Sony Xperia Z5 Compact hits the stores in Europe

Mini-flagship aficionados across Europe rejoice. The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact is now available for purchase in multiple countries throughout the continent.

In the UK, major retailer Carphone Warehouse has the smartphone listed for £450 sans contract and is the only one to offer the Coral and White color options. Carrier O2 has the Compact too, with your choice of plan, and MVNO giffgaff will sell you one for £429 up front or in £18.50 monthly installments for two years. So far, if you insist on the Yellow color, you need to go to O2.

Amazon UK will carry the smartphone as well, but availability is planned for October 5. Sony's official store has the Compact in pre-order state, listed at £429.

In other countries official is the way to go, with local Sony websites in Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden listing the smartphone as in stock. Sony Germany has it on pre-order, but you can pick up one from Amazon, though supply is still somewhat limited.

Sony Xperia Z5 up for pre-order in Hong Kong and Singapore

Pre-orders for Sony's latest flagship Xperia Z5 are steadily covering more markets world-wide, though the smartphone is yet to actually start shipping. The company's Hong Kong and Singapore stores have now opened pre-orders too, and in Hong Kong you can go ahead and reserve a Z5 Compact as well.

The price for the Xperia Z5 (Z5 Dual, too) in Hong Kong is listed at HKD 5,698 ($735), while the Z5 Compact is expectedly cheaper and goes for HKD 4,798 ($620). The pre-order period ends on October 5, and the phones are scheduled to start shipping on October 7.



Meanwhile in Singapore you can only pre-order the Xperia Z5, and not the Compact. The price is set at SGD 998, which translates to $700. With pre-orders stretching to October 11, shipping will apparently commence a week after Hong Kong. If it's any consolation though, Sony will be bundling a DK52 microUSB charging dock free of charge.
