Buying z ultra in 2016 - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hello guys, my Z ultra decided to die and i need new one, i ordered one from ebay listed as new but i recived refubrished device and had to return it and few days ago i ordered from amazon seller that has really good ratings but my order has been cancelled because they no longer have it
Can someone tell me where to buy this phone brand new with international shipping to Croatia, i really need this phone
Please help me
Thanks in advance.

I doubt its possible. Google stopped their playstore version in 2014 and highly doubtful anyone has any inventory of NEW ones. Best bet is to find a good quality used one like on swappa. No idea if sellers there ship internationally. I'll be selling mine in a few months if a quality replacement ever appears - hopefully there is a market for z ultra

Its better to get a replacement for the Z Ultra now....Chinese brand OEM got some selection of bigger screens, bigger ram and better processor.

Share your experience if you bought op2 from another source other than op

I have found about 7 to 8 sites selling the OP2 without an invite .of course with higher prices but some for nearly the same price as oneplus excluding shipping. So if you are one of those who bought it this way, please share your experience.
Bought mine through swappa. It's the way to go. Got the device plus bumper plus swapstyle cover for an incredible price. Have used this site many times and have had a tremendous amount of good luck

I bought mine from a guy on. Craigslist. It was unopened. and he had he receipt and everything. Came with case also.
You guys living across the pond have got it all ?
Any international experiences?
I bought it from oppomart. I live in Lithuania and we have huge taxes from third party countries .. but oppomart offers international shipping without taxes. So i bought OPT and it arrived after 9~10days like they said. Everything works fine till now, happy with price and delivery so far.
To overcome taxes they ship your phone to France (in my case) and then reshipped to my country directly. You can track your order online no problem. So in my experience i highly recommend oppomart. They have pretty good support too, answered my every message almost instantly.
Bought my OPT from Aliexpress and it arrived within a week. At first I was glad to see that my phone was legit and properly working. It came preconfigured in my language and prerooted. However there was no OTA option available...
In the first week I experienced a lot of bloatware and popups which were very annoying. After roaming around xda forums and gaining some knowledge about the device I decided to give it a try and flash oxygen OTA. I have bumped into a couple problems on the road but am very happy I did.
My OPT now works perfectly and no more popups to be found!
Overall, very happy with my device and Ali (except the bloatware and popups.)
Do not trust Oppomart.
I buy two time from oppomart first time they sent me a new phone, second time a used phone, I sent back and they stole me 400 euro on refound.
“I’m sorry the packet arrived empty are you sure you put the phone inside?”
Come on!
I buy from aliexpress and pandawill, it never happen something like this
Bought it from Swappa too unopened. It came sealed. I've made it my daily driver but I'm not 100% sure on it only because of the battery. I have an LG G4 with the Zerolemon battery. I can be so wreckless with that zerolemon battery. Still the main reason I bought the Oneplus 2 is the dual sim feature and its pure stock android.
Still getting used to the phone. Just now have to worry about the battery life. Other than that a great experience
Bought mine from oppomart. At first start the home button did not work but after OTA update it works. Strangely no bloatware has popped up, yet there was a chinese music video of some rock band on it . Still I'm happy with the phone works great.
I got mine at sham shui po here in Hong Kong for hk$2950 ($380).
It's not the most common device among the cellphone shops here, but you can easily find stock if you ask around. Some even have demo units (of course running hydrogen OS).
So far I'm happy with the decision.

I used Oppomart. Tracked my box from Asia to France and then to UK. The day after which it was delivered. Got an A2001 model with free UK adapter for the EU plug, a pre-installed Oxygen 2.0, a couple of cases and a tempered glass cover all for just over £300.
I have not found any faults or experienced any unexpected issues. I am a happy shopper.
Bought mine from swappa. Phone was mint and came with bamboo and Kevlar back covers, a translucent grey protective cover, a tempered glass screen protector and a type C USB adapter. All for less then what the phone alone would have cost new. It was 3 weeks old and receipt was included as well.... Not a mark on it!!
I bought mine on open sale!!!!

