Sony Xperia 1 II launches in Japan on May 22

Japanese carrier KDDI has announced that it will begin selling the Sony Xperia 1 II on May 22, priced at JPY 133,600 (€1,145;INR 94,000;$1,243, converted), for the lone 8/256GB variant.

NTT docomo is also expected to release the Xperia 1 II to its Japanese customers soon.

There's still no official word on the exact date of the global release of the Xperia 1 II, much to the disappointment of the many holding out for the Sony flagship. It was expected that the Xperia 1 II would launch globally by the end of May, but if that's to happen we should see pre-orders open very soon.

Sony announced the Xperia 1 II back in February and it has a 6.5-inch 4K OLED display, a triple 12MP camera with regular, 16mm ultrawide and 3x telephoto sensors, eye autofocus for the main and ultrawide cameras and a 4,000mAh battery.
