The Sony Xperia Z2 has received a massive discount in the U.S., as the company dropped the price of the unlocked device from $749.99 to $579.99.
High-end devices such as the Sony Xperia Z2 usually come with steep price tags unlocked, with no subsidies and no carrier ties whatsoever. The Xperia Z2 made its debut earlier this year but only reached the U.S. a couple of months ago, launching with a hefty $749.99 price tag unlocked.
With the company's latest Xperia Z3 phones now out, however, it was only a matter of time before the previous generation got a discount. Although the Xperia Z2 has not been available for long in the U.S., Sony still slashed the price of the unlocked handset to a more affordable $579.99.
If you're looking for the very latest from Sony, the Xperia Z3 is set to hit commercial availability "this fall." On the other hand, if you don't mind getting the previous model, which is still pretty fresh, the new Xperia Z2 discount may ease your decision.
The Sony Xperia Z2 is still a very capable device with plenty of bells and whistles, even if it's not the very latest model anymore. The smartphone sports a 5.2-inch IPS display with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and packs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor under the hood, paired with Adreno 330 graphics and 3GB of RAM. Other specs include 16GB of internal storage capacity, complete with microSD support for additional memory of up to 128GB. A 3,200 mAh battery will keep things up and running and should last for a good while on a single charge. One of the best features of the Sony Xperia Z2, however, is its rear shooter, as the smartphone boasts a powerful 20.7-megapixel camera for high-quality photos, as well as 4K video recordings.
If the whole package sounds good to you and you'd like to purchase a Sony Xperia Z2, you can now pick up the unlocked model from Sony's website at this link for $579.99, in a choice of black, white, or purple color options. As expected, Sony is also throwing in free shipping with your order.
