Phone is £549 on Sony's site, use code 2XZDISCOUNT25 to knock 25% off and bring it down to £411.75. Plus quidco pay £22 cashback, bringing the final cost down to £389.75.
Cheapest offer I can see by quite some margin.

You could always buy it directly from OP, don't take it out on them :smile:
I'd go for the OP3T over this.

i wanted the 128GB version. TBH its too much cost wise to investing only to have to send it back to china to have it repaired. I bought a 200GB microsd.

I used to buy top branded phones too until i dropped and water damaged half a dozen. Yeah this one benefits from the latest 820 processor and 3GB of RAM and has a nice overall spec which would tempt me but when i see a phone such as Xiaomi Note that is over 50% cheaper i just can't see the point.... and people would say ahh but they fake, well let me tell you android is open source and the internal chipsets are the same brand. The outside shell build quality I believe is now on par and they usually built in the same town, so the only difference is the engraved brand. But then i guess if brands weren't king Apple would be out of business.

This is waterproof though, which is a feature you might find useful by the sounds of it.

I do agree. I bought my first Xiaomi a couple of months BACK (due to losing phone/theft) after top of the range Sony, LG and HTC. Bought their redmi note 3 special edition which has all 4G bands. This is their budget to mid range apparently but it's really on a par with the brands I named. Tough to get cases to fit the special edition but for £140 I am extremely satisfied.

Very tempted! Must resist!
This or the Galaxy S7 sealed/unlocked for £380 (deal from a local phone shop)!
When does this offer end?

possible to find perfect condition s7 edges around for ~400, personally the edge is worth the money based on aesthetics alone, never mind the battery capacity and a bigger screen which makes more sense to have 1440p on. I bought mine unboxed for 350 at cash generators, 02 had there refresh deals as well.

Where are all these Sony store vouchers coming from? Anything for TVs or cameras? Thanks.

I have given up on refurbished and second hand phones. I used to swear by them but my last 3 have all failed and not covered by warranty. I now see it as a false economy and will always look for a full 2 year UK warranty.

Love Sony style - but one thing I HATE is that it took up to recently to be able to move apps etc to SD card, and even then most of the app is still left on Internal storage. Worst case Ive ever seen.

That's actually a feature of android. Nothing to do with Sony

I intentionally didn't mention the S7Edge.. it does not appeal to me.
I had a S7Edge for a week.. although the prettiest phone around.. not practical with the crappy palm rejection (for me anyway).
I actually appreciate a little side bezel and smaller footprint (like the iPhone 7/Pixel/S7/HtC 10/Xperia XZ etc)! :smiley:

Nice price. Is it worth upgrading from a Sony Z3 to this?

I upgraded from the Z3 compact a month or so ago. I can't speak for everyone but I'm happy with it.

I would never touch a Sony phone again when I had one twice the screen cracked and the phone was just in my pocket :confused:

That's a known (and corrected) fault, I've had one for ages and its fine.

Are you sure? I thought that they had dropped IP from the new range.... it would be great if it is! :smiley:

submersing the device will invalidate the warranty even though its IP65/8 certified

Surely its more a case of what you've submersed it in? Its all a bit of a con, they say "waterproof" but then say its only fresh water, not salt, so I guess they would invalidate if they found salt traces in the event of a claim? I read that AFTER I'd been on holiday and used this in the pool to record some footage of our little boy swimming underwater... luckily it was fine, and the video was amazing. I got some REALLY strange looks when I bobbed in under the water with it though, I think people thought I was mental :smiley: and there was only us two in the pool so it wasn't like they thought I was some kind of sex pest!! :smiley:

Title of the phone says "Sony Xperia XZ 32GB, Mineral Black, UK/IE", doesn't that mean it's locked for UK and Ireland? First time buying a phone in UK, sorry if I'm missing something.

if it's UK locked, then would I be able insert my Latvian sim card later when i move back to my home country?

Here & here my advice is to not be mistaken into thinking its okay to submerse the device. treat it like any other electronics and keep away from liquids. Its saying water non saline. But most water contains various minerals and particulates.

Neither source supports your claim that submersing the phone will invalidate the warranty....
got the phone today its great got a lot of setup to do going from a 1+1 to lumia 735 (for 10 days) to the xz. battery is a concern so i've ordered a anker quick charge 3.0 plug with 3 usb c cable pack. enough for work home and my bag on the move. Hoping this phone lasts me a good three years.

The warranty actually says:
This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product that is due to:
Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded
(including liquid damage or the detection of liquid inside the device resulting from such
use).
Submerging the device does not invalidate the warranty

How come they are in stock now but we have to wait for 7 days for them to be delivered:(

Got this phone and quite happy for first month but now in month 2 it's developing overheating problems that drop calls and affect the camera video function. Very disappointed
