Will the Sony XZ2 Premium come to O2?

[JRC01]

As the XZ2 Premium has just landed in the UK on EE, and as I want one but don't want to change from O2, does anyone have any info on if/when the device will come to O2?
I've asked both O2 gurus in store and asked EE whether they got it as an exclusive, but neither could give me an answer...

Keep an eye on the coming soon pages https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/coming-soon

Unfortunately, it wont be coming to o2.

And yes, EE got it as an exclusive, you'd think they'd know that, but then again ee staff aren't the most knowledgeable.

That's really unfortunate... I hate to move away from O2 but I might have to then... Unless anyone knows a way to get an unlocked one on a contract?

You could always see what Carphone Warehouse do.

If EE got it as an exclusive, can Carphone Warehouse get it?

They could.....
It's available here on EE or Voda so anything is possible.

At the moment, more than likely no.
In six months, who knows..
They just started selling the Razer phone after the three exclusivity expired..
At the moment, the XZ2 premium can be purchased from sony estore, clove and EE with Amazon also possibly getting it at some point.
The phone officially got released in UK on Friday but it looks like a very limited release due to XZ3 being opened for preorder soon.

Worth noting, EE's exclusivity is "network partner" only, so it will be worth keep checking carphone warehouse just in case.
