Spot on! As a owner of many Xerpia phones over the last 10 years or so, I find it very difficult to support the brand in the last few years because of the reasons you've mentioned, despite me knowing they are an amazing product that stands out from the rest, they just need to even out their offering a little more and launch it properly and they'll be great again.

Man, Sony phones live in my heart and head rent-free. My first smartphone was a Sony phone, and not even a flagship. It was a budget phone, and I loved the fact it could keep up with all my tasks until its android version was too old to get updates for apps and stuff. Plus, I accidentally dropped it from the fifth floor, so it died a fighter. I really loved how personal it could get if you used a phone for a while—after two years out of five we had together, I knew everything about it. If something did not work or happened, I knew how to fix it or what was happening. I knew all the quirks and the ways around them. When they cut down their budget segment I was a student who couldn't afford buying his own phones, then, they holed up in their flagship segment releasing only flagship for niche price. I still wish for them to make a comeback and take over the phone sector. Love Sony <3

From a Japanese perspective...
Japanese 3 major cell phone carrier has "Spring Collection" and "Autumn Collection," and I think it might be one of the factors for long waiting period; you just have to know which cycle your desired phone is on.
Many of the Japanese companies, not limited to smart phone makers, are so fixed on the domestic market first. In this regard, the Japanese car makers have adjusted well for the motor shows to compete with the world stage, but then EV came along and they are well behind again.
I had to get a new phone last year, and my phone's spec sheet wasn't even complete, yet the phone carriers were saying "Reserve the Phone" before the going into the market day, and in my case, even on the day the phone was going to the market... I had to depend on phone case maker (my phone's spec sheet was missing the thickness lol)
Japan is a tad bit weird place, and it seems smart phone makers can't let go of the golden era of flip phones we had here in Japan.
I believe SONY is the only Japanese smart phone maker which sells worldwide? I think SONY doesn't know what the worldwide users want...

If Sony wants to compete, remember 3 things
1. Reasonable price
2. Reduce minor bugs
3. Sack the marketing team (No one try to introduce the product and release it after 2 month when everybody’s excitement is over)
I never used Sony phone, but I am really glad of their keeping 3.5mm and sd card, and like their design aesthetics.
In this iPhone and Galaxy market, we need a competitor like Xperia.
Please keep up

For this year's blind smartphone camera test you should have two Xperia one V's in the bracket; one on auto mode and one where you manually adjust image settings to fine tune the 'ideal' picture.
Would be interesting to see how a well tuned/adjusted sony phone can compete with the pixel, iphone, and samsung flagships

I had a SONY Xpreria V1 with verizon way back in the day. I loved that phone the dedicated camera button, it was one of the first water resistant phones out, it had a lot of great features. But it wasn't supported at all by SONY. I remember my biggest issue with it was that you couldn't talk on the phone and browse the web simultaneously. I also loved the feel of the phone.

Biggest problem with Sony in my experience, is that they tend to drop support for their devices much sooner than other companies.
