Deal: Sony Xperia XZ1 gets its first discount in the US
Amazon US has cut the asking price of the Sony Xperia XZ1 from $699 to $649.
The discount concerns the Black and Moonlit Blue Xperia XZ1's while the Venus Pink and Warm Silver editions are still at their original $699 level.
That starting price was considered steep given the Xperia XZ1's unimpressive on-paper specs - the 5.2-inch 1080p screen that's neither AMOLED nor bezelless, the smallish battery and the lack of a fingerprint scanner for the US market.
If those "faults" don't bother you the Xperia XZ1 is still a solid smartphone that's highlighted by a capable high-res camera with 960fps slow-mo video.
