Deal: Unlocked Sony Xperia XZ drops to just $315 on Amazon and B&H

Last month, one of Sony's older flagship smartphones, namely the Xperia XZ was on sale at Amazon for $400. Considering the phone was launched in the United States last year for $700, we thought that was a pretty good deal for Sony fans.

One month later, Amazon and B&H have decided the Xperia XZ must be put on sale once again, but for an even lower price. Starting this weekend, Sony Xperia XZ can be had for just $315 at either of the two US retailers.

The unlocked model comes with US warranty, but it will only work on GSM carriers in the country (so no Sprint and Verizon). Since the Sony Xperia XZ 32GB usually sells for around $400, you'll be saving $85 if you decide to go for the deal.

And if you're worried about software support, Sony is expected to provide Xperia XZ users with an Android 8.0 Oreo update at some point. For the time being, the more recent Xperia XZ Premium is getting the update, but other Xperia smartphones will follow soon.

Doesn't get any better when looking for a device on a budget than picking up a previous year flagship for less than half the price.

I knew i should have waited. I got the V20 when it went to 350 like 3 months ago. Been wanting a Sony again since i killed my Z5P.

How is your experience with the LG? cause I actually got the XZ for $470 early this year and I've been wondering about LG offerings...

And for the price, the V20 seems like an awesome deal as well... bigger, higher res screen, 4GB of RAM and similar specs otherwise...

So far the V20 is solid. Camera could be better, but I use Auto instead of Manual. I got the unlocked one, but it doesn't get security updates like the carrier locked ones.

Poor Sony. Struggling for the mobile niche.

actually is one of the few making profits out of it....

I like what they offer, and the software is pretty good. Also the prices of previous models drops very fast which is good for a buyer (bad for one selling)... and for me that is great

You've never been on a Sony article before? the bezel complain is always in one of the top comments....

In my opinion, I don't care as loon as the STB ratio is over 70%... the iPhones are worst at 65%... at least sony place front firing stereo speakers...

Nope, but if you flash the UK ROM and void your warranty it does.

I don't think the warranty is void if you do... you can easily flash it back to the US one and no one could tell...

I bought the XZ (EU version) but the X (US version) for my wife and I had to flash a UK ROM... her device behaves actually better than mine sometimes.
