Pre-orders for the Sony Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact have hopped over the English channel and are now live in Germany.

You can pick between Sony’s web store, MediaMarkt and Sparhandy (the first two offer SIM-free phones, the third one has info on contracts). Deliveries are expected in late September, color choices are Black, Silver and Blue.

Whichever store you pick, the big XZ1 is €700 while its XZ1 Compact sibling is €600. If you order a phone by September 22, you can get a free pair of h.ear wireless headphones – one of 2,300 h.ear on 2 or one of 1,200 h.ear on 2 Mini. The latter costs €220 on its own, so it’s quite a deal (but only the first 3,500 customers will get a pair).
