#sony xperia zl availability

We got the Sony Xperia ZL to unbox this week and we're curious how it fares compared to the Xperia Z which we reviewed earlier. The Xperia ZL looks pretty much like the previous Xperia handsets we've tested and reviewed -- from the Xperia S, to the Xperia P and the Acro S; but with a display size of 5 inches, it's the biggest of all the handsets Sony has ever made (along with the Z). Sony has announced the Xperia 1 VIII, its latest flagship smartphone focused on photography, audio, and AI-powered camera features. Pricing and availability 12GB + 256GB – €1,499 / £1,399 16GB + 1TB – €1,999 / £1,849 Sony said pre-orders begin on May 13 in select markets. Sony has confirmed that it will launch the Xperia 1 VIII on May 13 at 11:00 AM JST.
