There are a lot of pioneering and large smartphone companies who have been affected by the rise of Chinese Android smartphone manufacturers who make decent quality phones at very competitive prices. Chinese manufaturers like Meizu, Huawei, HTC, OnePlus, and OPPO have rolled out phones with flagship performance yet they come at prices which the masses can afford. This upward trend have caused Sony's mobile division a lot of headaches and heartaches.
Sony has always been followed their mantra of making quality electronic products and their smartphones have always been, build-wise one of the sturdiest. The level of build quality comes at a premium price though. The high prices of Sony smartphones have let to consumers to shy away from their products. Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai, announced that while the company has enjoyed a quite comfortable profit their mobile division however is still on the decline. Their company is saved by high PS4 sales. Poor android rooting methods for their phones have also led to techy users to stay away from Sony smartphones.
They have set their sights for 2016 as their might or break year. They will be pinning their hopes on upcoming smartphones like the Sony Xperia C6. This phone is rumored to be released 2nd quarter of 2016.
According to industry experts, this phone will the octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 chipset clocked at 2.0 Ghz and will have 3GB of RAM. This processor has more or less the same specs as the one inside the Meizu MX5. Leaked photos shows that Sony is still being true to their way of making phones with great cameras as they have put a seemingly larger front facing camera with a flash for those perfect selfies.

On the outside, the Xperia C6 looks like a beefed up iPhone6 especially with the Rose Gold color scheme. Its slightly larger than usual screen for a mid tier phone could be one of its selling point. We don't need to worry about the phone's body as Sony has always made sturdy phones. I just hope they will be more supportive to android rooting methods for their products.
We don't want another major player to exit the smartphone market because more manufacturers would mean healthier competition which would benefit us, consumers. I just hope that Sony will price the upcoming C6 competitively without sacrificing quality. If their upcoming phones will be a hit, the company's top brass could change their mind about exiting the Android market.
