Sony has a loyal fan base since the Sony mobiles appeared in the market. If you will ask any Sony user about their mobiles, I’m sure they’d loved it. Sony leaders have always quoted that Sony never compromised on the hardware that is why these mobiles are not affordable.
After exiting from American and Asian market, Sony quoted, “We will continue to monitor the market situations and business feasibility in the country to launch back the smartphones in the Indian market”. But, Chinese and South-Korean players are currently dominating the Indian Smartphone market. This makes a little chance for Sony mobiles to make a comeback in the Indian market.
