Officially announced last week at Consumer Electronics Show 2013, Sony Xperia ZL has been confirmed to arrive in black, white and red.

However, the red version of the smartphone was nowhere to be seen at CES 2013, which is why we thought it will be launched later this year.

Well, it looks like the folks over at XperiaBlog spotted the red Sony Xperia ZL in South East Asia. The bad news is this version of Xperia ZL won’t be available globally.

According to Sony Mobile, the red-themed Xperia ZL will be available in several Asian countries in Q1 2013 for a suggested price that will be announced closer to launch.

Still, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Son launching it in other regions as well. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
