Sony Xperia XZ2 prices and free £299 gift REVEALED ahead of big release date

The Sony Xperia XZ2 release date is just around the corner, and fans who pre-order can claim a great free gift.

Pre-orders for the Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact have begun today ahead of the smartphone’s highly anticipated release date.

And ahead of it, providers such as Three and Carphone Warehouse have unveiled their Sony Xperia XZ2 prices and offers.

Both Three and Carphone Warehouse are offering a free PS4 with GT Sport or a PS VR Starter Pack to customers that pre-order a Sony Xperia XZ2.

The PS4 500GB bundle with Gran Truismo Sport usually costs £249, while the PS VR Starter Pack is invariably sold for £299.

On Three, the cheapest Xperia XZ2 deal has monthly payments of £37 across a two year contract and requires a £99 upfront payment.

The contract includes all you can eat minutes and texts but only has 1GB of data each month.

Three also have a number of recommended deals. One of those offers the Xperia XZ2 for £46 per month and includes a £79 upfront cost.

This two year contract boasts 4GB of monthly data.

Alternatively, the Xperia XZ2 can be picked up with a £79 upfront cost and monthly payments of £54 for 30GB of monthly data.

Three has the Sony Xperia XZ2 in two different colour schemes – silver or blue and pre-orders are available until Thursday April 5.

The free PS4 or PSVR gift is only available to new or upgrading customers that purchase the Xperia XZ2 during the pre-order period.

Carphone Warehouse have also launched their Sony Xperia XZ2 deals today, with the free gift available to new and upgrading customers also.

If you’re purchasing a new plan, then the Carphone Warehouse bestseller is a Vodafone plan.

This is a 24 month contract that requires a £79.99 upfront cost and monthly payments of £39 a month.

The contract offers unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 16GB of 4G data.

An alternative contract, which offers the same amount of data, minutes and texts, has monthly payments of £45 and requires a £49.99 upfront payment.

If you’re a Vodafone customer upgrading through Carphone Warehouse, you can get the 16GB contract for £43 a month with a £49.99 upfront payment.

Alternatively, you can also pick up a 32GB contract that costs £49 a month and has a £49.99 upfront payment.

Sony unveiled its new flagship smartphones last month at Mobile World Congress with the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact both going on sale early next month.

These latest devices bring a swathe of new features to the Xperia brand including one of the fastest processors ever and a new camera which can film footage in full 4K HDR quality – the first time this has been achieved in a phone.

A new design also features with soft curves replacing Sony’s usual sharp edges, plus the XZ2 gets a glass finish which now allows it to be charged wirelessly.

This larger device can also record super slow-motion footage at 960 frames per second and in full 1080p HD quality.
