The Sony Xperia S has already been available in the UK, however its smaller cousins, the Xperia P and Xperia U, have not yet arrived in stores. That will change soon since both devices are now set to become available in the UK during the week of May 7. That means that in just a few weeks you’ll have the entire new Xperia line available to choose from in the UK. Choose wisely.
 

Of course if you don’t want to wait, you can pre-order the Xperia P or the Xperia U right now from Clove. The Xperia P is £330 and the Xperia U is £204.

If we learn anything else we will let you know. Prices should not change though since we are so close to launch.
