URGENT: HAS SONY STOPPED MOBILE DIVISION IN INDIA?

Hello,

Currently I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I am looking to change and really impressed with Sony Xperia Z5. Today I went to a local store at Greater Noida (India) to get a demo (and perhaps buy). But I was surprised and rather shocked when I was recommended not to buy XPERIA Z5 because SONY has stopped mobile division in India and all its Service Centers too.

Request you to verify this news which rather sounds like a rumor so I can happily purchase my favorite Xperia Z5.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya

Perhaps the store that you want to get a commission if you buy other brand. You can contact Sony directly on this >>> Local support

Humble suggestion. Buy only if you are hardcore fan. Reality is different from the promotional videos. Sony service is pathetic. They will simply deny that there is any problem.

Here is my feedback. Till yday i used to think that Z5 has the best camera. But when I compared the images with lg g3, g3's pics were alot sharper.

Heating. 1 min 4k recording, 2 min 1080p 60fps video is the max this fone can record. After that cam shuts down due to heat. Even in idle mode 20 mim is the max camera.l will be open. After that it will shut down due to heat.

Distortion in audio when using Dsee. No solution for this.

Quick charge not working- no solution for this.

Perhaps @CusTOM245 's device it's not defective, perhaps he has multiple apps running in the background plus wifi on, and maybe data on and the network coverage it's not that great, which will heat up the phone faster.

I have tried all sorts of fixes. But Sony service told me that those are the capabilities of the device. I'm not agains't Sony but just don't want another person to waste hard earned money. I bought my Z5 for INR 53K.

Great if Z5's performance is really that good, but check demo device before investing money.

4k recording and 1080P 60 FPs video recording of 4mins after which the camera shuts down due to heat.  When i complained, they said that it is normal with Z5 and those are the capabilities of Z5.

Like I said on a previous post, this has to do with a lot of factors that will heat up your phone, it's normal that 4K will heat up the phone faster, and if you live in a warm area it won't make it any easier, also if you have a poor network coverage or using WiFi it will heat up the phone faster. As you can read above, @shadowfax26 can record 4K for up to 40min
