But they still find a way to crack and do the modding.

I tried this on another D6503 zip and flashed D6502 baseband. However in this case I lost Camera function.

[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Not now. I think I will wait for some time and get it on June. By then the price should be reduced to about 44-45K. And we can also see if online retailers like Flipkart gives any cashback offers on credit cards. If it happens then we might save another 2-3K more.

Last time I bought Z1 at 44K from Reliance Digital but after 2-3 weeks it came down to 41-42K. So this time I will wait patiently.

Never convert European price to INR. It will give you nightmares ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Judging by the current trend in pricing it should be around 48K max. If they price it higher then Z2 sales will slow down. If 15th is the availability date then we should get the pricing details in another week or so.

Guys keep asking those Sony Center guys. Someone might have some correct info on price and free goodies.

Will Z2 launching in India with all advertised accessories?

I have been eagerly waiting for Xperia Z2 to be released in India. Looks like 15-May is going to be the date.

So my question is:

Will SONY release Xperia Z2 phone with all the accessories in India, as in along with bundled noise cancelling headphones and magnetic docking station? There is a chance that they might get away with these accessories in order to bring down the cost in India. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Its that high due to high percentage of VAT. Some countries have as high as 24%.

So if you were to import, from lets say "Clove" or Carphone warehouse, it'll be 48k.
[Xperia Z2 General] puneetg123:
SONY is offering Z2 in Singapore along with SmartWand free..for pre-orders obviously!
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
I'd prefer the noise cancellation ear phones and charging dock over the SmartBand anyday. Although I'm going to purchase SmartBand too.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
I don't care about charging dock or smartband as long as they keep the price low. They should just bundle the earphone as other earphones wont be able to take advantage of noise cancellation.

Also in June/July Android Wear powered devices are coming and I think buying SmartBand won't be a good choice. Specially I am interested in Moto 360 and LG G Watch.
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
They can't do what smartband can. Its not a smart watch. Its a fitness tracker and lots more!! :p
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Yeah but I think Android Wear is more than that. It will definitely combine all and Moto 360 and G Watch looks cool. It's time we ditch analog ones. Specially if Moto 360 prices it's watch under $199 then it will be a good buy. G watch is also priced at around $199 so it will be great to see if it launches in India at around 15K.
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
+1 noise cancellation are a must no doubt... i'm just dying to demo my sony xb90ex extra bass headphones on the z2. They sound gr8 on my ipod 5th gen and htc one x... i shall try it once it launches...:cyclops:

Android Wear can't be all that. ;)

Smartband =/= Smartwatch

Smartband is a fitness accessory, like Gear Fit, Razer Nabu etc.

Smartwatches are, well, watches which are smart!

I had one soft gel based transparent cover and it really look ugly and the cover become yellowish.

And the plastic based transparent cover are quite a loose and they get so scratched ultimately become bad. U can try "CNC soft bumper cover" its quite good, provide good coverage and full original feel no need of transparent cover.
[Xperia Z2 General] ashishkr:
Yes you are right.

I am using one and was white (transparent) when new but now it became quite yellowish. However, the one I am using finally has perfect fitting as well as good finishing.

Would you refer any site as I searched roughly got result with metal bumper or something (not getting that exact).

BTW it will only provide side framing, Right?

And being late in releasing the phone they are already in loss so IMO i don't think it will go beyond 48K but i want it to be around 45K rest on Sony's hand but lets hope they don't get too greedy at launch.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
