Thanks for the information. I really like this time Xperia phone. But unfortunately Xperia is not available in my country. I live in Sri Lanka. But I am really disappointing about the product availability. I hope sony will do some international shipping someday.

I have the xperia 1

Was going to buy the X5 for my wife, however she wants the red one.

Which crazy guy decided not to sell the red phone in the UK? Lost a sale here and that red would be hugely popular.

Agreed, the red looks so lush.

@amd_2012, you're very welcome.

I can't do much about the product availability I'm afraid as those decision are made up by people way above my pay grade and since we do not offer international warranty and the specific device has to be launched in the market where you want it serviced, I'm not quite sure that international shipping would help that much.

Even when you import the device that is not launched in the country where you are situated, you will not be able to use operator specific services such as VoLTE and Voice over Wi-Fi and you will have to send the device to the country where it was bought, so it's a lot of hazzle.

@GilgameshUK, that's a shame.

We are lucky here in the Nordics as we get the 3 best colours, at least according to me (Black, Blue and Red) and we don't get the grey one, which I personally don't fancy that much.

I really have no idea how it works when it's decided which colours should be available in certain markets, but I do remember my friend in the UK said that some colour was exclusive to a certain retailer in the UK for the Xperia XZ3, if I'm not mistaken. Might have been the green or the red one.

Not sure if this is the case for the red Xperia 5 though as the colour is not mentioned on the UK website at all.

Hopefully you can turn the wife around and tell her how awesome the blue one is, but usually when someone has decided they want a specific colour, they won't change their mind.

@RottenFoxBreath, agreed!

I do really like the blue one as well, but there is something about the red colour which makes it really pop and stand out from the rest.

I remember the XZ Premium that was launched in a few countries in a red colour and it looked stunning, however that colour was never released in the Nordics..

I think they best option is to get in touch with the Local support team in your market (I assume it's the UK) and see if they have any information regarding to why the red colour is not available there, because I don't have this information, not even for the Nordics.

Have a great day everyone!

Thanks for the reply. I am really sad that Sony is not available in Asia and my country. So I can buy Huawei or Nokia from here. Thats so sad.i hope Sony will give international warranty like Apple.

Hi @amd_2012, you're very welcome and I understand that it's not fun having to buy a device from a different brand when you really want a device from a specific brand but it's not available.

I can see that the Xperia 5 is listed on the Taiwanese website and will be able available there if that helps you in any way, but if you buy it from there it will also need to be sent to service there, since a device can't be repaired in a market/country where it's not launched.

Hi Jonas

Thanks for the reply. I will check it. but I don't think they will ship it to my country. if someone comes from there can buy it I think. My bro bought Xperia z5 in 2015 from Singapore. That one work really well. Now he changed it to Huawei mate 30 pro coz sony is not available here. I can understand that if something happens to my device its really difficult process to get the warranty or repair. I still using my Xperia z1 as my main phone because of its so compact and great device. Hope if sony will consider the international warranty like apple care. In my country, VOLTE or VOwifi is only working with Huawei, Samsung and apple. So that's not a big issue for me for now. Anyway thanks again for your help.

Did you read Sonymobile blog about Xperia 5?

We answer the questions you’ve been asking about the new Xperia 5

Re: Xperia 5 availability

Jonas — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:10:21 GMT

@amd_2012, you're very welcome and I understand it's not optimal, but that is pretty much the only solution if the device will not be launched where you are situated, but keep in mind regarding the service aspect and warranty.

Hopefully a repair will never be needed, but you never know!

@SwapXperia, hi and thank you for showing interest in the Xperia 1 and Xperia 5.

None of the devices are listed on the website for India, but you can of course double check with the support there, but it usually means that the devices are not planned to be launched there.

For compatibility, the supported bands for the Single SIM and Dual SIM versions can be found below and you can check with your operator which bands they support and if the device needs to be activated in their network, or if it will work any way.

UMTS HSPA+: 2100(Band 1), 1900(Band 2), 1700(Band 4), 850(Band 5), 800(Band 6), 900(Band 8),
800(Band 19) MHz
GSM GPRS/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
LTE: (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,34,38,39,40,41,46,66)

I hope that helps!

Hello everyone!

@Umi12, Timing and availability will vary by market so I won't be able to tell you exactly when it will be released or if it will be released in Pakistan, since I don't work directly with that market.

If there is a Local support team available there, I would recommend that you get in touch with them as they are the experts on this specific market.

@PDas, I'm not in charge of making those kind of decisions, but I will of course forward the feedback to the relevant department.

Thank you for the kind words!

@mucinhanoi365, Non-root call recording apps are blocked and will not work on devices running on Android 9.0. This is a Google implementation and works as designed.

I don't know if this will be changed in Android 10 since it's not yet available to any of our devices.

@shovan3977, neither of the devices are listed on the Indian Sony Mobile website, which usually means the device has not been released there, or will not be released.

You can of course double check this with the Support team in India and you can get in touch with them on the link below.

https://support.sonymobile.com/in/contactUs/

Regarding importing, you will need to get in touch with different sellers/retailers and see if the ship to India, but keep in mind that we do not offer a Global warranty and the specific device has to be launched in India for you to have it serviced there within the warranty.

@Yasserhamido, I'm afraid that I don't know the exact release date for all markets, so I would recommend that you check this with your Local support team.

They will provide you with a much more detailed answer than I can.

Thank you all for showing interest in the Xperia 5!

Hi @Yupe, that is a really good question!

I'm afraid that I don't have a good answer for you, but I saw that there very users from the UK that wanted the red colour which is not available there.

I'll do something more digging as I'm interested in this myself!

@AdonisDennis, I'm glad to hear that!

If you are able to charge the device during the day, there is a quick charger included in the box that will charge around 50% in 30 minutes!
