Sony Mobile has just confirmed that it plans to update ten Xperia handsets to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from December 2013 onwards. The handsets on the list includes the Xperia Z series (Z, ZL, ZR, Z Ultra, Z1 and Tablet Z) along with the Xperia SP. It also confirmed that a number of older handsets will also get Android 4.3 including the Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V.
A number of recent lower-end handsets have not made the list at all though, including the Xperia L, Xperia M and Xperia C. The Xperia L and Xperia M should be able to handle the upgrade, so maybe Sony has decided not to update these handsets given their positioning. This would be a shame though especially since they only launched within the last six months. The Xperia C has limited availability so we can understand if that was left off due to commercial reasons. We’ll keep you posted as the countdown to the Android 4.3 update commences.

Saw this today also, great news......... 4.4 will also be coming to the Z series also ......
Why they didn't just update directly to 4.4 and skip 4.3? It will make more sense.

Maybe the 4.3 update is nearly complete. It will make the crowd quiet a bit while they working on 4.4 update
Looking forward for this update but for now i am happy with eXistenZ ROM v2 it works perfectly on my Xperia ZL C6502
Hope to get Z ultra like white UI and and x-Reality for mobile and also other goodies like social camera for Z1...fingers crossed

Heres a link for the info http://www.thinkdigit.com/Mobiles-PDAs/Google-to-bring-RAW-images-burst-mode_18463.html

How's the performance of the eXistenZ ROM and Kernal? Does it improve the ZL's battery life?

Nobody is making upcoming 5.0 for XS btw many @ googleplex might be readying it for the next nexus i'd suggest you start learning compiling and debugging aosp roms while you wait so that when 5.0 finally arrives you don't have to stat a thread like this if nobody else shows interest

Keep in mind that my Xperia X10 was left on gingerbread by Sony (and AT&T stopped at 2.1 eclair). Now the 3 year old phone has run past Ice cream sandwich and Has very nice daily use jelly bean roms.
All thanks to the great XDA developers. Some of them still have/use the device as main phone and a few develop as a 2nd phone.
From my Xperia LT28at ION
I believe developers will do custom ROM for 5.0. After SONY drop jelly bean for Arc S still there are developer supporting the device.

What has been the past order of release -- other than us 6506 guys getting screwed?
I suppose we can all hope for another Commercial and Journalists leak. That would be ideal!
yeah, no longer excited for updates.... always months behind... pretty ridiculous... what the differences ? only LTE ? we still haven't gotten the latest 4.3 update yet.... lack of support for NA
Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware started to roll out for the Xperia T2 Ultra and T2 Ultra Dual earlier this week. Apart from the usual features to be expected with an update to Xperia KitKat, we were surprised to see the addition of an apps to SD card feature.
The KitKat update for the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual (D5322) took the form of build number 19.1.C.0.116. However, another (very tiny) update has been certified for the handset with build 19.1.C.0.117. This is most probably a small bug fix that Sony didn’t get to push with the KitKat release. We’ll let you know if Sony releases this update.

How to get Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow?
If you want official Sony firmware you have to change your phone to Z3 at least. Z1 compact was dropped and will never get any new version.
Sent from my Z1c via Tapatalk
If there is no Android M then this is my last phone from Sony. I mean, this is ****. State of the art device two years ago and EOLed already. They must be kidding us.
In my opinion Sony is actually one of the best. But i agree. it's kind of sad that we can't have Sony marshmallow firmware for this great device. It is'nt even close being outdated yet.
Please replay
I think so...
Maybe

No Z series on the list
http://www.xperiablog.net/2017/08/31/sony-confirms-android-8-0-oreo-rollout/
Why Z5 series not receive android 8 ?
Whyyyyyyyyyyy
what? no xperia Z5 android 8? affff, need send email to sony claim this...
-_- there ahould be someone to port custom android 8 rom for us
Sony ditched Z family.
Well the Z5P came with Lollipop so Nougat was suppose to be the last since Sony only gives 2 major updates to flagships
"2 major updates already rolled out". That's ok, but it cannot be an acceptable reason. No hardware requirements which can block Oreo release for Snapdragon810. Nexus 6P will get the update, and it have very close hardware. Also the Z5P is a premium device with high price, it should get more support.

Only issue I see atm, is that we need a kernel 4.4 and for some reson Sony has removed Z series from their kernel git
no news about android 8 oreo ?
It seems there won't be official -- I reached out to the Sony Blog which posted the news on their site, and got a reply:

Xperia z updated to Android 8 by lineage os.
Can anyone port android 8 for our device?
Whan lineage start supporting z5 premium?

Asked Xperia UK and they replied
Hello!
Our Android upgrade policy is to support all premium range devices for eighteen months after the device has launched, which excludes devices that came to market before those listed.
Therefore, the Xperia Z5 Premium will not receive the Oreo update.

That's just sad. Why is there an artificial lifetime for this device? It's an expensive device, and it sucks that it's only supported for 18 months.

Maybe you can start by contributing??
its better that z5p is not reciving oreo!
horrible batter performances on oreo has been observed!
in my views dec2016 build z5p on android 6.01 was THE BEST!