Got mine from a local online store here in the Philippines, a lot of gadget online stores here are offering OP2.
I think they got it from HK. Got min with OxygenOS 2.0.2 already.
Bought my OPT from Aliexpress for 375€ + 20€ DHL shipping to Austria. It took about one week to arrive in perfect condition. No taxes as promised by the seller. The phone is the chinese version, but it came with pre installed (bloatwarefree) Oxygen OS 2.1.0. OTA update to 2.1.1 worked fine.
I have an opportunity to buy a mint 64gb model on craigslist for $350. Im considering it so i can return my m9 to tmobile. The battery life stinks. Im a bit weary because the oneplus i had a year ago lagged like hell for me.

Where to buy a Z3 camera replacement

Hi guys I'm in need of a camera replacement for my Z3. Has anyone ever needed one too? What do you recommend I buy? I've seen some on Amazon and eBay and at witrigs.com. They cost around $25 and they all seem to come from China. So I don't know from which site to order.
Witrigs would be the best as for now they are the only one known to me that sell OEM parts or atleast the best replacement parts available
Agree with @kristijan15 http://www.witrigs.com/ is your best option.
Thanks for your replies, yeah I think you're right. I'll do it.
Forgot about this post. I finally bought my camera, but didn't buy it from witrings.com. I remembered about AliExpress and checked it out. I bought it there from Zero Enterprise LTD seller, it cost me $18.89 including shipping. So far I can't find a difference, it's still 20.7 MP, and 12800 ISO and all the same stuff I had before. I've been using Pexomod 8.5 and it works great with it too. So that's a cheaper option to get an original Xperia Z3 camera, at least from that seller.

Moto Z on contract UK

Just wondering if anyone knows when this phone will be available on contract in the UK?
The phone is available on Amazon UK and a few other online retailers. But doesn't seem to be in any high street shops, no phone shops like Carphone Warehouse (who hadn't even heard of it when I asked) and I can't find so much of a mention anywhere about being available or even coming soon on any contract providers (EE, Vodaphone, O2 ect).
Is the phone just not officially released yet in the UK?, if so anyone know when its official release is?
I guess it's a very low key launch here in UK. Certainly anyone wandering into a phone shop will have no idea it there is such a thing. Local Carphone Warehouse/PC World has a display with Moto phones on but no Z or Z Play. Early days yet and you may find it with one of the online retailers offering contracts but can't see Vodafone/EE etc offering it direct. Could be wrong ... frequently am
Seems odd if they don't start offering it for contract on all the major providers at some point in the near future, I mean the Moto X is widely available.
Just bought myself one off ebay in brand new condition for £350 anyway though so never mind I suppose
Be interested to know what you think of it once you get it.
I have an X Style and although I've got on well with it I find myself looking for the next thing. I might have given a moto z a try but not keen on paying £500 for a new one.

Where to buy from?

Let's get a list of places where this will be selling including importing.
WondaMobile expecting to ship by Oct 15th. This is with 256gb rom £759 which is slightly cheaper than UK pricing with double storage. https://www.wondamobile.com/sony-xperia-5-ii-8gb-ram-256gb-sim-free-unlocked.html
Otto (and maybe others?) offers a promotion product (Sony »WF-1000XM3 True Noise Cancelling«) additional to the mobile: https://www.otto.de/p/sony-xperia-5...2-mp-kamera-1225041412#variationId=1225041413
It is already available here in Sweden since a few days ago for ca 865€ bundled with WH1000XM3 headphones.
I am waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro but this is tempting too. I could buy it, sell the headphones and get some of the cash back so phone will be closer to my budget but I am not sure if I wanna do that since the front camera is same as on Xperia 1 II and that one was so crappy according to user reviews so what if this one is crappy too. Also no 30w or faster charging like on Chinese brand phones.
Any other places selling the 256gb model?
Be good to know if there is any way to get hold of the elusive grey model here in the UK. Not interested in black or blue, but the overseas sites like Expansys only have black blue or pink. Grey seems to be available in Europe, but not UK - unless Vodafone get it as an exclusive colour which they normally do with Xperias.
Vodafone always last to the party adding Xperias to their site though which is annoying.

