NTT DoCoMo has officially released pricing for the Sony Xperia Z (SO-02E), due to launch in Japan on 9 February 2013. The price looks equivalent to that mooted in other parts of the world, coming in at 77,280 Yen (£545, €645, $860). Guys what do you think abot the price? Are they nominal or steep given the specs??!!

860 is too damn much honestly.

Well said, i think its gonna blow up a deep hole in our pocket for sure. Whatever Sony does perfect, they seem to mess up and lose out in the pricing factor (as they did in SL, Xperia ion, arc S) and such. They ll eventually take months to revise the price too, where in that mean time others may catch up!

It's been announced at $749 in australia (basically $750 US)... australia normally gets pretty bad pricing on phones, so there's hope it might not be too bad for the rest of the world.

im from sydney and i spoke to the company thats offering the handset for $749 but they said thats obviously subject to change and that i might be condiderably cheaper than that i remember paying $520 for the xperia s when it first was released in oz so going by that why would it be that much more expensive i doubt it would be more than $700

Considering the beefed up specs and design workmanship involved, price should be up i guess!

Japanese list prices are meaningless because they are 100% subsidy phones.

Only available through the carrier, and even if you outright purchase the handset (vs installment plan) you get a large immediate subsidy kickback.

You don't need to post a new thread every time a price is released as there's a thread about prices already here.


Thanks
