Xperia Z1 heading to all major UK carriers

The Xperia Z1 will be heading to all major UK carriers when it launches over the next few weeks. Most of the operators are offering their own incentives to entice new owners, typically either the SmartWatch 2 or DSC-QX10 free with new contracts. For those looking for a sim-free bundle, then Sony UK is currently offering a Sony SmartWatch 2 with metal strap when you pre-order the Xperia Z1 for £599. For more details see below.

Sony

Sony UK has the Xperia Z1 listed for £599.00 for delivery at the end of this month. However, if you add the phone to your basket, you will also be prompted to add the Sony SmartWatch 2 with metal strap for free. This isn’t advertised anywhere on the site from what we can see and makes it better to order from Sony.co.uk rather than the SonyMobile website, where no such offer exists. Details here.
