Unveiled earlier this year at Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, Sony Xperia Z has just made its debut in Europe this week.

Although Indian customers have been left out from the initial rollout of the smartphone, it looks like they won't have to wait too long for the Xperia Z to arrive in their country.

As AndroidOS points out, Sony India has just teased the upcoming launch of the Xperia Z on its Facebook official page.

Even though the Japanese company did not reveal the name of the device it will release on March 6, it's clear from the background image that appears in the teaser that Sony will announce the Xperia Z.

Unfortunately, for the time being, we are unable to confirm whether the Xperia Z will go on sale next week or Android enthusiasts in India will have to wait a bit longer until the smartphone hits shelves.

Word is Sony Xperia Z will be available for purchase in India for around Rs 45,000 ($820/€630), though the amount has yet to be confirmed by the handset maker.

It is also worth mentioning the Xperia Z, announced two months ago, will go on sale in black, white and purple color options, so it's safe to assume Indian customers will be able to choose from at least two of the color schemes.

The Xperia Z is Sony's Android flagship smartphone, but keep in mind that it will ship with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box rather than a newer version.

The good news is Sony confirmed an Android 4.2 upgrade will be available for download soon after launch, so we're still waiting for the company to make a more exact guess on availability.

Hardware-wise, the Xperia Z is pretty powerful and comes equipped with a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor inside, which is complemented by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. More details on the phone's specs sheet are available here.
