Sony Deals & Offers

I think that's way too much money for Mate 10 Pro, frankly (late 2017 phone). I know it well, I think with Mate 10 Huawei came definitely at the doorstep of premium market. However, it'd take for P20 Pro the real challlenger of incumbents last year, to step over the line. P20 Pro is kind of natural rival of XZ2P. Prices are in roughly in same region, I don't think Mate 10 has held up as well. That Huawei for some reason is not ageing as well as Pixel 2 XL, its contemporary, or P20 Pro - I see this one holding value for longer.

Ok 👌

Yeah, bit wider not taller (& a little slimmer): https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Sony-Xperia-XZ3,Huawei-Mate-10-Porsche-Design/phones/10947,10702

Looks bit like xz3 just taller and wider

Should anyone be interested in a comparison between the XZ2, XZ2 Premium and the XZ3... https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/buyers-guides/sony-mobile/145403-sony-xperia-xz3-vs-xz2-vs-xz2-premium-what-s-the-difference

It's not even the 2nd latest, but it's great

Voting cold as screenshot misleading. Not latest flagship

Gorgeous

Thanks for info

The problem with these for 'old people' is that they will 'hate it' and therefore hate all 'smartphones' forever despite them being nothing like the experience they'd have with current models. I can't imagine any good use for these unfortunately. I have an old Nexus 4 plugged in but hidden away forwarding texts from an old number and even that's pretty dire. Save your money.

You were lucky

I've found the customer service to be excellent myself.

I think so too, something in the £50 range would be far less restrictive and you can pick up some good bargains for that price.

A prime example that cheap does not always mean cheerful. People may want a cheap phone but I suspect they wouldn't mind paying/expect to pay a little more to have a much better experience. As others have said, bettery life on these will be trash. Security risks are an issue as support for these handsets will have stopped years ago. New apps or even semi-new apps won't work as developers will need access to the stuff only higher versions of android provide. Memory will be really low. Screen resolution very low. Hardware for WiFi and GPS etc will be poor. The list goes on. However spending triple+ this price will bag you something 10x better. And doing this makes sense, and as said people will be able to afford it. The effort is a really good one, and I don't think anyone is knockimg that, it's just the £10 restriction that is the issue, so my advice to the OP is to do the same again but say with a budget of £30/£40/£50? Max. Would be very insteresting to see what is available for that price. I'd personally argue that learners need a slick experience, and I dount these provide that. Using these for tinkering, I think these used old handsets will be sluggish and will get grating after a while. Again, Top marks for effort made though! Better than me!

Are you sure you are talking about XF90? There isn't the "next one up the range" LED Sony just now in any store, with XG yet to arrive. And John Lewis is selling new KD65XF90 for £1,499. KD65XG90 will probably be around £2,500 RRP when it comes out. KD65XG85 alone will be £1,899 RRP, but without FALD it is probably "a bit crippled". So all in all, except for not being brand new, this is the best 65" LED Sony you can physically have within the next month or so, and within the next year at this price range.

The reviews for this model are exemplary, there's nothing crippled about it. Which sony do you think is next up in the range? The only other led LCD was the zf9, that's a lot more money and has a flaw or two.

Read the reviews on this model it's a bit crippled the next one up the range is not a lot more and much better

Not the best Sony for the money????

Ive got the 65 version and freeview hd looks absolutley stunning. Sd is a bit hit and miss but always at least watchable. I do agree about the home screen menu being a bit jumbled but this is supposed to get better with the new android update (when sony finally sort it out properly). All in all this is a fantastic tv and at this price its a no brainer.

Are you sure about that? Imagine the inception! Hey, I have an idea. I throw a ball at some sticks, you try and hit it with a big stick, then run back and forth between a set of sticks! WHOOOOOOO! AWESOME!

so during the cricket matches the channel will become unencrypted and available for free without a subscription?????

Is it HD the channel and free?

Yes. True. Not often you have time to watch live. Also some of this channels put too many adverts at wrong time (mad)

The only downside with this channel is they don’t show highlights.either watch the full match which most people don’t have time for or it’s nothing.as with sky sports they put 1 hour highlights throughout the next couple days.

I know you've only copied what AO have written... But PSVR V4??? There's only 2 versions!

Thank you :) . Why can’t o2 just provide us with the phone chargers in the box, I know they say they are trying to be good to the planet. I wonder if the chargers get removed from the box on the manufacturing line or are they just not manufactured for o2 orders

Hi my phone just arrived there's usb in the box just no plug thats everything that's in the box hope it helps.

