Sony will launch its new Xperia Z3v in the United States on October 23.

Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. wireless carrier, will begin selling Sony's latest handset at US$199 on a two-year contract.

Although Sony partnered with T-Mobile to carry its Xperia Z3 last month, Verizon will exclusively offer the Xperia Z3v to U.S. mobile customers.
