The recently launched Sony Xperia Z1 (Honami) is now available for pre-order in the UK via retailer Carphone Warehouse.

Carphone Warehouse is now accepting pre-orders for the Xperia Z1 and users can get a free handset with select plans starting at £42 per month. However, the most interesting part is the promotional deal which the retailer is offering.
"When you pre-order the Sony Xperia Z1 on pay monthly or upgrade you'll get a free Cybershot QX10 detachable camera lens worth £150. With 10X optical zoom, BIONZ image sensor and Exmor R CMOS sensor, you'll never have to carry around a separate camera.
