Sony Xperia 10 II was announced back in February and it should have been released by the company at its online event at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2020). MWC 2020 was set to run from February 24th to February 27th but it has been canceled due to the health concerns in the wake of Coronavirus. The company later announced the Xperia 10 II’s recommended retail price in Europe. In Europe, the Sony Xperia 10 II was priced at 370 Euros. Now, the official price of this device in the UK is made clear by an online retailer.
The Xperia 10 II is available for pre-order from Clove Technology Store and is priced at £319.98 in the United Kingdom. Anyone can pre-order the device but the device will only be shipped on or after June 15th. This is an unusual strategy considering that it is taking almost four months to pass from a device’s announcement to its availability.
