Sony is not keeping Canada in the dark – all four of their new Xperia X line will be available in Canada sometime between June 23 and July 14 on a variety of carriers, although Telus is conspicuously absence from the list. While Sony has released the carriers and dates, no prices were announced, which seems funny since the availability on some carriers is about two weeks away. There are four models to choose from – the Xperia X Performance, Xperia X, Xperia XA, and Xperia XA Ultra – although it seems like two or three would have been plenty for Sony to market.
It looks like Rogers will sell only the Xperia X Performance model in Graphite Black with reservations starting on June 23 and availability on July 14. Bell will get the Xperia X Performance in Graphite Black or White, as well as the Xperia XA in the same two colors with all models available June 23. Virgin Mobile will sell the Xperia XA in Graphite Black or White with availability on June 23. WIND Mobile will carry the basic Xperia X and the Xperia XA in Graphite Black and exclusively carry the Xperia XA Ultra in Graphite Black – all models will be available July 14. Videotron will offer the Xperia X in Graphite Black on June 29.
