Sony sold over 4 Million Xperia Z in 40 days

Being first at anything certainly has its perks, and who better to tell us this than Sony who according to analyst said sold more than 4-million of their current flagship device in less than two months.

This success is attributed to the fact that the Xperia Z lacked a strong competition in the 5-inch, 1080p category. Even though HTC beat Sony to the punch when the Taiwanese firm released the HTC Butterfly, it didn’t gain too much traction on the market.

Furthermore, the handset is just simply awesome both inside and out. The deadly combo of gorgeous IP57-certified glass body and quad-core processor with 2GB RAM made it an easy choice for those who are looking for a top of the line handset.

Unfortunately, the source didn’t mention where it got the sales information besides citing “analyst”. Nevertheless, from what we saw from the Xperia Z, it’s got the tools to pull this kind of numbers. You can check out our full review of the Sony Xperia Z here.

    A friend of mine bought the white Z last night and he was showing us the retail package. I was impressed by the looks and the weight of the phone.

    To whoever said na ngayon lang gumawa ng phone yung sony, try to research a bit. They were making phones since 1997. Then they partnered with Ericsson and then went solo again.

    Goodluck na lang sa mga nakabili. I have this phone and its so boring. There’s a lot of bugs. Sleep of death issue. Update is so slow. They promised to fix the issue but still waiting for it. I must say LG Optimus G is way far better than Xperia Z.

      Bakit kailangan magmura para sa isang unit ng phone? Opinyon nya yan eh. At yan ang experience nya sa xperia z dahil meron cya nun. Ako may xperia pero wala pa naman problem so far. Nataon siguro na defective nabili nya. Sony admit that may software issue nga sila. Kaya i think he is experiencing lags and sleep of death.

    I agree with Yusuf. Kahit anong ganda ng phone ng Sony if hinde sila ganun kasipag mag update ng mga unit nila, no use! I bought last year ng Sony Xperia Sola, wala pang 1 year wala na makuhang update and I compared to other much high end Xperia device, same scenario. Di na talag ako bibili ng Sony phone.

    With that price tag, they managed to sell 4 million units (assuming that the sources are true). Wonders how many would have been sold if they priced it lower. >_<

      Haha, nagkalat n trolls ng LG, kya nman mas mabenta ang LG when it comes to TV’s kz mas mura tlga xa wen compared to SONY. Bumili kz aq ng tv recently at un ung napansin ko. Pero xempre mapapansin mo tlga ung premium feel ng SONY products over LG. When it comes to phones ngaun lng tlga naging solo ang SONY ung mga phone last year was designed under SONY ERICSSON pa. So meaning bago palang ang sila when it comes to mobile phones. Even tough n mas matagal n LG sa paggawa ng android phones mabagal din cla mag update ng OS, mabagal lng ung SONY mag update ng phones nila na designed under Ericsson which was the Xperia S/P/U/Sola at Go, pero ung phones released by mid 2012 like Xperia V/T/TX/E and others ay updated na sa jellybean 4.1.2. Like nung asa Optimus g.

      BAKIT SILA KAMO NAGHIWALAY? KASI NGA NALUGI SILA AT NILAMPASAN SILA NG LG NOONG 2007-2008 SA THIRD SPOT, AT TULUYAN SILANG DI NA NAKABAWI…

      ANG LG NAMAYAGPAG DIN SILA NUNG MGA PANAHON NA YON KASO A YEAR AFTER BUMAGSAK DIN SILA PERO NGUN BUMABAWI NA DIN SILA…

    • Avatar for LG TV LG TV says:

      cheaper price?
      YES!
      THAT’S A GOOD ADVANTAGE NG LG OVER SONY.
      MAS OKAY NA ANG QUALITY AT MAS MURA PA ANG PRICE.

      F.Y.I. is sa pinaka reason kung bakit mas mahal ang SONY ay dahil sa mahal din ang ginagastos nila sa AD!
      at HINDI dahil sa mas maganda ang quality nila!

    I’m glad that Sony is doing well with Xperia Z. I like the commercial for this smartphone, and Sony really deserves attention. I got to try it a few days ago, but it didn’t feel right on my hands. :( The rectangular shape with no round edges felt like holding a scientific calculator. But I do hope that Sony sell more of these babies! :)
