As Google released the latest Android version, Sony believes that its smartphone users will also want to update their phones to Android Pie. “We are working on it, and you will be able to get it by November for those that are using Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Premium, XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1, or XZ1 Compact,” - Sony.
Just to hint you about the updates, Sony released an infographic to teach you about phone updates. According to Sony, the updates will be very slow but it’s not their fault but the machine that is a new Android OS rollout. In other to avoid these, Sony plan on optimizing the OS for its hardware; add its own personal touches; test it internally; test it externally, make sure it meets certain standards; and ensure the devices actually work with carriers. These make it difficult for them, being a phone maker.
Though the released infographic is not accurate, to say. Updating a phone require a lot of work, but most Android device makers have infamously been awful about keeping phones current. The processes explained by Sony is a good move but it doesn’t give the company the right from failing to deliver timely updates or avoiding all but its most recent, high-end devices.
Below is an image of the Sony’s Infographics explanation, in case you want to have a view:
Sony also believes that the XA2, XA2 Ultra, and XA2 Plus users will also see the update, but won’t be able to get it till 2019.
