It isn't a secret that Malaysia will be seeing the Sony Xperia Z2, Sony Xperia T2 Ultra and Sony Xperia M2 smartphones soon. However, up until now, we've still been in the dark about pricing, but this could have been revealed in an online brochure for the UOB Bank online store UOB InStore. The listings state that the Malaysia retail pricing for the Sony xperia Z2 is set at RM2399, while the Xperia T2 Ultra is listed at RM1299. The lower end Sony Xperia M2 is listed at RM999. Of note though is that the listing mentions the pricing of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact at RM1799 despite previous reports that it would retail at RM1699. So far the listings do not mention any exact Malaysia release dates as the devices mentioned are only for pre-order at the UOB InStore for now.

The unique Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is finally available in Malaysia with a retail price of RM1699. The Xperia Z1 Compact is unique amongst other 'mini' type smartphones in that it retains more or less the same tech specs and features as the smartphone it originates from, which is the Sony Xperia Z1. The only major differences are the size of the device and screen along with the screen resolution, everything else remains the same so you get a 4.3-inch display smartphone with 20.7MP camera! Sellers at our sister site of MobileMegaMall.com are already offering the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact from RM1615, which should be one of the lower prices in the Malaysian market.

It would take the best out of all of Sony's product ranges and put them all into one smartphone, but while this almost came true, the screen suffered from rather poor viewing angles.

The tech specs and features have been updated accordingly with the Snapdragon 801 processor and chipset, 3GB of RAM and 4K video recording.

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet officially announced as lightest and thinnest 10-inch tablet, still waterproof
Feb 26, 2014
The previous record of lightest and thinnest 10-inch tablet was held by Sony's own Xperia Tablet Z, but with the recent announcement of the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet this record has now been broken once more by Sony itself. Measuring an incredible 6.4mm thin and weighing in at 426g (WiFi version) / 439g (LTE version) the new tablet is still a super slim slate with IP58 water resistance certification. However, on top of being able to take a splashing, it now has dual stereo speakers, updated tech specs and a new LED Triluminous Full HD display. It can also hook up to a DUALSHOCK3 wireless gamepad for some gaming or the BRH10 Bluetooth remote with Handset Function so you can make calls (only with the LTE version). The keyboard accessory turns it into a work machine. Check out the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet tech specs below:
- 2.3GHZ quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB storage + microSD
- 10.1-inch Triluminos display (Live Colour LED, 1200 x 1920 pixel resolution, shatter proof and scratch resistant glass)

The Sony Xperia Z tablet successor or Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet images recently got leaked with both black and white colour variations. Coming courtesy of serial leaker @evleaks and a newer source called @gadgetleaks, the images show tablet that looks nearly identical with the earlier version. While @evleaks is often correct about most of the stuff leaked there, @gadgetleaks is relatively new but the images from that source also match with the @evleaks image. Be that as it may, do take this with a grain of salt nonetheless.

The upcoming Sony Xperia Sirius D6503 or Xperia Z2 as it is guessed at has been making the rounds in the rumour mill for a while now. We've already seen a number of leaked photos and screenshots which hint at some interesting tech specs. These tech specs include a 5.2-inch screen with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution (we're hoping it at least is an IPS screen), dual-speaker audio, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974AB processor and chipset, 3GB of RAM, 16GB / 32GB storage and a 20MP rear camera. Other features include the ability to do 4K video recording which should be fairly easy to implement as long as it is using the Snapdragon 800 chipset.

Malaysia release dates for this rumoured Sony Xperia Z2 would follow soon afterwards. The estimated pricing for the smartphone is currently $600 (RM1995).
