The next Sony User Experience upgrade for Xperia T2 Ultra & Xperia T2 Ultra Dual starts right about now*…

We’ve been working to build new Sony experiences on Google’s KitKat release to create some neat / sweet features (if we say so ourselves) – in addition to a few performance tweaks here & there, some of the functionality you can look forward to includes:

• Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation…
• We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
• If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens
• We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions – bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…
• Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration* – a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!
• And proving pretty popular, now totaling over 2 million downloads (!) – our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles…
• Compatibility with our SmartWear Experience; SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app – enabling you to record social, physical and entertainment activities and have them all visualised in a beautiful interface… reminisce at that past, make the best of the present and plan for the future

Bro... I will probably recieve my new phone tomorrow. it is currently in transit and then sell this poor sony phone. This is the only option we are left with. Sony is giving a peanut update for a 25k device.

[ArpitAgarwal]

Yes you are correct.
This update is a kind of lollypop that Sony has given to us. Below is my analysis of this update:

Pros:

1) Improved user experience
2) Improved performance
3) apps to sd option
4) All new Sony apps update including new theme manager.
5) Improved battery.

Cons:

1) No significant improvement in camera. Still experiencing low frame rates in low light situation. Almost impossible to snap a pic.
2) No significant improvement in sound.
3) No new lockscreen included.
4) No xperia Z1 like live wallpaper included.
5) Antutu scores have fallen down to 17.5k from 19.5k (this seems like a joke. What were you thinking Sony?).

I think that major issues with Camera and Sound are still present. And overall, I am not very happy with this update. Though there is definately an improvement in overall performance of the phone which is commendable!
