They release their phones for some silly high price, it gets criticised for it in reviews, then 3 months later you can get it for hundreds less, but the damage has already been done, the reviews have already been tainted by the bad pricing.
Imo worse than the price is the update policy. Last time I checked they only gave 2 major android updates and 3 year security patches.
Especially on the higher end models that is just unforgivable imo.
It also somewhat ties into the high price issue, because by the time you might see some discounts you are already well into the already short update cycle.
The way Sony prices their phones is so annoying.
