Sony today said it plans to bring its Xperia X range of handsets to the U.S. market beginning in June. The Xperia X is available for preorder starting today from Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo Video, and Reagan Wireless for $550. The phone ships June 26. Preorders for the Xperia X Performance, Xperia XA, and Xperia XA Ultra begin June 19 and ship in July. The X Performance costs $700, the XA costs $280, and the XA Ultra costs $370. Sony is offering three free Sony Pictures movies and the Sony Quick Charger with preorders for all four phones. Sony initially announced the Xperia X series at Mobile World Congress in February. The X series replaces the Z series as Sony's main line of smartphones. The X and X Performance are the high-end models, boasting 23-megapixel main cameras, 13-megapixel selfies cameras, and 5-inch full HD screens. The phones include support for some US LTE bands, but Sony has yet to specify which. People who preorder the Xperia X and X Performance will receive a 128 GB memory card.
