People who own Sony smartphones other than the Xperia Z series may be restless because the long awaited Android 5.0 Lollipop won’t be coming to their phones. However, the Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z line will be coming very soon. Those who own the Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3 Compact and the Xperia Z3 in the United States will receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update sometime in March, this year.
This information comes from the R&D team of the company in India, which has leaked the information to an online publication. The publication managed to get a hold on Sony’s schedule of update release and it is dated March 8.
The schedule reveals that the Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 have the Android 5.0 update status finalized. The OTA panel shows that the update is currently uploading. This means that we can safely assume that the Andoird 5.0 Lollipop is currently being loaded on Sony’s servers and the release is quite imminent.
The team has also shared that the size of the update for the Sony Xperia Z2 will be 517.86MB and for the Xperia Z3 will be 630.23MB. The update is scheduled to come pretty soon for users that own Xperia Z devices and they will get to take advantage of great enhancements and new features.
The official Sony Mobile Indonesia Facebook page shows that Xperia Z devices in that region will get the Lollipop update after week 12, which means post March 16. Sony also revealed some new features such as multi-user support, better screen lock, optimal storage and intelligent user interface. These features will be available when the Android 5.0 Lollipop will make its way to Xperia Z devices. People who own these kinds of devices will also get the ability to move apps from the internal storage to the SD card.
This update is said to be 1.2GB large and take around 20 minutes to install.
Some other Xperia devices that are believed to benefit from the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, other than the Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3, include the Xperia ZR, Xperia Z, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1, Xperia ZL and Xperia Z Ultra.
Xperia owners who will get the Lollipop update will need to make sure they have at least 50 percent battery life left on their device and at least 640MB free storage space before downloading the software update.
So there you have it. The Lollipop update for Sony Xperia Z devices is coming very soon.
