Sony reduces asking price of Xperia Z5 range just a few days after launch
Sony unveiled its new range of handsets last week at IFA 2015 that included the regular-sized Xperia Z5, the smaller Xperia Z5 Compact and the bigger Xperia Z5 Premium. Soon afterwards, details on the handset’s prices were available, and it became blindingly obvious that the new devices weren’t exactly cheap. Just a few days later though, Sony UK has cut the prices for the new Xperia handsets, we have more details after the break.
The asking price of the Xperia Z5 range of handsets has been cut by at least £50, with the Z5 Compact being reduced from £549 to £429. That’s a hefty price reduction right there. The standard Z5 is down from £599 to £549 while the Z5 Premium has gone from £699 to a more reasonable £629.
Sony hasn’t given any reasons for the price cut/correction, so we are left to speculate about why the prices have been cut. It could be that Sony decided that the launch prices for the Xperia Z5 range were simply too ambitious, it could simply have been human error, or, it could be that the launch prices were stifling orders. Whatever the reason, the asking prices seem more realistic, especially in the case of the Z5 Compact. What do you think of the price cuts? Will it serve as a further incentive to buy one of Sony’s latest offerings?
