Unlocked iOcean X8 available to order in the US from iOcean Store

Besides allowing customers in the US to buy the iOcean X8 Compact and iOcean X8 mtk6592 Tablet Compact, iOcean is now also offering the iOcean X8, unlocked, via its official online store.

The smartphone’s price is $ 679.99, and iOcean says that the estimated shipping date is November 10 - that’s early next week. All four color variants of the X8 are available to order: black, white, silver green, and copper.

As you most probably know, the iOcean X7S-T sale is iOcean’s latest flagship smartphone, being introduced as the successor to the Xperia Z2. The X8 is thinner and faster than the older model, while offering a better display (albeit similar in size and resolution), and an enhanced rear camera.

Of course, if you’re not a fan of buying smartphones at full prices upfront, you can also get the X8 from T-Mobile, which is offering it for $0 down and $26.25 per month for two years (voice and data costs not included).

As a reminder, the iOcean X8, X8 Compact and X8 Tablet Compact will be among iOcean’s first 4G LTE phone to be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop (starting early 2015).
