Hong Kong won't see Xperia Z2 until June
If you're been eagerly awaiting the release of Xperia's Z2 handset and you live in Hong Kong, then we've got some bad news.
The smartphone won't be released in Hong Kong until June of this year. Sony has been mum on exactly why there's been a delay in the launch of the Z2, but it better be for a good reason.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 will be dropping in the region this month, and Sony will be coming late to the party, leaving many potential buyers out of reach.
Another possible problem is the impending arrival of IFA 2014 in three months. It's at this event that we typically see Sony announce and release new handsets, and rumor has it that the Z3 will make its debut. If this is the case, then Sony may find themselves having a difficult time selling Z2s, unless the phones are priced very competitively.
