Z2 Price drop - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I am very much looking forward to sell my HTC One and get an Xperia Z2. I was just waiting till the price of the xperia z2 drops a little bit more. Right now on ebay and amazon is about $500.
Based on your experience with previous phones, Do you guys think it will drop even more once the z3 gets actually released in the U.S? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks :highfive:

Usualy happens
Was $800 on release, its about $500 some places
Was £699 when released and is about £480 now :/ probably price will drop some more in coming months

i somehow really feel bad i bought mine at sony store because its on "SALE" for about 579 and thinking it was already cheap and yeah its more cheaper at amazon but it says No Warranty. i don't think it will get any price drop since sony store started to put Z2 on Sale

Yeah i got pretty excited when i saw SALE on the sony site so i grabbed one instead of Galaxy S5 well still i think sony z2 is a better deal than S5 but yeah i could save 79 bucks from amazon eitherway im happy with my Z2 and based on readin z2 and z3 have minimal difference so on topic starter you can buy Z2 to save more but i dont think it will get price drop it was only released this year

Of course it will, and the longer you wait the greater the price drop, look at the price of the Z1 now!

it will surely drop wait sometime

Z ultra is being discontinued

Hey guys, I work in Virgin media and have phones4u next door.
I was speaking to someone and they said its on sale at the minute because its being discontinued. Apparently people come back saying all the xperia line are terrible. I've had nothing but good news from the people who buy the ones we sell.
But yes, they are cheap at the moment. Around £300 for unlocked. Or £27.99 on contract.
I find it hard that its so bad Sony are discontinuing one of there phones, maybe they will unveil a new ultra?
This also means no more support. I reckon an update for 4.4.3 will come out. Maybe 1 extra update after that and I'll be dead
What a shame.

No it won't be discontinued that fast. the fact that GPe version exists and that in Japan, there are additional version of Z Ultras that just have been announced 2-3 months ago, should not end this mighty of a phone that quick. But if we're talking for the next Z2 Ultra might be pushed early, that should be the reason.
In the mean time, Sony should stick with 18 month of policy for at least their Z branded Xperias. heck even the original Xperia Z might taste KitKat after all, which for the Z Ultra should be updated at least until the end of year 2014.
Glad i got one when i did then. loved every minute of ownership and dont see that changing anytime soon.

I highly doubt that Sony is discontinuing it. It's more plausible that Phones4U is getting rid of it, and therefore having the sale. They are probably waiting for the Z2 Ultra.

Perhaps, I wouldn't of thought Sony would make another Ultra, it doesn't seem to have sold well at all, and you can make the phone any bigger without it being a tablet, and you couldn't make it smaller because what's the point.
It seems phones4u and EE are not doing it anymore, haven't checked other carries

I'm sure there will be another version, just look at the large phones in Asia.
I probably wont be getting the Z2 Ultra - cant see the point in upgrading every year, lets see what the Z3 ultra brings to the table:laugh:

[Q] when do you think..

The z2 will be discontinued/no longer offered?
I have 2 (first one got a cracked screen, which sony will be replacing and i will be selling it).
The second one ive had no issues with but i have a carrier insurance (150 deductible) that allows me to get it replaced if its broken, stolen, etc..
My buddy used his warranty on his z1 shortly after z2 came out and they gave him the z2 in replacement.
Imo for 150 it seems like a good upgrade? Think theyll stop selling z2 soon?
18 months after release unless the device shows popularity then 24 months
Its been 6/7 months from release

Are you planning to get your phone stollen at some point? Don't let your insurance company know about it... just joking.
I don't believe Z2 will be discontunued soon, as I've just read that Sony is gonna change their six month flagship ship launch, starting with the z4 probably during Q1 of 2015...

[Q] What About Price ??

hello All,
I have Purchased z ultra @43000 in India before 7 months. right now this price is reduced and it only 18500/- only.
so, what you guys say about that.

