The Sony Xperia release date is also set for March in the U.K.
Various smartphone retailers including Clove and Phones4U announced earlier this week that they will begin selling the 5-inch Sony smartphone in March.
The device will also be available through the U.K.'s major carriers such as Vodafone. However, that carrier has not given a specific date for release either.
Clove posted that the Unlocked SIM-free version of the Xperia Z will be £528 at launch, which is equivalent to $847.76.
The Sony Xperia Z specs were finally revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this week.
The new Sony flagship smartphone will feature a 5-inch, 1080p display NFC (near-field-communications), 13-megapixel main camera and a water-resistant exterior.
Other specifications on the Xperia Z include a 1.5GHz asynchronous quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor with 2GB RAM, one- touch mirroring and 4G LTE.
Sony also introduced the public to the new Xperia ZL, which is another high-end smartphone with the same display camera and processor as the Xperia Z. It comes with one-touch mirroring and 4G LTE and has a maximized display with the highest ratio of screen-to-phone size.
Both devices are extremely impressive and big enough to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
