Sony Xperia 1 II smartphone officially launched at $1200

Sony’s latest Xperia 1 II smartphone gets a mouth-watering price tag of $1200 (Rs 90,000 approx). The phone goes on pre-orders in the US from 1 June onwards and start shipping from 24 July onwards. But if you pre-order one of these before 28 June, then Sony will bundle its WF-1000XM3 true wireless earbuds with the phone. It’s worth pointing out that Sony exited the Indian mobile market earlier this year. This means the absurdly priced Xperia 1 II will not be coming to the country anytime soon.

The device was initially scheduled to get launch at a press conference in MWC 2020, Barcelona. However, the company decided to drop out of the event due to the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP) outbreak.
