Sony Xperia Z5 arrives in the UK

Right behind the arrival of the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact on Monday, the regular sized Xperia Z5 has just landed in the UK through high-street retailer Carphone Warehouse and a selection of carrier stores.

SIM free, the smartphone will set you back £549.99, quite a bit more than the Compact’s £450 price tag. If you are after a monthly contract, the Xperia Z5 can be yours with no upfront cost from just £41.99 per month, or you can reduce the monthly payment to £36 if you can stump up £59.99 upfront.

The smartphone is available in Black, Gold and Green colour options, and the Carphone Warehouse also has exclusive early access to the Ice White variant too.

O2 also has the Xperia Z5 in stock, with prices starting at £42.50 per month with £0 up front. Vodafone has a very similar offer, with monthly costs beginning at £44 per month, and it will have the phone delivered out to you on Monday 5th October. O2 and Vodafone both stock the handset in your choice of Black or Green colours.

For a quick recap of the phone’s hardware, the Xperia Z5 features a 5.2-inch 1080p display and is powered by a Snapdragon 810 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory and a 2,900mAh battery. The phone’s 23MP rear camera also just topped the DxoMark table of best smartphone cameras. For extras, the phone is IP68 rated against water and dust resistance, has a microSD card slot for 200GB of extra storage space and features a fingerprint scanner.
