T-Mobile to offer the Sony Xperia Z3 starting October 29th

T-Mobile announced on Monday, that it will be offering the Sony Xperia Z3 to customers starting on October 29th. Unlike the Sony Xperia Z3v, which will be available at Verizon, T-Mobile will apparently be selling essentially the same model known as the Z3 internationally. Verizon's Xperia Z3v is a model made as an exclusive for Big Red (hence the "v" in the name of the handset), that features Z3-type specs in a Sony Xperia Z2-styled body.

T-Mobile will start to accept pre-orders for the handset on October 15th, at midnight PDT. According to T-Mobile, this means that those who pre-order the phone, could receive their unit before the national launch. T-Mobile is offering the Sony Xperia Z3 for $0 down with 24 monthly installment payments of $26.25.

T-Mobile had exclusively sold the Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia Z1S in the states. The Sony Xperia Z2 was not offered by a U.S. carrier despite rumors that Verizon was going to offer it. T-Mobile customers are going to love the Xperia Z3's battery life. Our testing shows that the handset tops the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 for the crown.Sony itself refers to the two days that users can get off of a single charge.
