Our latest results – catching up with Dennis van Schie

Today, Sony Corporation announced our FY2014 Q1 results. Under the ‘Mobile Communications’ segment, Sony Mobile sales increased 10.1% year on year and we recorded an operating loss of 2.7 billion yen (27 million USD).

To go beyond the numbers, we asked Dennis van Schie, SVP Sales & Marketing at Sony Mobile to tell us a bit more about what this means and where we’re going here at Sony Mobile.

“Since we became Sony Mobile, we have made significant progress in rebuilding the business and establishing our position in the premium segment. We’ve heard from our consumers and partners that they enjoy the experiences they get with Sony smartphones and tablets. In fact, it’s part of the reason we’ve seen our Net Promoter Score increase over the past 18 months – meaning we’re getting more recommendations and positive feedback from our customers,” said van Schie.

“We’ve seen great momentum for our flagship Z series. With Xperia Z1 Compact we have established a new smartphone segment, delivering a premium flagship experience – without compromise – in a smaller, compact package. Xperia Z2 has been very well received with more than 25 awards to date and strong sales globally. In a tough and changing marketplace, we are challenging the duopoly in the premium tier with our flagship smartphones. And our partner relationships are stronger than ever, supporting a wider market reach as we continue to experience growth in key operator channels.”

Looking ahead

“But we’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry in the past six months, with a lot of competition in the mid and low-range from both existing and new players. This has been tough, but we remain undaunted and undeterred. To succeed, we will make sure that we stay lean and fit to deliver on our promise to excite our consumers with innovative mobile experiences and stunning high quality devices, while also driving further sales by ensuring our mid-range portfolio delivers great Sony experiences to wider audiences in this highly competitive segment.

The market is changing for sure. But we are more committed than ever to success and believe we are very well positioned to adapt and adjust to that change.”

Thanks to Dennis for his time.

Design, Size, Weight, Screen are flawless. I couldn’t say anything else, because I was surely impressed on how much Nokia put thought into this device. Speed for me is just fine; some have complained about its RAM and processor, frankly I would tell them they have no idea about computer mechanics. There is something they haven’t noticed and people like me would pay top dollars for. That is the NO FAN option, finally can sit in bed and not disturb anyone with the whizzing sound of the cooling fan. Plus what more can you ask from a netbook, use it as it was design and supposed to be used so just plug in a 2GB Flash drive and use it as a ReadyBoost or have you totally forgot about that?. Coming back to the essential elements of this device, using the 3G gave me the ability to sit where and when ever I want. No Dongles, Bluetooth, or Cable connections required. Power on and connect, simply amazing feeling you’ve got knowing you can get what you want in no time. The Nokia Booklet 3G is such a good device that I know use it as my own corporate computer device. Called in IT and asked them to remove my bulky laptop back it up on the local network so I could access it on my booklet. My desk is so clean right now it’s not even funny. I put this device to the ultimate test on the first day of work, dropped my notebook pens and every manual item you can possibly take to a meeting. Fired up OneNote, held a 3 hour meeting took all the notes I needed on my Booklet, attached pictures from my N900 and I was the first one out of the door. Didn’t have to gather all my papers, put together my laptop disconnect my charger, and wind up all sorts of wires. The best part I even leave quicker, All I’ve got is my Booklet and I’m out, charger is at home.
