But their mobile division keeps mucking up whatever sensors they get through poor software and lack of features like ois

Xperia 1 don't even use all sensors from Sony.
The designer revealed that previously the noise cancellation algorithm was compressed into jpeg then remove noise.

Now they adopted the same method like alpha series.
Remove noise in raw then compress into jpeg.

Other companies already doing so, if Xperia 1 do so, confirm will be better than other companies.

So many phones using Sony camera sensors... so if one still wants to support Sony, one can buy those phones using Sony camera sensors. :s13:

Lol. It doesn't work like this.
Sony OS UI also one of the best among all Android phones.

I am using Huawei now but guess I won't be buying another Huawei in future.

Guess the mobile division is directly handle by the top person in Sony, so camera department also helps on their eye autofocus and nosie reduction.

Xperia 1 really gives people high hope.

In the first place, competition is never internal.
Their short foresight leads to their downfall today.
No matter how good their software optimization is, consumers are suckers for raw hardware.
Let's hope it's not too late if they wake up their idea now.

more like they were afraid the mobile "cannibalize" the camera dept if its too good.


same as why Kodak refused to adopt digital cameras (coz film was their main business)

Not always sucker for raw hardware. If yes then all top of the line hardware should be best seller. But look at ps4 and Xbox.

Because Samsung has a very wide spread and diverse portfolio and they do fix their problems time to time. Sony definitely is a step behind in marketing, and they also never really fixed their issues like camera overheating

They chose not to, either ignoring or refusing.

First time I heard sammy fixes things from time to time.

I never know how my previous sammy galaxy phones get worse after each new android version.
I must be living in the quantum realm. :s13:

Only my sony phones keep the same good performance after updates.

There are many Samsung phones with guaranteed Security updates.
