Sony starts selling the Xperia Z5 (in the UK)

Not long after releasing the Xperia Z5 Compact in Europe, Sony today started selling the larger Xperia Z5, too. However, while the Compact can be bought in several markets, the Z5 is available only in the UK (for now).

Carphone Warehouse is the place where you can currently buy an Xperia Z5 in the UK. The handset can be purchased SIM-free for £549.99 (about €742, or $830), or on contract, starting at £41.99 per month. There are four color options to choose from: black, white, gold, and green.

As you probably know, the Xperia Z5 is the successor to the Z3+ / Z4 from earlier this year. It's got a dust- and water-resitant body, sports a 5.2-inch 1080p display, and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop. The Z5 is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, also featuring 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 2900 mAh battery which, according to Sony, can provide up to 2 days of usage time. One of the highlight features of the Xperia Z5 is its 23 MP rear camera with fast auto focus, SteadyShot image stabilization, and 4K video recording.

It's not yet clear when (or if) the Sony Xperia Z5 will be released in North America, but we're going to let you know when we find out.
