The Xperia Z Is Finally Coming To Canada!!
2024 has offered up a number of wonderful new Android devices but there was one that I really wanted to check out that never made it to Canada. That device is the Xperia Z. We did get the co-flagship device here in Canada, the Xperia ZL, but it just wasn’t the same. They were close to identical in terms of hardware but the design on the Z was far superior. Plus it was waterproof!!
Well it seems that after much complaining and whining to Sony about not getting the Z (or may be they just want to try and boost sales), they’ve finally changed their mind and will bring the Xperia Z to Canada! It looks as though Bell will be getting the device exclusively, which is definitely a change as Rogers and Sony have always been quite close. The device will be available in black, white and purple and should have a retail cost of about $650.
Term pricing is not listed yet but I imagine it’ll come in at about $100-$150 on a 3-year contract (until that gets changed up that is). If you want to be kept up to date as to when the device will be available, you can pre-register so that you stay in the know.
While I am incredibly thrilled about this news, I’m not too sure how well this will sell with the Honami supposedly around the corner. On the one hand, the non-Android enthusiasts probably wouldn’t know about the Honami and would be thrilled to purchase such a stunning phone that’s waterproof and dustproof! But on the other hand, if the Honami does launch later this year, it may leave those purchasers a tad bit disgruntled as their device will suddenly take a back seat to the new flagship. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still super stoked to get my hands on one of these to check out but the timing just seems to be a little bit off.