Does this work even if you never activated/used the O2 SIM they send with the phone?

Thank you (y) much appreciated.

Yeah no probz. Mine is arriving tomoz I'll let you know when it arrives if it has charger usually they have the wire now for usb plug if its not unlocked theres a bit to click in the "my02" u just click and they tell u what to do.

Received mine yesterday - handset only as stated, but absolutely pristine. It was last charged 173 days ago, so I don't think it has had a lot of use. The screen is fantastic, real highlight and a noticable improvement on the also very impressive XZ2. I have put nova launcher on it, and its a fluid as anything I have used before. Great device for £320

All out of stock

You're gonna turn ladies' heads...(& lads' too)

I I tried one. Tbh I didn't notice the speed difference from the standard 6t just incredibly smooth!!!

I know, but when I get it tomorrow, I know I'm going to love the speed of it, and maybe even keep it (shock)

£237 if anyone is still looking https://www.techinthebasket.com/catalog/product/view/id/6606?gclid=CjwKCAjwstfkBRBoEiwADTmnELdCpEtg6uqV-WkJKPQzOANiyNuJlmguNCmkXO89hlaVHVj1Rs4E0BoC-0EQAvD_BwE

not black

How are people getting them so cheap on Amazon warehouse, I never see them at prices like £207 or £220. If you buy from warehouse but not happy, you can still return right?

Just got mine from amazon warehouse today. They are in mint condition just box wasn't seated. Paid £207

I have a few free card, Halifax clarity. If it’s used to purchase the silver ones. I get around £258. Which is only £12 cheaper than if I go with amazon uk. Not sure it’s worth the hassle? Unless someone enlightens me

Even better :D

That seems to be an XZ2 not XZ2 compact.

What about Toby deals? Are they any better? They price is the same.

Didn't make any difference because by the time my phone developed a fault and they'd strung me along for so long I was outside of the 6 month claim period

What about paying with pay pal?

You'll probably need something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_GB

Had it in my hand in Vodafone store and it feels amazing, actually it was surrounded by flagships in same table and didn't look out of place. It really is special design... ...but I think pricing policy is misguided, looks like HTC crashing into the ground all over again. Sony is like LG, now an underdog in smartphone market, just like Huawei was 2 years ago, and can't charge any premium, on the contrary it has to give more than others at better prices, there's no other way to succeed.

Sony mobile division do make for some good case studies on what not to do.

I couldn't agree more

dont like this design choice of new sony series ..they are easy to hold but too tall for a phone ..you need long finger to reach at top of screen all sony needed was to stick with old Xperia z5/Xz1 design but to minimise the bezel and improve the camera to be more competitive with S10 and pixel

Mrswitch is a crack (eagle-eyed)

My mum had the regular xa2 for over year nice phone, the display really bright and sharp, build quality is good to, good midrange phones, sony store are overpriced laptop direct seem to be the cheapest for Sony phones right now. As pointed at £200 this bargain at Giffgaff, well spotted Mr switch

Actually your help appreciated, £200 is price this phone should be now, 1 year after launch It's embarrassing to point others in wrong direction, good for Giffgaff

Sorry mate :(

Thanks to @Mrswitch for pointing out, £40/50 cheaper at Giffgaff, that makes it much more competitive, don't think there's any advantage from buying direct from Sony store, unless you want it in Silver or Gold

God I paid £170ish for the same deal about 3 months ago. Very solid phone with same specs as an S8, good battery life and an OK camera. Not quite an S8 or P20 Pro camera, but it's better than quite alot, especially at this price point.

Brilliant phone, had the premium version before but it's essentially the same thing

pretty good photo quality in this price range https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNkePnlCfpG_zg52I25sRIKiCniuRyi8eStnJiI-3bQLp9X5ly4kl5UgJFCL4QPsQ?key=M2NfN1I3RlNuYzBtRnF1aWxwdDJFaFVwNlFHLWt3

£179? For SACD / DVD-Audio and native multi-channel DSD / LPCM via DLNA as well as any disc format you care to mention. The only thing it's missing is phono audio outs, everything is via HDMI. Tempted as an upgrade from my UHP-H1

Back up to £221

The M2 version with Dolby Vision is due anytime soon so I suspect these are being sold off.

I'd be surprised if this does a good job of SACD playback although SACD is always welcome given that Sony is still supporting it. Also noticed it was £150 for a short while earlier in March.

No dolby vision is a dealbreaker
