Sony Mobile Australia has just confirmed on its Facebook page that the Xperia Z “will be A$749 [£490, €591, $790] direct from Sony Centres and will be available in black, white and purple.” It went on to say that “further carrier information as well as price plans will be announced soon.” Release timelines weren’t given, but this is the first direct information we’ve had on pricing. We’ll bring you more info as we have it. For pricing in Europe so far click here.