I can say that it is much cheaper now, than before...
I say I like it, and bought it at 18670..
from your POV though, it sucks, right?
I say I bought it at ~700 euros (~49K rupees), with the SmartWatch 2 included, and I thought it was the right price for the whole package.
I tell you more, I would have done it without the bonus of the watch as well.
Today is all about upgrades, you can't buy a phone/tablet/tv/pc/laptop and expect the company you bought it from to stick its head under the sand and wait for you to have the need for another device to upgrade its line of products.
I bought it on day one, for a premium price, for what I thought (and it was, and it still is) was a premium device.
I was OK with the price then, and it served me perfectly for this year or so.
Now it's 250 euros, so what?
Go buy a BMW M5 for 100K and resell it the year after, you'll see like half of your cash go down the toilet...
Bottom line, if Sony pleases us with another Ultra, I'll go with it.
If not, I may but another one for the price of a coffee just to keep a spare one.

Being that people are having trouble getting their hands on one I advise giving eBay a shot.

Also when does this ship in the US!?!?!?

Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

I've bought my last three phones from them, and have had a great experience every time. Other than as a customer, I have no relationship with them:

No problem! I know Clove.co.uk is another site some folks recommend for buying from overseas, but I've never used it myself. They do seem to have it in stock as well, though...

Good luck! All I can tell you is that I bought my HTC One X, my wife's HTC One X+ and my Xperia Z2 from them, and every one was a good experience. The One X+ was the only one where I had any problems at all -- I'd actually ordered a One S, but they couldn't source it and so after waiting a while, they offered me the much better One X+ at well below their retail price.
And for my Xperia Z2, I ordered the phone, two docks and headphones, then they contacted me to let me know I could save money by buying a new, unopened Z2 UK kit that a customer bought and returned without opening, with that specific kit including the headphones I'd bought separately. They actually saved me a good bit by doing so, when they could've just filled the order I had made and got more money out of me...
So yes, three good experiences and I'm very happy with them. Hopefully you will be too! I'm pretty certain once I can afford the Z4 Tablet, I'll be getting it from Expansys, unless somehow Sony USA miraculously sets a reasonable price for the tablet. (Last time around, I paid less to them for the phone, two docks, headphones, extended warranty and expedited shipping than I'd have paid to Sony USA for just the phone by itself.)
We'll see. Here's to hoping. I'm not overly concerned with the timeframe as much as I am just getting it.
Anyone know where I can get the Keyboard seperately? They never released the keyboard for the Z2 Tab Internationally so I'm going to use this. The only one I have found is this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301652441507?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But $288 AUD for a keyboard alone IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like $100...
*EDIT* Found it a bit cheaper on http://www.expansys.com.au/sony-blu...or-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-black-qwerty-275344/ $240 + 18 Postage AUD
http://www.amazon.de/Sony-BKB-50-Bl...&qid=1433574303&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=bkb50 Comes to $214 AUD but no shipping to Aus.
http://www.mobilezap.com.au/53608-official-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-bluetooth-keyboard-case-black.htm $233.50 + $30 postage AUD :/

You're not going to find it for $100 or even anything close to that. The keyboard alone, direct from Sony, costs 15,880 yen in Japan. That's the equivalent of AU$166 in their home market, and you've got to add the cost of international shipping PLUS a profit margin to make it worth their while for any company selling you one as a parallel import. I'd figure $220 is the absolute minimum you're going to find it for anywhere...
I bought at Clove - 482.50 GBP, but it bundles BKB50 Bluetooth Keyboard!

How to buy Moto Z in Mexico? It's one of best markets...

