TOKYO/OSAKA -- Even in an iPhone-dominated Japanese market with lackluster growth prospects, domestic electronics makers like Sony Group and Sharp have found reasons to keep pouring resources into new smartphones.
When Sony announced its new Xperia 1 VI smartphone via YouTube on Wednesday, the X microblogging platform was flooded with a wide range of opinions. Some commenters lauded the camera's performance, while others lamented its price of nearly 200,000 yen ($1,290).
