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.

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

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
1. I just ordered a Sony XPERIA Z1 Compact D5503 International model because I found an incredibly cheap price ($350). Just noticed that headphones aren't listed. Does this unit usually come with headphones?
2. The operating system is listed as "v4.3 (Jelly Bean), upgradable to v4.4.2 (KitKat)". Will this phone automatically update via Sony once I get it set up?
3. Is KitKat v4.4.2 the most recent manufacturer approved ROM, or is v4.4.4 available (or about to be available) from Sony?
4. Does Sony's version of Android v4.3 allow moving apps to the SD card? Will v4.4 allow it?
Looking forward to my new phone and participation on this new forum. Thanks in advance for your replies.

1. Some regional yes while some others no. Hong Kong comes with nothing in the box only a power adapter with usb cable and Taiwan got an earphone even with a docking in the box. Your S2 indeed is going to receive a major upgrade from S5 Alpha 4.7"(s805, 3G ram, 16M cam). Samsung changed the design of S5 Alpha back to the S2 and almost identical but in incredibly high price expected. lol
2. Many place should already received the 4.4.4 OTA notice but not all.
3. 4.4.4 from Sony
4. only 4.3 but you can do that with root on 4.4.4
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.

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.
Hi there's just obtained the device myself but was a long term user of Battery Care on the Xperia X and it worked fine on that although people said it wasn't supported. I've had it installed for a few days but haven't noticed anything as of yet...
Does the XA1 Ultra support Battery Care? If not, I really think this should be considered
Just last night I received the Battery Care notification for the first time on this device and now we can confirm that yes, it does work on the XA1 Ultra ?
