the same frequency? Qualcomm too will suffer from that issue, LOL. Again, with a custom solution, this wouldn't have been an issue.
Not that Qualcomm should not be publicly flogged for dragging their feet on the Krait upgrade for so long, but the A57 cores in the S810 are much faster than the A15 (which is faster than Krait by a hair). Compared to A15, you're looking at roughly a 25-50% performance increase.

I've had none to begin with. Yet, it does not make what I said any less valid or less true.

Sony is irrelevant in lagdroid space with 2% market-share. Doing 2 flagships per year with no carrier deals in the US is suicidal in all and every aspect. It's just plain out stupid, like most things Sony do nowadays. If they don't offer a WP solution next year, they will truly champion the crown of stupidity among Japanese high-tech corps.
Pretty sure that killed any credibility you might have otherwise had...

China seems to be where the money is at now, look at the results from Apple they made huge revenue there last year.
Sony would be better off making money there than in the US where Apple have such a strong hold and Samsung spend $$$ on advertising, operators will mainly sell phones that people want, if people see XX amount of ads for Samsung a lot of them will want those phones.

You're right in that you had no credibility to begin with. Doesn't change how wrong you are.
Sony needs to release a WP handset to become relevant?
Sony has less than 2% of the android phone market?
Do you have proof of this, or are you just chatting shit?

OT Now that there's thee days left to Sony's Q2 financial results announcement, how many units do you think they sold in in Q2? What is your prediction for net and operating profit? I guess around 9.8 million units with around $10 million net loss and a brake even op profit.

I don't think Sony will ever to really well in China, for political reasons. As soon as there is a diplomatic spat over the islands, which is bound to happen, anti-Japanese sentiment becomes inflamed and sales suffer.
I think they should stick to Europe, tackle the US and maintain their good momentum in India - all large markets.

If the PS4 does well in China, Xperia smartphones may do wel, merely by association.
Too early to say really.

Actually, I think the diplomatic situation between China and Japan tends to only happen in brief flashes, things tend to cool down quite quickly, and the height of the anti-Japanese sentiment is not Sony's key smartphone market.
Those who are young (below 35), male and with disposable income tend to be more open minded.. and choose Samsungs
.
Most over 40/45 want iPhones or this really peculiar dual-sim Samsung flip phone. Young girls want iPhones.
Sony will do well to compete with young techy males and pick up any strays from the young female groups.
As for the PS4, is it officially available in China? I know the Wii was never allowed to be on sale properly, although it was a ban that was widely ignored. I don't remember the exact reasoning for the console ban but I felt it was to do with Wii having it's own built-in web browser (which would also put every other modern console out).

Sony will announce three devices at IFA. Xperia Z3 and Z3 compact and an 8" tablet. All will have the same internals and design.
All 3 should release the last week of September in most European markets. In the US the Z3 will come to Verizon and the release date will be decided by Verizon.(The device is tested and ready for production) Z3 compact will be sold unlocked in the US and it is supposed to have CDMA support.
