is it just me or are the prices for the phones insane?

if we take into account conversion rates, it's over 1.1k sgd for the normal version!

I assume that you're referring to the UK prices when you did the conversion. Such prices in other markets only give us a rough indication of how much it will cost, but it's definitely not indicative that the same prices will apply when it's launched in Singapore.

As an example, the Z3+ also had a RRP of £550 in the UK. But when it was launched in Singapore, the RRP is S$998.

As hush66 mentioned, we won't know until it's release.

However based on past records, there's very slim chance that sony sg will bring in dual sim model.

I got friend bought it at hong Kong, when he travel there.

Alternatively, can buy from mobile shops that bring in import set.

I'm actually hoping sony sg would bring in dual sim z5. Looks like a lot of people are interested in it

my strongly worded complaint at Sony Mobile Singapore is How is Hong Kong Market so much different from Singapore. We also have many foreigners here who are prc as well who also do not mind having the unlocked phone that is dual sim. We probably have even more varied foreigners here who would probably want to bring the dual sim phones back to their home country.

So why bring in Dual Sim Phones in Hong Kong and not Singapore as well.

Foreign PRC will buy Xiaomi, local Hong Kongers will still buy Sony. Different market forces. I'm pretty sure Sony / the telcos have the statistics to back up the decision to not have dual SIM phones here.

The most obvious reason is demand.

The demand for dual sim phones in Singapore is not as high as those in Hong Kong, the same is true for Sony phones selling in better numbers in Hong Kong.

Not many locals would like to buy a dual sim phone so he could travel and use two sim cards in a same phone.
Many locals would either buy a fruity or sammy phone, because they think these are the "branded" phones.

On the contrary, it is not difficult to find those at Hong Kong who would buy dual sim phones and use it for travelling between Hong Kong and China mainland.
