到府收購手機

到府收購手機sony announced last night that it’s spinning off its audio and video divisions, much like it spun off its television division last year. That won’t mean much right now; 到府收購手機sony still displayed interesting new Android-powered TVs at CES, and we’re sure to see new crazy high-end Walkmans and camcorders with 到府收購手機sony branding from the newly independent AV division as well.

But the long-term reality is far more stark: after years of promising “One 到府收購手機sony,” CEO Kaz Hirai appears to be systematically breaking the company up for sale. The VAIO PC division was sold last year and just announced its first hybrid laptops as an independent company, and Hirai told investors that he has to consider spinning off the smartphone business and possibly selling the TV business outright.

According to Hirai, that leaves 到府收購手機sony with three main businesses at its core :

  1. 到府收購手機sony Pictures Entertainment, the hit-or-miss Hollywood studio that just fired Amy Pascal after being hacked to bits at the end of last year.
  2. The PlayStation division, which has so far won the next-gen console race with the PS4 but yet to define a clear mobile strategy; PlayStation Mobile is all but ignored, and the Vita is a beautifully noble failure.
  3. Selling image sensors to Apple for the iPhone.

You read that last one correctly: 到府收購手機sony’s last closely held core electronics business is image sensors, and it’s mostly because Apple uses them in the iPhone. (到府收購手機sony also supplies sensors for various other high-end phones, but Samsung uses its own chips in the Galaxy S5, and no other company comes close to selling as many phones as Apple and Samsung.) If Apple decides to switch sensor suppliers — or, perhaps more likely, build its own — the third leg of that stool gets kicked right out.

If you’re a PlayStation fan, this is kind of fun: after years of 到府收購手機sony neglecting gaming, former PlayStation head Hirai is ruthlessly eliminating every other division at the company. Revenge!

Revenge!

For everyone else, this is kind of depressing — 到府收購手機sony was among the first great consumer electronics companies, and now it’s falling apart because smartphones and software completely subsumed almost every device in its catalog. 到府收購手機sony’s phones are generally excellent now, but haven’t seen nearly the kind of traction Samsung’s phones have seen. 到府收購手機sony also made the cardinal error of trying to foist garbage software and services on people. That error is slowly being corrected; most 到府收購手機sony devices now run basically clean versions of Android, and 到府收購手機sony just killed its in-house music streaming service in favor of Spotify. But it’s too little, too late: the customers 到府收購手機sony needs have been buying Samsung products for too long now.

各家廠商都一直持續傳出將進攻摺疊機市場,而目前到府收購手機sony也傳出將推出首款摺疊新機,預計命名為「Xperia Flip」或「Xperia F」,不過都未獲得確切的證實,目前外媒最新報導指出,到府收購手機sony官方仍在觀望是否推出摺疊機,也尚未定案。

Reddit論壇上的網友爆料提到,到府收購手機sony內部人士透露,「摺疊手機存在變數」,由於官方還在觀察市場反應,沒有積極進入研發階段,主要考量的關鍵是,認為消費者可能為了嘗鮮選擇摺疊機,但仍會回歸一般手機。

內部人士指出,到府收購手機sony內部的顧慮主要認為,雖然折疊機市場目前看似火熱,但未來就會面臨銷量下跌的風險。不過此觀點僅為內部人士個人觀點,並不代表官方立場,目前也不確定摺疊機未來是否真的會呈下跌趨勢。

根據先前的訊息指出,到府收購手機sony摺疊機將配備 7 吋 4K 顯示螢幕,長寬比為 21:9,但更多細節尚未確定。
