I didn't say Sony should abandon China, it is one of the key market that Sony should consider for future Growth
However, other Developing Countries are also important.... lets see
ASEAN Nations: Estimated Population around 600 millions
India: Around 1 Billions
South America: Estimated around 400 millions

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[....]ion_of_Southeast_Asian_Nations
They are all the key market for budget phones, and there are still rooms for Sony to have growth in those markets

I think Sony should stick to premium phones Sony has to be the Apple in Android ecosystem nobody can do better.
How can Sony compete with ZTC,Huawei,Micromax,oppo,Karbonn,Lava,Zolo these companies offer very cheap smartphones.

I think there are plenty of ways they can do to lower cost (in making Budget Phones):
Outsourcing ODM and OEM to makes budget devices
Corporate with Local carriers and retailers to offer low entry phones?
And the most important: Introduce New brand that only specialized in Budget devices
Leave the Xperia Brand for Mid range and Premium products

Yea but Nokia always do sacrifices like WP8 and use symbian till 2011
And also its revolution was in Camera(not important for everyone you know)
About c670x it's rumored to be released in the middle of the year which the announcement should 2 months before
Which meets in the April event which Sony will hold
Don't you think so?

Unless they are targeting the ultra-low-end/really dirt cheap segment, it would not be necessary for a new brand name or OS. Probably miro or tipo cheap, no deeper and they would lose the Sony premium feel down there. Besides, I haven't seen any cheapo device or TVs from Sony. They all look and feel premium.

I think I remember pages ago, probably quoting zomgbbqftw or someone else, that Sony would not be doing that 2-month-after-announcement wait anymore like how they had been doing. So, I guess Q3 for C670X, the same month for announcement and release.

The strategy should be the same. Bring good innovations in mid-range devices. Like back in
days, we had cybershot & walkman phones while the premium was touchscreen. That was a very good strategy since it was diversified neatly and the products stood out in it's own way.

But don't you think it's useless to hold events for low-end and mid ranger phones xD

For Sony I think the best event right now to announce the 2H flagship is at E3. Considering the PS4's reveal and the interaction it will have with smartphones it would create a big splash, especially if it has killer specs etc...

I wish they would make up their minds and focus on one goal. Profitability is more important than market share and premium devices have a greater margin, this is what their recent strategy was said to be.
I'm not sure exactly what is to be gained by being able to bragg that you're #3 in global shipments if that comes at the cost of profitability because Sony just isn't known for hundred million selling bargain basement phones like Nokia is.
