UK version Sony Xperia Z5 Compact question

[152bobby]

Hi,

I have jumped over form the Sony Xperia Z3c section to ask a quick question.

I am looking at purchasing a Z5c and I am concerned that I may get a non UK version.

I assume that the UK and European versions are the same and I should be ok with the warranty should I need to use it.

I see some Z5c's with (E5823) in brackets in the description, are these UK versions ?

I can probably accept a UK or European version, but no other versions.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You should double check with Sony directly regarding warranty

Thanks, the warranty I can verify, but my main question is the E5823 a uk version?

E5823 is the same as E5803

Yes, it is. The other version E5803 is for Turkey, Vietnam aso.

A wee bit confused, so is the E5823 a UK phone? as one person has said the E5823 and the E5803 are the same and you have said the E5823 is a UK phone, but the E5803 is for Turkey, Vietnam etc !!

Sorry, but I have to be sure on this question.

Thanks

One should be perhaps locked to networks in the UK and the other a global version.

It's not exactly the same, that's why they have a different number. I don't know what's different though...maybe the frequencies or something.

E5823 is for whole Europe and Russia, so that's the right one for you.

Yes, but what about when on holiday, America, Jamaica etc ?
