Why not in the UK?

[DarrenK]

Been bying Xperia phones for few years now, and a good portion of my friends buy them after me raving about how great they are.

And now it's time to upgrade and the UK is not allowed the flagship X Performance.  So if I want a top end phone I have to go else where, is there reason you are not offering it in UK?  Please don't make me buy a S7

@DarrenK

They did the same thing for US consumers with the Z5 Premium. It was avaialble on Amazon but I wasn't going to buy a Phone without warranty. I don't know why they do this, I also don't think the X Performance is the Flagship since it only has 3gb of ram while phones like the S7 has 4.

To be fair, s7 probably needs 4 as the s6 was abysmal at memory performance.
Aside from raw power and speed, you'll find the Z5 pretty much is equal to the S7, especially in terms of actual usage.

It's not just UK, the flagship device will not be offered globally unfortunatly except for 3 countries: Japan, China and Hong Kong.
What a shame

I have loved the Xperia Z range but the fact the X Performance is not going to be available and Sony completely ignore customers questions about it, I've decided to try something else.  I'll refrain from saying what but it is not a Sony.

Are you serious? Wow that's not cool.

@Ninjabird7

Yup unfortunatly, Sony's reasoning is that most of the countries don't support LTE Cat 9 Speed!! What kind of reasoning is that?!

@Ahmad007

If they wanna compete in the mobile market then they have to make their phones avaialable in more than three countries. I hear the X performance will come to the USA but I don't know if I wanna get it anymore.

[Ahmad007]

Still not sure though, let's wait till June. They better release that phone, they're gonna be way late from the competition.

And to think here's me using a Z1 still XD I simply just don't know which z series to jump to, z3 or Z5? As one is the supposedly hated msm8994/810 and the z3's being an 8974AC / 801-2.5ghz version, which would be the better option? I like the design of both and well, quick charge does appeal, but I'd like a stable processor but back to the point, looks like the X series either won't be here at all or we'll get some different version? Bit like the Z4/Z3+ thing?
