Question about Sony Xperia 5 II
This Sony Xperia 5 II smartphone is advertised everywhere and Digitec is referred to everywhere. Now, yesterday (18 November 2020), the Sony main agency in Switzerland (!!!) in Schlieren informed me that according to their information... this smartphone is not offered in Switzerland.... But it would be available in Germany. What is going on at Sony ? Are they being put under pressure by the competition ? Or is Switzerland too small ? Or is it like with the Corona masks, that those who pay better or are bigger are preferred ?
Helpful answer
Yes, Sony's business policy is also incomprehensible to me.
"Switzerland is too small" is probably the right answer. When looking at the portfolio of Sony Mobile Switzerland, it is noticeable that some devices have been omitted from time to time. Adapting firmware, organising imports, marketing, supplying dealers, offering customer service... that's a lot of work. Since Sony is not exactly the smartphone manufacturer with the highest sales in this country, it is probably not always worth it for the several thousand devices to be sold.
This is neither a question about the product, nor even about Digitec. Ask Sony directly, Digitec only imports the devices because Sony doesn't supply them directly.
