The Sony Xperia Z2 might be faced with worldwide delays, could be pushed back to late April/early May

Over the years, the forum boards over at Esato
have proven to be quite resourceful when it
comes to insider information on Sony. This time
around, however, the intel is rather concerning, as
a user going by the alias of milukugiuniu claims to
be in the know of a possible Sony Xperia Z2
distribution delay.
Until today, the expected release date of the
Xperia Z2 was at some point in March, at least in
some parts of the globe. According to the tipster,
however, unspecified supply delays are said to
have caused a worldwide delay in the launch date
of Sony's new flagship. Apparently, only a limited
stock will be made available at first, though it
remains unknown which country these will be
allocated to. A new date hasn't been specifically
pointed out, but the wording does indicate a
release sometime in late April/early May.
This unconfirmed report was corroborated by
another user, though according to him, Europe
would be something of an exception to the delay.
The notion of any exception was shot down by
milukugiuniu, however, who says that's "miles
away form the truth", and that "Europe wouldn't
be an exception".
If such delay indeed comes to fruition, it could
spell trouble for Xperia Z2 sales, as the flagship
would enter the market after rival Samsung's new
Galaxy S5, and perhaps even HTC's All New One.
In any case, do take this with a grain of salt --
it's best to just wait for an official confirmation
before freaking out.
