 on September 25. The event will be hosted in Delhi, the price and availability details is not

 known.

In the US, the Sony Xperia XZ1 is priced at $699.99 which is roughly Rs. 45,000, and one

 can expect a fair premium on that price tag when it's brought to India. At the event, the

 remains to be seen if that is the case with its India launch at the end of this month.
