Sony will update the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3 ranges to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop before the end of July

Good news for users of Sony that have one of the devices belonging to the ranges Xperia Z2 or Xperia Z3, the two sets of smartphones and tablets that the Japanese company launched last year 2014. Apparently, all the certificates are ready and the distribution of the latest version of Google's operating system, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, for all of them, will begin In just a few days, in fact, the process is expected to start before the end of July.

A few days ago we learned that Sony had achieved the certification of all firmware updates that would bring Android 5.1.1 Lollipop to the devices of the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3 ranges. The build number 23.4.A.0.546, corresponding to the latest version of the operating system developed by Google, had been approved for the Xperia Z2 (D6502, D6503), Xperia Z2 Tablet (SGP521), Xperia Z3 (D6653), Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633), Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803, D5833) and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (SGP621, SGP641).

This raised suspicions that the update could be released soon, information that was confirmed over the weekend. In fact, it was the japanese company itself, which on its local website announced that the update would be ready much earlier than expected. Specifically, they talked about some time before the end of the current month of July. As you can see, the image makes special reference to the two tablets: Xperia Z2 Tablet and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. A good move, especially for the latter, since being the X4 inch peria Z10 Tablet, is still the current compact model in your catalog.

As you well know, this update was published after Google detected certain problems with Android 5.1, the version that brought truly significant changes. None of the terminals mentioned above has an operating system version higher than Android 5.0.2, so Most of the news are precisely those of Android 5.1 Lollipop, such as the possibility of choose WiFi network and Bluetooth connection from quick settings or icon changes, but without the errors that are already corrected in 5.1.1.
