Is there any website that would ship to the US? I really wish I could jump on the deal on the UK that comes with free watch GT and free wireless charger but I know that won't happen but is there at least a website that would sell the phone and ship to the US? Or we are stuck with having to wait months until they start showing up on swappa and ebay?

Thanks! I thought about it again an since I would not qualify for the free gift it would be $1,180 for literally just the phone since the supercharge 2.0 would not be compatible with US plug. Being able to charge 70% in 30 minutes was one of the big pros for buying this phone but without that I think I'll have to hold on with the Note 9 for a long time, maybe when the S10+ comes out I'll compare with this and if Mate 20 pro is still better I'll look again a way to buy it cheaper then

Didn't think of that
You can pre-order a Mate 20 PRO on Amazon.co.uk. The models do not appear to be carrier specific, which I assume means they are unlocked. Amazon specifies in the listing that "This item does not ship to the United States." Undeterred, I decided to see whether I could order the device and specify a US shipping address, which worked fine.
Questions:
Will amazon ship the item to the US even though it says it won't? When might they catch the error?
Are these UK devices unlocked? The listing does not say unlocked, but they are also not tied to any specific carrier.

Pre order bonuses only ship to UK though. Would of pulled trigger if I got the watch and charger too. I'll wait till the spring and see if any SD8150 flagships match the features in this phone or if Huawai tops itself with the P30 pro.

Well it's nice they didn't charge you VAT. Will you use an US to UK adapter for the supercharger 2.0 plug or will you just use another slower charger and type C cable (when not using wirleess charging) to charge the phone?
I wonder if Huawei is planning on manufacturing at all any superchargers 2.0 with the US plug
About the watch and and wireless charger unfortunately all the websites I've seen specify in bold and/or red letters that gifts are claimed on hauwei website after receiving the phone (similar to samsung gifts) and they'll be shipped ONLY to UK address. So you'd qualify but you'd still need a UK address :/
First what's VAT and second are uk and eu models the same?

VAT is like taxes, £749 without VAT and £899 w/VAT.
I assume the charger plug and software are different on US and EU models but not sure about any hardware differences

VAT in EU averages 20%. America does not have this. So instead of 1300$ shipped the phone was 1000$.
As far as the gift, I plan on using a mail forwarding service. They provide a UK address and forward the package to you for like 30$.

Sorry, didn't want to stomp into someones thread about when it was release in the US, so thought I'd ask about the UK.
Is it possible to get around here yet? In the UK? I know the release date is later in July, but sometimes you can find them knocking about beforehand.

looks like the 20th of july.

Use PP0509 to get £5 off the price and they also offer £30 of vouchers you can use with them.

I found it at device wire for £400 and it comes with a car charger, case and screen protector.
Also does anyone know if it comes with a mem card?

Hey all ,
I want to buy this watch and I noticed many sells on eBay from south korea.
watch has a very good price and according to the list it should work fine in my country as far as bands.
also asked the seller if I'll get FOTA updates and he said that yeah.
so my question is , can anyone think on other reasons why I shouldn't buy it from there?
sell for example : http://www.ebay.com/itm/321576361962
Thanks for your help
On the side of pessimistic, I'm always very careful about ordering anything from overseas. Mainly cuz what if something goes wrong???
Once i ordered a fairly expensive HD IP Cam from Asia, and when it arrived it was clearly a fake. The worse case I know of, is a co-worker that ordered an Galaxy
S5 from Korea at a great price.
After a few weeks, weird things began happening.
By utilizing a few sites that specialize in spotting fakes, he would've never been able to tell that he got taken and bought a cheap clone. And the kicker of this story, the fine print in the con's listing forced ebay to rule in his favor.
So overall, try to order products from US vendors and be sure to read the description in its entirety.
Sorta like the guy that bought a picture of a gold iPhone for big $$$, cuz he didn't read (or maybe doesn't know how).
Good luck!!!

I think that for hige-end devices such as this it would be very easy to spot a fake product , for example , curved screen is not something that every manufacturer can make.
and as you said , ebay buyer protection plan can always save you.
in addition there's the whole feedback system that if you know how to work with you can figure within 2-5 minutes of investigation if the seller is reliable or not.
my main concerns are about the version of the watch , will all apps work on it etc.