I've seen Mexico is one of the best international markets for Moto Z: large choice of models and accessories, 64 GB models, interesting "bundles" and great prices... :fingers-crossed:
So I'm interested in buying it from Mexico (to Italy...), since European 32 GB versions aren't good for my needs...
Problem is that none of the Mexican online shop ship outside Mexico, since of Motorola directives...
If it was US I would have used systems like Viabox, US TO GO, etc. to have it reshipped from a "fake address" to Italy, BUT I was unable to find anything similar from Mexico...
Somebody does have hints for me to find a good solution?
I had the exact same question, and someone pointed me to Parcl. It's pretty much P2P parcel forwarding. There are only 3 forwarders in Mexico right now who will forward to Italy, and none of them has any delivered shipments yet (Parcl is still in beta, so it's pretty new). You have to decide whether you trust Parcl and their registered forwarders. If you do and this works, you can almost purchase anything from anywhere in the world!

I'm trying to see if something is possible by Mailboxes etc., a packaging and delivery company which is present in Mexico too.... anyone has already tested them this way?

Well... I gave a look at Parcl. It's surely interesting but...
- As you already seen only three forwarders reship from Mexico...
- of them, only two can compile customs documents
- of the two remaining, only one has logged in during last month...
- none of them have already a single feedback...
Would we try him? You first?

I won't, as I was only looking to import because Moto Z & Z Play weren't released in Australia last week. They were just released this week, and I most likely will purchase locally. Price isn't a big issue for me, local warranty is more important.
I won't be too bothered by the fact that the user hasn't logged in to Parcl for a month. After all, it's in beta and those people are ordinary person doing this as a side job. If I were doing the same thing, I won't login as well unless I was notified by the system that there is a potential job waiting.
It's still a risk, just like when airbnb and Uber when they started, and to some lesser extend, even now.

It's not a price matters for me too.... it's more about available versions.
In Europe they are selling only 32 GB versions, only single SIM and with only black version of MODs... at TOP prices of course!
About warranty... well, no more than 5 minutes after I would have in my hands it will be with unlocked bootloader.... so... bye bye warranty!

In Australia we have 64GB, dual SIM and both black and white versions of MODs. It's not at bargain price, but it's much easier for you to buy from Australia.

I've seen prices between 12,000 and 13.600 MXN$ on Amazon.mx in the past days... 16.000 is from Motorola.mx...
Anyway, if I decide this way, I'll be very happy to pay A BOX of beers to you if you made me this service... :highfive:
I'll decide what to do after my trip in Malaysia at the end of October. I've seen there is no Motorola.my, BUT I think they should sell it in Malaysia too... and it could be the Indian/Thai/Singapore version...
Then eventually I feel free to contact you or the Australian pal, OK? :fingers-crossed:

It's no more listed on Liverpool, but even on Amazon.mx prices have changed in these days... from 11,999 to 15,999...
As I have already said, when I'll come back from my trip in Malaysia at mid November I would decide where to buy it.
If I would go for Mexico, your offer by ebay/PayPal will be my first choice... tranquilo amigo! :good::laugh:

yes, it was only for two days, they have something named "venta nocturna" where you can buy using any payment and you have very good discounts. Also, here in mexico we have our "black friday" (buen fin) where for 4 days we have several promos and pretty good deals, from november 13 to 16, you can wait and see if any of the promos are suitable for you and of course, if you want I can sell you via ebay and paypal payment, I have no problem at all. here are the list of all the stores that will have discounts on "el buen fin" http://promociondescuentos.com/el-buen-fin-tiendas-participantes/
PS. I bought mine on Amazon on pre-sale and was $13.000, never saw it at $11,000, and also I had a $500 discount because the day of release.

I have a lot of phones in my history... htc 10, mate 8, note 5, recent and iphone 6 plus. Moto z for me is very sexy phone, motomods is a plus, and i like vanilla android, great battery adding external moto mod battery...
My average points
Htc 10 = 10 (very quality phone, the best sound on phone and the jack por headphones, sense wow)
Mate 8 = 7 (great phone, quality phone, very bad software)
Note 5 = 7 (great balance phone, a lot of garbage apps, need more vanilla android)
Iphone 6 plus = 9 (quality phone no doubt, balanced in every aspect... Ur phone and Apple owns you, think for u)
Moto z = 9.5 (no perfect physical disign and battery size...)
