Sony Hong Kong now says Sony Xperia Z2 is delayed until June

The delayed launch of the Sony Xperia
Z2 has become a major problem for
the Japanese manufacturer. After all,
this particular model is expected to
take on competitors like the Samsung
Galaxy S5 and the HTC One (M8) . Early
news about the delay had the phone
launching in late April/early May
. Nearly two weeks later, Sony U.K.
was telling retailer Clove not to
expect delivery of the handset until
May
.
But even that time frame might be too
optimistic. Sony Hong Kong is now
confirming that the flagship phone
won't be released until June. This has
to be disheartening for those who saw
the phone unveiled at MWC in late
February and have been patiently
waiting for the release of the Xperia
Z2. In the U.S., there is speculation
that the phone will be a Verizon
exclusive with a Q2 launch
.
Sony might have boxed itself into a
corner. With the Japanese
manufacturer releasing a new flagship
model every 6 months, by the time the
Xperia Z2 sees the light of day, its
successor could be due. Remember,
Sony Mobile’s Creative Director
Kurozumi Yoshiro called the Xperia Z2
Sony's flagship model for the first half
of the year. If the delay stretches out
any longer, buyers might decide to
wait for the Sony Xperia Z3
which would force Sony to take a
hatchet to its pricing for the Xperia
Z2. Shortages of parts needed for the
device are being blamed for the delay.
