Why Don't People Buy Sony Smartphones?

1. The only thing that Sony would have to do to sell these phones is just marketing them. Seriously, if Sony gave their phones a quarter of the ad time that Apple gives the iPhone, Motorola gives their phones and that Sony themselves gives to PlayStation's and PlayStation related products – sales would jump like ten-fold. I don't own the Xperia – I bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max because I wanted to see what iOS was like for once. Now that I know, next time I'm in the market, if I'm looking for something a little more off the beaten path and Sony was still making these, I'd totally go for it.

2. The camera looks amazing!

3. Xperia’s marketing director must be like the son of former Japan prime minister to not lose his job after failing a great phone like this.

   And the mystery of Xperia’s incredibly bad marketing department continues ~~

4. My xperia z3 dual is 5 years old.. 4k camera, and use it as drone fpv monitor.. So what's the logic in replacing my old xperia?

5. Probably because major tech sites and bloggers are paid to bash them, or perhaps Sony refuses to buy their support.

6. they don`t buy these cause they like stupid notch on theyr screen

7. After owning an Xperia Z5 Premium years ago, I was converted. Bought the 1ii and love it so far

8. Sony should add a feature that works with a PS controller and plays PS5 games from the cloud and remarket their phones as the PlayStation phone

9. Why is 21:9 not 7:3?

10. Because it's expensive and terrible

11. Sony should sponsor the few users coz they would influence others to buy them. More Xperia than the ? phone.

12. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

13. I buy Sony smart phones because it's the only phone brand that has survived being trampled by a crowd of people, dropped from numerous heights/angles. Samsung on the other hand cracks at the thought of being dropped. Same for iPhone. They are solid devices.

14. Now with the new Mark 3 sony just repeated their launching strategy. But I pre ordered a xperia 1 mark 3 because it is the only flagship with a flat screen, a headphone jack and a fingerprint sensor not build in the display. Everything I ever wanted for a flagship.

15. Oe8p

16. To be honest XIOMI REDMI REALME
    Kills all this big company like sony moto lg coz they are over price ..yes they are over price thats all …

17. because I'm not paying $1300 for a phone.

18. I love my Xperia XZ1, but now they don't even sell to Brazil anymore. I want a new Sony, but can't even find a newer Xperia to import (and when I have found one, from Germany, I'd just discovered that there is a 100% fee asked from Amazon to deal with the importation). The Xperia already is expensive, and a 100% fee turns it almost impossible to be bought in my country, where the USD/BRL (or EUR/BRL) ratio is already very prohibitive.

19. I didn't even know Sony made smartphones until watching this video. I can see your point.

20. People mentality is cheap prices, the cheaper phones the more they buy phones and upgrade every year. It's like they want to collect budget phones.

21. Sony best I have my Sony Xperia L1 for 5 or 6 years now! But now I will buy a new Smartphone after that very, very long time of using my Xperia L 1 it will be a Sony of course! The Sony Xperia L5 II

22. Sony was sony. Sony is Sony.

23. My first bought phone was a sony z3 compact, ngl after i upgraded to other phones it didnt feel the same. Now since i need a new phone I went out and got this phone.

24. I'm 13 and my second phone was a Sony, waterproof, beautiful and i loved it, then BOOM my third phone Sony Xperia 10 ii, i love it with my heart and soul, and then there's my friend, saying that my phone sucks and that iphone works 100 times better, she has the newest Iphone 12 pro or something, and she tried to go to Google and… it doesn't open it as fast as my phone does, and she says MY phone is trash
    Like c'mon

25. Sony is great,, the best,, their phones are reaaly cool, even the apple owners are sayin my Sony s great,, so come back Sony,, please

26. been years since i've seen a sony's phone around , i wonder who buying then nowadays .

27. Why don't you use Sony phones as your daily driver, Marques?

28. I buy sony phones.

29. Just changed my Huawei to Sony because end of Google support. And can say after few weeks that this looks really great phone. Didn't want Apple or Samsung cause hating the general thinking like those are the 2 only options…

30. ayyy I'm luuuuvin the "Mk ii" name so much imma def get the Mk III….might even get a special custom TMNT III case based off our childhood (80s/90s kids) movie's vhs box art! yeeyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

31. Xperia at 700€ every years, after 2/3 maybe 4 years it would be one of the most popular smartphone. Yes they will lose a loooooot but in the end, it doesn't even really matter.

32. want xperia 1 ii…

    but my wallet isn't afford for it

33. Sony is actually a pretty amazing all rounder. They have play station, good phones, audio that will make you cry in amazement. I think we just want them to be even more daring in the phone and laptop region. Marcquess, if you don’t mind, could you talk to them about this, I mean they’ll listen to you better… probably… idk

34. It's crazy how you never see Sony phones being sold at dealers like Verizon or T-Mobile despite how good they are.

35. I used a lot of Sony Smartphones in the past. Never was dissapointed of them. Acutually I was forced to switch to Samsung but that was my biggest mistake… next one will be a Sony Smartphone again… I hope they dont die once a day

36. I want… but it is so expensive… cannot afford to have it

37. I always hear his name as "I'm Kimmy HD"

38. what i appreciate about sony is that i feel like they don't try to compete, they just produce unique phones with nice quality.

39. good guy sony meme earned my like
