If Sony pulling the plug of their online retail store in the US and Canada wasn’t sad enough news for you, we’ve unfortunately got one more piece to add to it. While the Sony Xperia Z3+ will be coming to the US via Verizon, those in Canada will have to either opt for its predecessor, the Xperia Z3, or wait for future models. According to Sony, their latest flagship smartphone and tablet won’t be making it to the country. That means no Sony Xperia Z3+ or Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet for those in Canada.

After the jump, Sony’s statement on the matter.

 Thank you for all of your inquiries regarding the Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z4 Tablet. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and we know that you are our most dedicated fans so we wanted to give you an update on these products. Sony Mobile devices are sold in partnership with Canadian carriers and retailers and there are no current plans to bring either of these devices to Canada. There are great new products coming to Canada later this year so keep an eye here for more information. Sorry and thanks for understanding. 

It’s unclear at this time if those “great new products” Sony is referring to are the just-announced Xperia C5 Ultra and Xperia M5. While no other specific reasons were given, it’s likely to do with lack of demand and interest from retailers that led to the decision.

Are you surprised that Sony won’t be bringing its flagship products to Canada?
