You can now buy the Sony Xperia XZ on contract from Vodafone, with monthly prices starting from £32.
This powerful midranger, unveiled at IFA 2016, packs a huge 23-megapixel camera with laser autofocus and Sony’s Predictive Hybrid technology, which promises superior performance in low light conditions.
The Sony Xperia XZ is powered by a Qualcomm 820 chip, 3GB of RAM, Android 6.0 Marshmallow (with a promised update to Nougat) and has a 5.2-inch 1080p Full HD screen. The 2,900mAh battery is bolstered by Qnovo management software and the USB port features Quick Charge 3.0.
Contracts start at £32/month and £120 up front for the Sony Xperia XZ for a 21 month contract that’ll get you 500 minutes, unlimited messages and 500MB of data.
Paying £20 up front and £48/month instead will see you getting a Vodafone Red Value 5GB Bundle, which includes unlimited texts, unlimited minutes, 5GB of data and 2GB of inclusive European roaming data, plus the choice of 6 months free Spotify Premium, Now TV Entertainment or Sky Sports Mobile TV.
If you’re after a shorter 12 month contract expect to pay more; the lowest up front price for the Xperia ZX is £130, and the cheapest contract for the phone at that price is £62/month deal; this gets you unlimited minutes, messages and 6GB of data plus 500MB of roaming data.
Paying £130 and £68/month instead sees you getting all of the above plus a 10GB data cap, 2GB to use abroad and 12 months of free Spotify, Now TV Entertainment or Sky Sports Mobile TV.
