European Xperia XZ pre-orders come with free Sony wireless headphones

After an unveiling at IFA earlier in the month, Sony’s new Xperia XZ and X Compact smartphones are now going on sale in Europe. If you’re in Europe and looking to pre-order the new Xperia XZ, you’ll receive a free pair of Sony MDR-XB950BT Extra Bass wireless headphones worth £150.

The pre-order deal is available when you order directly from Sony’s European online store. Sony is selling the phone in three color options – Forest Blue, Mineral Black and Platinum. The free headphone offer ends on October 5th in the UK and October 10th in mainland Europe.

The same pre-order deal has also been spotted at some retailers in the UK. The offer is also live at the Carphone Warehouse, where you can purchase the phone for just £499 unlocked, or national retailer Clove.

Sony has also thrown in a fingerprint scanner (which won’t make it to the US), Quick Charge 3.0, a USB Type-C port, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