Yes, exactly. Poor front camera and also missing wireless charging / face unlock are the real issues that bugs me on such a nice phone for US$950. Still can't understand why Sony used such a bad Samsung (!) sensor on their top tier "Photo Pro" smartphone. That's ridiculous!
Buy swedish products from the UK

Is there anyway you know I can get the Sweden deal from the UK? In the website it appears you can only use Sweden as country for delivery.
That grey model + the better WH1000 compared to the h.ear 3 headphones looks really enticing.

Would love the same thing. Doesn't look like its possible. Really annoying Sony hasn't given the UK the grey model.

I don't think so unfortunately.
I think all Sony deals are country specific.
Belsimpel had a 300€ cashback offer on Xperia 1 II so could get the phone for ca 735€ after cashback but only if you have a NL address.
Same with this offer, you need Swedish address.
I preordered the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro for 650€. They are giving away Xiaomi Mi Essential Electric Scooter worth ca 300€ for free if you pre order before 21st October.
For me that's a better deal since I don't need headphones and I find the scooter more useful.

For any US buyers I highly suggest getting it from WondaMobile. I ordered mine last Wednesday 10/21/20 and selected free shipping. It was listed as 9-12 business days, but I just got it yesterday 10/26/20. Even shipping from Hong Kong it got here that fast. WondaMobile pays import taxes if you are outside of Europe, and you get more than one color, 5G support, 256gb. I ordered the blue model and it worked with my existing TMobile sim out of the box. It cost me 955 USD, 5 dollar premium to Sony's direct pricing the US, except you the more colors, 256gb, and you get it before December. Sadly no bonus goodies like some EU sellers, but it is easily the best way to get your hands on one in the US.

Does unlock mean the bootloader is also unlocked?
Btw, "... and install essential apps" and "Our software preparation exceeds that of all competitors." sounds fishy comming from an HK (China) reseller

I ordered from Clove on Tuesday. They've not sent it yet despite now saying in stock. I went to Amazon and phone getting delivered today. I have emailed Clove to cancel pre order but they've not replied yet.

Just to let you know, I called Clove today and they said that there's a problem with the distributor in the UK.
According to clove the distributor upgraded their software system and messed it up so the stock is stuck in their warehouse.
Apparently clove offered to go and collect it but the distributor said they would still need to mark the inventory as having gone out which they are struggling to do...
They are hoping for the phones to get sent out later in the week
I've got the refund from them now. In the end though I am returning the phone to Amazon, mainly due to the side buttons. I don't like them!
Two week delay on mine. Got an e-mail from Sony offering me a free 'cover' due to the delay. I'm in two minds to take them up on the offer.
Quote - '
Unfortunately we are facing delivery delays due to a technical issue in our warehouse. We are expecting a two week delay to your order. To thank you for your patience we would like to offer you the Xperia 1 III Cover, RRP £34.99, free of charge.'
Plus I got a Google Nest Hub 7" shipped to me by mistake instead of the headphones. I need those ear warmers. Winter is coming.
Well I've been using the mk3 for a bit next to my s21 ultra and one of them need to go back under the 14 day cooling period lol just don't know which one to keep
Must admit the mk3 display is great but not very bright compared to the s21 ultra even just playing hdr videos indoors
Cameras are both good (s21 ultra is amazing with zoom though)
Battery life seems better on the s21 ultra (even though I have the exynos variant)
Just something about the Sony in the hand and the software just feels better
Aahhhh need to make my mind up quickly lol
Good news, they beat the two week delay by three days. Going to retire my Poco F1. It served me well up until I broke the screen. It's still my alarm clock. I'm waiting on an update about my headphones from the shippers, I chased them up today and they are still looking into it. If I don't get anything satisfactory from them within a week, I'll calling Sony. The free cover with stand is out of stock but I think I'll pass on that.
Ordered mine from Amazon UK last week shipping between end of September to end of October
Anyone been in a similar situation and got theirs early?
Amazon had a few units ship direct from Sony. Everyone else was waiting on the distributor (either Exertis or Ingram Micro, not sure which) due to their IT system ****up which was spectacular. Clove were more patient than I would have been but I guess every wholesaler was in the same boat. A singularly unimpressive start to this phone launch, with stony silence from Sony UK. I received my unit from Clove last Saturday.
