Made official at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January, the Xperia Z is the latest flagship device from Sony Mobile, and is set to hit shelves in no less than 60 countries before the week is over.

The handset was made available for purchase in Japan last month, but it is set to take over five continents in the coming days, Sony has confirmed at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today.

Unfortunately, the company did not offer specific details on the markets that will receive the device, though more should start pouring in as the device hits shelves.

Xperia Z was made official with a 5-inch full HD touchscreen, a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and front camera for making video calls, while running under Google’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.
