The Xperia’s from Sony haven’t been very lucky in terms of Software Updates but as long as Sony delivers on its promise the mere delays don’t really count. The Xperia Z, ZL and ZR have already been treated with Android 4.4.2 KitKat as planned and now its time for the Mid to Low range of Xperia’s. Sadly you won’t find any of the oldies like the Xperia L, M or C included for the KitKat Update but its good to see that the Xperia SP is still hanging in there. Attached below is a freshly leaked document from our insider at Sony India, displaying the various Sony Xperia Smartphones lined up for their KitKat treat.
As specified before the Android 4.4.2 KitKat was expected to hit the Xperia T2 Ultra, M2, E1 and SP in the month of June – July 2014 but recent bugs that plagued the Xperia Z after the KitKat update has seemed to slow things down, hence the time frames have been pushed to July. Another thing worth making a note of is that the Xperia SP KitKat update is expected to be delivered after Sony has updated it’s new Xperia’s (Xperia T2 Ultra, M2 & E1), this is only logical seeing these devices are newly launched while the Xperia SP is past it’s glory. With numerous leaks favoring the Xperia SP’s KitKat update and Sony’s negligence to update the Official Support Page the Xperia SP might turn out to be luckier than the Samsung Galaxy SIII after all.
In the last leak their were hints of Android 4.3 update for the Xperia L and Xperia C but as it seems those are not being planned upon now or it may only be that this document was specified for the KitKat update and not JellyBean. There are also some indications stating the Xperia C won’t get Android 4.3 due to it’s MediaTek chipset’s lack of Source Code. Stay tuned to find out more and feel free to fill up the comments section with your opinions.
