Anyone know where to get these without a mark-up? Asus doesn't seem to have the 16GB/256GB. The $800 + tax is already blowing my budget, so I can't afford the mark-up to buy from an Amazon reseller.
If there is only Asus, does anyone have a line on when the only model worth getting (since there is no sd card slot) might be available again?
Thank you.

Try this one. It's the same page I bought my launch one from. Still seems solid, IMO.
EDIT: This is the USA version (version C)
There is 11.11 sale on Aliexpress, 3 days left, and it's about $760 for 8/256 model.

Make sure if you buy on Amazon, the seller is mobile advanced. Other sellers are using the listing to push non us models
Mobile Advance has the 8/256GB available for $709 + tax: https://smile.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenFo...G-BK/dp/B0BBQ9MYR6?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 (which is a better price than Asus' website.)
Spending that much, it isn't too much more to just get the additional 8GB (16GB). While Android 12 & 13 don't 'need' 16GB, every version needs better hardware.
The only 16/256 version is NGP and they want $100 bonus. At that price you are in the same territory as the ROG phones (which are just beasts, albeit impressive beasts).
Hopefully they will get some more of them out of China soon. Hard with all of the Covid closures there.

I am selling my gtab because I ran into some money issue. I love this thing but i have to let go. If you interested please pm me.
Condition: perfect. No scratches
I don't have the original box but I have everything else that came with it.
I am also including the 4gb sd card class 6.
I rooted the tab and its running cm7. it runs perfectly.
Please let me know.
I would only accept PayPal payment.
US only.
Thanks
Not sure if this the right place for such thread.
But any way to but things in prespective, the gtab is currently regularly priced @ $329 (shipped, no taxes, brand new, 12 months waranty) @ buy.com.
And if I am to sell my gtab now, I would wait untill all the debate about NVIDIA dropping support for Harmony Tegra2 (i.e. gtab) past Foryo get resolved, unless you are willing to seriously mark it down.
Best of luck,

I didn't know buy.com was selling it for 329. I should bring the price down to $300. Free shipping.
Well I need the money. So that's why I am selling the tab.
Thanks for the info.
Most places are selling the G-Tab for $299. The max price for a used (or even open-box) should be $250.
I know there's no way I'd buy a used one for the same price I can get a brand spankin, untouched new one.
Yea. True that. I should have posted the thread after looking up the average price for the tab. Thanks for the suggestion. I am hoping to find a buyer.
Amazon has them for $279 new . ( Woot is the Amazon seller) Seems that the woot auction caused a real domino effect for this tablet price wise. They are $299 at Circut City .they been going for $250 ish on Ebay now. 2 weeks ago they were $350.

I don't know what your situation is but seeing how new gTabs are being sold now for an average of $279 you may just need to suck it up and drop your price to be competitive. With the current market conditions you may find it a lot easier to unload yours for around $225.
Just something to think about.
I'm looking into getting the 16GB Korean version of the SGP because better specs and DMB. I live in the US, but I'm going to Korea this summer for two months and then moving to Korea permanently Feb 2013.
For people outside of Korea that got it, what website did you use to buy it? I've been looking across Gmarket, eBay, and just found exportprive today. About how much did you pay for it device + shipping?
I'm just thinking about cost comparison-wise whether I should get it now (because I'm sick of iTunes and the drawbacks to Apple; I have an iTouch) or wait until I'm there in June. One thing that I'm worried about that if I buy it online now and something goes wrong (like it bricks) that I'm potentially screwed unless I want to pay massive shipping fees to get it fixed (which I don't) or wait until I'm there this summer and harass someone at a Samsung mobile store.
I paid £130 for mine including shipping, on eBay. Got it fast and had no problems with it. Make sure you use pay pal though as if you get the device and its not working they will refund you ( I think ). Also I believe that for it to be bricked you have to be modifying the system and hacking it etc, in which case it would be your own fault. Hope thus helps.
Best buy for 210.00 8GB 5.0

He specifically said the Korean model... lol you've been commenting on a ton of stuff that's either old or already had answers...
unfortunately I bought in my country U$349
Starting this thread for anyone that buys the international version which releases this week... let us know where you bought it and how much you paid... I'm interested in this phone like many but have limited places in USA to look to buy (most are charging well over the actual price). This will help all of us find the cheaper places to possibly get this phone! Thanks in advance!
So far, I've found:
CLOVE UK: 644.00 pounds (around $820 USD)
EASYCELL: $1050 CAD (again around $800+)
I'm thinking this is high for this phone as if should only be $599 - $649 USD...
Go for the Chinese vesrion which is cheaper and bootloader unlockable. 537 euros only.

Not possible atm as far as I know.
I am from USA and looking to purchase the global version for a similar price as flipkart is selling in India. I want this phone but damn its hard to find one for a decent price that isnt insanely marked up.
Giztop sells for $720 for 8gb ram 256gb rom but thats the chinese version. Anyone in USA had luck finding this phone for sale?
I am trying to get a hold of the 8gb / 256gb version of the K20 Pro with band 20 within the UK but it has been a complete nightmare.
I tried from Aliexpress which lost the phone and egobalexpress which has been 'processing' for almost two weeks now.
Did people just acquire their phones from these stores or are there more reliable sellers available?
I know this version of he phone is imported from china but are there any stores where they have stock readily available so you wont have to wait for weeks to months after which you still may not receive your order?
The reliable sellers don't have any in stock, same as the aliexpress and eglobal types, but the difference is they won't let you place an order.
Your eglobal order will get cancelled as soon as you challenge them on despatch.

Would you mind letting me know which ones are legit so I can track the stock for when they do get some?
Gearbest seems to be working for me so far, but I can't give you any assurances.
I bought mine from eGlobalCentral UK.
Paid with paypal as safety precaution.
It took almost 20 days for me.
My country has an authorized official Xiaomi store and lots of retail stores under them. I can also get it from local online shops.

how long did it say processing for with your order?
Dont forget officially this is not released in the UK only the 6/128 version. I seen some selling it on eBay. They claim to be UK stock but I wont hold my breath. I don't think you would get better performance with an 8gb version, and I think its not worth it unless you would need the 256 storage. I personally went for the 6\128 version purely because the price difference, and because the EU variant would have support in the UK. No sure about the global version support though. GL any way .
I got mine from wondamobile, can't remember how long it took but it was about a week.
It was a 8/256 Hong Kong global with UK style plug.
Given the choice I'd probably just go with the 128 option, copying large amounts of data over after a ROM flash on USB 2 connection speeds takes forever ?
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!

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
