However, Sony does have a major challenge in especially the Asian mobile markets. This is simply because of what the brand offers and at what price. While the Asian markets are flooding with brilliant value for money devices at affordable prices, Sony does not seem to drop its price what upgrade the specifications. Although the Snapdragon 630 SoC is decent but, definitely not something to be sold in a device at the price that the Xperia 8 Lite is being sold. Also, the battery capacity would have been good 5-6 years ago but things have changed a lot since then. However, the device is something for the Sony fans out there, maybe.
