Three have confirmed they will be stocking the just-announced Sony Xperia Z here in the UK. They have released a hands-on video preview of the device for everyone to see.
Whilst there is no information yet on a price or release date, the fact this high end device will be coming to the network many customers prefer due to their data focus and their highly impressive DC-HSDPA network is certainly good news.

Coming soon to Three – Sony Xperia™ Z.
Today Three announces that the new premium smartphone, Sony Xperia™ Z will be coming soon to the network.
Despite its slim 7.9 mm body, it’s incredibly durable with a tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back making it robust enough to handle most conditions. It’s crafted to be dust and water resistant – perfectly suited to use outdoors, in wet or dusty conditions – bringing you peace of mind if you’re a little accident prone or if it slips out of your back pocket!
Xperia™ Z also features a superb Battery STAMINA mode and it’ll truly go the distance by improving standby time, automatically shutting down battery draining apps when the screen is off and starting them up again when the screen is back on.

Sure to delight keen Instagrammers, the smartphone has a 13 megapixel Fast Capture camera so photographers need never miss that special shot again.
