For some reason, Sony has postponed the update to Android 4.4.4 Kitkat for the Xperia Z2 Tablet and its smartphone namesake, the X, giving priority to older devices with less relevance within its catalog. Luckily for the users of these two terminals, this situation is close to changing. A document has been leaked with the certification of new versions of the firmware that are closely linked to the update of the operating system.
Although the Xperia Z2 has been displaced by the arrival of the Xperia Z3, the firm's new flagship, it remains one of the main options within the Japanese offer. The Xperia Z2 Tablet is even more important, still the largest tablet Most representative, since Sony opted to give variety to its models with an 8-inch screen in the X. For this reason, many users had protested the delay of the company in updating to the latest version of Android, which we remember, solves many of the problems that affected the operating system.
The documents that we show you below show the certificate of the new Sony firmware for the Xperia Z2 Tablet and the Xperia Z2, with a compilation number 23.0.1.A.0.167. As we can read in AndroidAyuda, the jump in numbering unequivocally indicates that it is an update with some weight. It is expected that it will begin to be distributed among devices in not too long, and as is usual, it will do so via OTA (Over The Air).
One of the positive aspects, apart from the improvements introduced by Google, is that the interface of the Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet could fit the one found in the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Tablet, including the functions that were included as novelties in these devices. It is something that remains to be confirmed, but it seems logical that once presented, they will also be available in the other teams launched this year. This is one of the possible reasons that have led them to wait to release the update.
Android L concern
Android version 4.4.4 Kitkat lands on the Xperia introduced in February a few days after the launch of Android L (Android 5.0) that will suppose a much more radical change in the software developed in Mountain View. This could be indicative that the update to this version could be postponed at least until the arrival of the new flagships, that is, February 2015. A situation that surely users do not like, much less Google, which continues to work to reduce Android's segmentation, one of its great unsolved problems with no solution in sight.
