In the past couple of years, Sony has followed an unusual strategy of announcing phones without pricing and availability. The same applies to the recently announced Xperia 1 III but now we have our second hint at pricing for the top dog in Sony’s mobile division thanks to a listing in a Chinese online shop.
The 256GB storage is listed for CNY 8,499
(US$ 1,313/€ 1,084) while the 512GB version will go for CNY 9,499 (US$ 1,468/€ 1,212).
These prices are more or less what we saw from the pre-order listings on Sony’s
official web store in Russia. The Xperia 1 III will be announced on May 20 in
China.
