Hello everyone and thank you for showing interest in the Xperia 5! 
The Xperia 5 will be available from October 2019 and is available to pre-order from next week (week 37) in select markets across Europe, bundled with the WF-1000XM3 truly wireless Noise Cancelling headphones.
For availability in your market, please visit your Local Sony Mobile website at www.sonymobile.com/products/phones.
Make sure to select your local page by clicking the country selector at the bottom left of the page.
@amd_2012, you're very welcome.
I can't do much about the product availability I'm afraid as those decision are made up by people way above my pay grade and since we do not offer international warranty and the specific device has to be launched in the market where you want it serviced, I'm not quite sure that international shipping would help that much.
Even when you import the device that is not launched in the country where you are situated, you will not be able to use operator specific services such as VoLTE and Voice over Wi-Fi and you will have to send the device to the country where it was bought, so it's a lot of hazzle. 
@GilgameshUK, that's a shame.
We are lucky here in the Nordics as we get the 3 best colours, at least according to me (Black, Blue and Red) and we don't get the grey one, which I personally don't fancy that much.
I really have no idea how it works when it's decided which colours should be available in certain markets, but I do remember my friend in the UK said that some colour was exclusive to a certain retailer in the UK for the Xperia XZ3, if I'm not mistaken. Might have been the green or the red one.
Not sure if this is the case for the red Xperia 5 though as the colour is not mentioned on the UK website at all.
Hopefully you can turn the wife around and tell her how awesome the blue one is, but usually when someone has decided they want a specific colour, they won't change their mind.
@RottenFoxBreath, agreed!
I do really like the blue one as well, but there is something about the red colour which makes it really pop and stand out from the rest.
I remember the XZ Premium that was launched in a few countries in a red colour and it looked stunning, however that colour was never released in the Nordics..
I think they best option is to get in touch with the Local support team in your market (I assume it's the UK) and see if they have any information regarding to why the red colour is not available there, because I don't have this information, not even for the Nordics.
Have a great day everyone!
Hi Jonas
Thanks for the reply. I will check it. but I don't think they will ship it to my country. if someone comes from there can buy it I think. My bro bought Xperia z5 in 2015 from Singapore. That one work really well. Now he changed it to Huawei mate 30 pro coz sony is not available here. I can understand that if something happens to my device its really difficult process to get the warranty or repair. I still using my Xperia z1 as my main phone because of its so compact and great device. Hope if sony will consider the international warranty like apple care. In my country, VOLTE or VOwifi is only working with Huawei, Samsung and apple. So that's not a big issue for me for now. Anyway thanks again for your help.
