I’m seriously at times amazed at the people who are in charge of Sony Mobile. One of the most peculiar announcements when the Xperia X family was unveiled was that Sony would not be offering the Performance model in the UK and Germany. This always struck me as an odd choice, seeing how Germany and the former EU member UK (too soon?) are one of the richest countries in the region. Why would you not offer your best and most expensive device there?

Luckily Sony eventually shifted course and announced the release of the Xperia X Performance in the UK, albeit in limited availability. Now they’ve done the same for Germany.

 Well it looks like Sony Mobile Germany has changed its mind, as the company now has the Xperia X Performance on pre-order via the official Sony Mobile Store for €699. In addition, Amazon.de also has the handset in stock at the same price. The device is due to be released in Germany in the first week of July 2016. 

For all I know, there was a perfectly fine reason for the X Performance to skip those countries but for the life of me, I cannot seem to find one.

Discuss:

Are you pleased about the availability of the X Performance in Germany soon?