Don't be so sure on the looks alone. Take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/gear-s-150-t3001480
First off. This model won't work in the US.
There are a lot of different versions of the GS... Each for a different segment of the world. I would do some 2G/3G/4G frequency research on the model you're buying and the provider you'll be using it with. Also, make sure it's factory unlocked... Trying to get it unlocked from another country would near impossible.

yeah , $150 for a brand new watch is of course a ripoff.

Thinking about getting the LTE version of this tablet for use in a car.
BUT,,, I'm finding out quickly that it's not sold in most stores.
Where will I find the best price, from an authorized seller so I can get a warranty?
Also, the safest buy I've found so far (no warranty) is from Amazon. They say it's an "International" version. I assume all of the LTE are International versions?
Will it work fine at LTE speeds for data on T-Mobile?
And I can root/ROM it?
I got bit by buying an LTE Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that as it turns out, cannot be rooted. So I'm hesitant to make the same mistake again.
http://www.amazon.com/COMPACT-SGP621GB-UNLOCKED-International-Warranty/dp/B00NGQKBGS
Bought from Amazon. You won't get warranty at USA for sure. You can root and upgrade to lollipop without problem. It works with AT&T, Tmobile LTE without problem. But Tmobile will recongnize this device as tablet so that you can only get data plan only or voice plan without data. You can use AT&T with both voice and lte. Or you can switch to PTel which uses tmobile network.

Wow, I just searched the website of all the medium to large authorized dealers and NOBODY even sells the SGP621.
Even the Sony Store doesn't sell it.
Authorized dealers:
http://store.sony.com/-cms-page.sony.authorized.retailer.network
Because they didn't sell lte model at USA yet. You can only get wifi model at Sony store or other retail stores. All LTE models are international without USA warranty. But Amazon at least gives you 30 days to verify and play to see if it fits your needs.

Bought mine from amazon.de (German Amazon site) for 400 USD. Pay in Euro, at checkout the VAT should be removed. Cut my micro SIM to a nano and plugged it in. Rooted and upgraded to Lollipop and have LTE with AT&T. Worked like a charm.

I figured it out. Amazon offers multiple sellers for items sometimes.
I just had to manually select Amazon as the seller instead of the default seller.
Just bought it for $409 shipped using the Express shipping option.
The default shipping option was $400 shipped.
Thanks for the heads up Muchoman, you helped me out!
The cheapest alternate I found was Expansys for $489.
Good deal bro. I got mine within a week (bought on Monday morning, received next Monday). Have fun!

Only downside is they seemingly don't have the 128gb, which I'm hopeful will be available soon in the UK along with the UK plugs. If not I guess I'll just have the 64gb. Currently will only cost around 380 euro which is dirt cheap!!

From what i have understood on the MWC presentation. It will be officially available on the 28 February.
Currently I only saw the 64gb in French and Italian store.
In Holland there is 128gb but only in black yet. But that was the color I want.

But why so anxious about the UK plug? You can use or buy a charger with UK pins? Or else there are converters. I would choose that above 64gb.

Thanks for that, though I see they don't deliver to UK (couldn't select UK as delivery country option, only Netherlands or Belgium.
I think my preference to buy UK is yeah to have a UK plug but also should anything go wrong with it, I could deal with it here and not have to send the phone abroad etc. But I'm still open to the idea of getting a European plug device, so long as the price is good and 128gb! I'm just tempted to hold off for the 2 or 3 days, as it'd be great if I can then order from Amazon UK or even pick it up for the Xiaomi London store...
Anyone know where I can get the Blue 6gb/128gb version and shipped to the US?
So far, I've seen Giztop offering it for $610 USD but available at the end of March..

hopefully xiaomi will sell it here from 28th or it will be on amazon, it is weird to me as CZ does have official xiomi redistributors etc.

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.
£655 at tecobuy https://www.tecobuy.co.uk/en_UK/sony-xperia-5-ii-5g-daul-sim-8gb-256gb-blue-5.html

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
bol.com has quite cheap prices
