I can't see it coming to the Z1. They haven't got KitKat right yet so it would be a bit of a disaster as it stands.

Plus Sony seem to have washed there hands of the Z1 users as anybody asking any questions never seem to get the answers. People are constantly asking for fixes of there bad software and firmware and how do Sony respond........Look at the new Z2 and how great this is.

Do not hold your breath, Android 5 will probably be a Z2 only firmware. But do not need it my Z1 is great as it is running KitKat. But why not just root and unlock the bootloader and go for a CM version of android 5.

This is wrong information,Android 5.0 is only rumoured but not released.Latest Android version is 4.4.3 running on Nexus devices.Where have you found this information @ghani667 ?

LE:Just as we speak,4.4.4 is rolled out on the Nexus.

Will we and if so when will we get 4.4.3 on Z1? I'm tempted to wipe my phone and reinstall 4.4.2 to see if it is any better like when it was on 4.3 when i bought the phone. I had no issues what so ever then. My major issue now is with it overheating and the tuch screen becoming very unresponsive.

i hope sony skips 4.4.4 and release 5.0 for z1 with awesome features

We just need to fix some bugs that left in 4.4.2. Does it really matter if it's 4.4.2 or 4.4.4? Not sure. We have a Sony overlay and many tweaks under the hood. I would preffer some new features like double tap to wake up or working Bluetooth SMS -> Car Handsfree bugfix than just another os sub-revision.

Developer Preview of Android L will be released tomorrow, final version probably this Autumn. I think that Z1 may get this OS version somewhere around March 2015, Z3?? probably near December 2014 or January 15.

But I don't see any point for new flagship device this fall so maybe we will see Z2 Compact sharing the same hardware as Z2/Z2 Tablet. Then early 2015 release of L version for Z2 series and following release for Z1 series is quite possible. Just my own opinion.

z1 up to date

I think we should get the Android 4.4.4 update first . Also , if Sony reduce some bugs , I will be more glad.

Ok with all the heating and cut batt life for z1, should i wait for a new os or do the software repair with pc companion, but the warranty from the selling store will be void. If the service center doea the repair, my phone will be stuck to kitkat,no more os upgrades can be made

Re: Android version to be 5.0, Lollipop name confirmed

startrish_sp — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:41:44 GMT

If you do a software repair with pcc,can u still upgrade to new os versions??

Re: Android version to be 5.0, Lollipop name confirmed

_alexdon_ — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:45:24 GMT

Of course,that will not be a problem.You can safely use PCC or SUS to repair.

Android L was announced!

fuzzywulf — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 13:28:31 GMT

The new upcoming version of Android, called Android L was announced recently at Google IO and it brings a lot of new features, especially improvements and they redesign the Android UI. (More info here: http://developer.android.com/preview/index.html) Do you guys think that it will be likely that Sony will update our Xperia Z to Android L in the future? I personally don't think so considering that they already up updated it up to KitKat.
