Important news for Sony users, more than it might seem. It has been discovered in the documents of Bluetooth SIG, entity in charge of certifying this connectivity in new devices and their updates, a reference to the update to Android 5.X Lollipop of the phablet Xperia T2 Ultra, presented in January 2014. As you can see for yourselves, it is indicated on January 30 "Tianchi Update to L". Tianchi is the code name for this device and L an unequivocal reference to the latest version of Google's operating system.
This information comes after Sony announced through its social networks that only devices in the Xperia Z range would get this update. It was not about giving priority to smartphones and tablets that accumulate higher sales and higher income, but rather a strategic decision, we assume that to save costs and ensure that the most important range your catalog is up to date with updates as soon as possible. The Japanese have never particularly excelled in this regard, and they had to do something if they wanted to put their flagship devices on the same level as their rivals, even if the decision was quite controversial.
Possible change of mind
That is why the appearance of this reference to the update of the Xperia T2 Ultra is a ray of light to the hope of many Sony users. In addition, it is not the only indication that leaves a door open to an expansion of the list with upgradeable devices. Among the many responses of the company's community manager on twitter, there are several in which he assures "Unable to provide information about the update schedule". If the decision was already made, why not settle the matter sharply?
The thing does not stop there and there are some images of the Xperia C3 Sony running Android Lollipop (like the one above). These had been taken with some caution when they appeared as they could easily be manipulated images. Now, and if we look at it from an optimistic point of view, it could be that they were true and Sony does not limit the Lollipop update to its Xperia Z range. There will be many who will be excited to know that there is still some option.
