Hi! I am really interested in, and hopeful about Sailfish successfully working on the Xperia X. But then when I began looking for the device, I found out that the Single-SIM version is not sold in India. I also wrote to Sony (India) and confirmed that neither do they officially sell it in India, nor do they have any plans to do so in the future.

So I thought it'd be nice if we could all put together an alphabetically sorted list of countries stating whether or not this particular model is available. Feel free to re-format it to look better, or make other additions to make it more informative.

About the price: which one? Official one? Here in Italy the price can be very different depending on many factors.

magullo ( 2017-07-15 22:59:44 +0300 )edit

I bought mine in Switzerland at Digitec and renewed my Swisscom contract (Natel Infinity M) for another 12 months. The Xperia X cost me Fr. 67.--.

For a Europe-wide price search you may use at Geizhals.eu (price comparison website) for the Sony Xperia X (Model F5121) in Black, White, Rose Gold and Lime Gold.

Amazon (like them or not) has plenty of Sony Xperia X (Model F5121) in all four colors (just change the "de" in the web links below to your Country Code, but it will still show the German version; for other country specific versions, you have to search for "Sony Xperia X" on your country specific Amazon website):

Surpringly, many have contributed to this thread... Jolla is going to sell a Sailfish OS for a dated phone, at best. All this preparation... may be for nothing in the end. Well, some days I am more optimistic. I will try to post on one of those days.

I really don't understand all this whining about the Xperia to be dated. Each and every smartphone is dated the day after its announcement, so what? The Xperia's hardware is good enough for the next years to come, and its build quality seems to be decent at least. Spare parts and repair services seem to be much easier available than for Jolla or Intex devices.

In my opinion software is much more important than the number of cpu cores, amount of memory, or display resolution. Software that is able to use the available hardware to its full potential. Let't hope Jolla manages to release Sailfish OS with full support for the phone's hardware (including the camera)!

This was written by James Noori in the comments of blog post: It was an unfortunate and unexpected event when the phone was suddenly out of production due to Sony’s change of strategy, but let’s remember, Sony has this great strategy of “one kernel rules them all” which means that when we make Xperia X work properly, making other Sony Xperia phones work with Sailfish OS is going to be the easiest thing in the world!

Quite many shops seem to list "Xperia X" devices with "manufacturer's model number" 1302-xxxx, which could help people confirming they are getting the right model as not all shops display F5121. Thanks for olf and pfbach for posting confirmations for this.

Some of the (Finnish) shops I just reviewed mention 1302-9422 as well as F5121 (Proshop) while most have only 1302-9422 but not F5121 explicitly mentioned (Verkkokauppa.com, Jimm's)

According to Verkkokauppa.com's customer service their product is F5121: https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/questions/product/15954/gsbsd/

Yes, Sony model numbers 1302-xxxx seem to be Model F5121 for Europe or "International version".

It looks like the Sony model numbers 1303-xxxx are Model F5121 for the UK.

Note, that I have no clue what the trailing four digits denote.

On Amazon.de, there are used Xperias available, and you may select the desired condition. I recently bought one of them in condition "Gebraucht - Wie neu" (used - as new) for 225 EUR. Seller was Silverlinetrading, but shipping was by Amazon Germany.

It came in the original box with all accessories, original screen protector in place. No signs of usage, everything seems to work so far (with Android, of cause).

Since flashing Sailfish would break the phone's warranty anyway, buying a used one may be less of a problem. At least it was for me. Now I have a hard time waiting for the Sailfish image to become available...

Australia: Yes (@rfa has already mentioned JB Hifi, but I'm listing alternatives).

Amazon.com (ships to Australia): $330AUD mobile, $10AUD shipping = $340AUD total.

BuyMobile.com.au: $370AUD mobile, $30AUD shipping = $400AUD total.

(P.S. I'm posting this as a comment because I don't have enough Karma to edit the wiki).

@rfa, are those 399 Australian or US dollars? (@ced117 take note in the table, 399 AUD would be about 320 USD)

Verkkokauppa.com has the F5121 model in stock at 299.90€

A word of warning thou: They don't have many left and the last time they were restocked was in late April so once stock runs out they're not going to be restocked on account of Sony abandoning the whole mid segment. Only other store I could find with it in stock was ProShop and they charge 80€ more for the same device.

Edit:Seems like I was wrong about availability at Verkkokauppa.com as they today got another shipment of more than 25 devices (they don't specify exact numbers if it's more than 25).

Yes, the stock was at -25 earlier today so they must have received more than 50 phones. Maybe a good time to place an order =)

olli ( 2017-07-21 22:31:41 +0300 )edit

why buy new as once you've flashed it with SFOS you will have invalidated any warranty so as I see it you may as well buy one cheaper second-hand.

davekelly ( 2017-07-22 20:35:40 +0300 )edit

Good point , haven't ordered yet. Might as well wait for Sailfish release and see if I can find one used

olli ( 2017-07-23 15:29:44 +0300 )edit

@davekelly Apart from iPhones and other devices with locked bootloaders, that's just a common myth. The warranty may not apply to the new software, but the warranty still applies to the hardware. This is specially true of devices from manufacturers like Sony who have their own open source projects.
