Sony Xperia Z2 price and availability: here's where you can buy one from

Alernatively, the Xperia Z2 can be ordered unlocked from Expansys, but for a heftier price – CA$869.99, to be more specific. And if you don't mind the wait, Sony's smartphone is available for pre-order from the official Sony store, priced at CA$699.99 for any color variant.

All major carriers in the UK have the Sony Xperia Z2 in stock. Pricing, however, may vary, depending on which carrier and which plan you choose to go with.

Everything Everywhere is willing to sell you a Z2 for £59.99 with a 2-year monthly plan costing £39.99. This gets you 2GB of 4G data together with unlimited calls and texts. Other plans are available in case you need more (or less) data, or if you find the rate too steep. The phone is in stock and ready to be delivered within a day.

O2 is where you'll find the Xperia Z2 in purple, although the black model is also available. The carrier's recommended plan includes 2GB of 4G data and costs £38 per month, plus a £29.99 upfront cost. Alternatively, the Z2 can be had for £609.99 on a Pay & Go tariff, in case you aren't a big fan of long-term commitments.

On Vodafone, the black and white Sony Xperia Z2 are being offered for free on a £42 or £47 per month, 2-year contract. Two or four gigs of data respectively, along with unlimited texts and minutes, are inlcuded in the plan. Cheaper plans are also available, although picking one of these will bring the phone's upfront cost to as much as £249. 

And if Three is your carrier of choice, you can pick a Sony Xperia Z2 with a plan of your choice. The most affordable one costs £35 per month plus a £49 upfront cost and features 2GB of data, 600 minutes, and unlimited texts. On a Pay As You Go plan from Three, the Z2 costs £549.99 and you'll be charged a minimum of £10 extra per add-on or top-up. Note that the carrier's stock is low at the moment so delays with online orders are expected.

The Sony Xperia Z2 is also on sale from Phones4u, with monthly contract costs varying between £37.99 and £57, depending on what you want it to include. Many tariffs that provide you the phone for free are also available. Carphone Warehouse has the Xperia Z2 in stock as well, and to make its offers even more tempting, the retailer is giving a £100 credit when you trade in any smartphone. Costs of monthly plans with EE, O2, and Vodafone range from £39.99 to £53, with no up-front payment for the phone required.

If you prefer your handset unlocked, Expansys has the Z2, in either black or white, for £544.99. Clove, however, seems to be offering a better deal – £540 for an unlocked Sony Xperia Z2, with wireless speaker and noise-cancelling earphones included for free. The purple variant of the device is expected to come at a later time.
