Sony has finally managed to come clean about updating its Xperia range of smartphones to Android 4.3, which was announced months earlier but did never really show up. Today Sony has announced that it will provide Android 4.3 updates starting next month and the devices that shall receive it are listed below.
- Xperia Z1
- Xperia Z Ultra
- Xperia Z
- Xperia ZL
- Xperia ZR
- Xperia SP
- Xperia Tablet Z
This was the list of smartphones that are going to receive an update to Android 4.3 starting next month and there are also a few more Xperia devices ( The Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V ) that Sony plans to update to Android 4.3 but that shall happen after a while (Maybe in Jan~February 2014).
However the more sweeter part of Sony’s announcement is that Android 4.4 Kitkat will be coming to the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1. The time span is still “In future” but an official announcement is always welcome, additionally it puts Sony in line with Motorola and HTC, as they have already announced the Android 4.4 KitKat update for their devices (HTC promised to deliver it in 90 Days for the HTC One). Google has mentioned that Android 4.4 Kitkat is a well optimized OS and it can also work smoothly on devices with 512MB RAM hence considering a “later update” for mid-ranger devices like the Xperia M, Xperia L and Xperia C might not be wrong.
