Sony knows it is doing very well this year 2013. The previous year was its first solo after the acquisition of Ericsson's part of the company. They decided not to get into the high-end market, and to stay slightly below with the Xperia S and Xperia T. This year they have gone all out with the Xperia Z, leaving the Sony Xperia ZL for other markets. However, it seems that it will also reach Europe.
This is confirmed by Phone House, the well-known chain of stores, which affirms that it will arrive in German lands, in Germany, throughout the month of April. It will do so with an interesting price of 549 euros, below the price of its older brother, and in two different and opposite colors, black and white. Although we are not sure if it will reach other countries, it seems logical that Germany will not be the only bet of the Japanese in the European market. In the first place, taking a device to a single country when you have others nearby where the sale of the smartphone could be interesting does not seem the smartest thing to do. Second, Germany is not exactly the country where they are having the worst economic time to have to take the variation of the lowest price of the smartphone there as well.
On the other hand, precisely this difficult economic situation is what could make a country with more limitations, if given a choice, to opt for the cheap, instead of the more expensive and more complete. Even so, Spain is a country where Phone House has a presence and where users tend to buy many smartphones, although it may seem surprising. Also, Sony has a lot of ground gained, so it's easy for them to choose to launch the Sony Xperia ZL.
In this way, it is possible that during the month of April we will also see the Sony Xperia ZL, which is nothing more than a somewhat reduced version of the Sony Xperia Z. It does not have the certifications of resistance to water and dirt. And it is also somewhat more limited. Even so, it shares the essentials and is a great smartphone.
