Washington: After HTC and Motorola, Sony announce the schedule of Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates.
First Sony will offer Xperia Z series customers to taste Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which begins next month. The updated will land on Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 while the Xperia T, V and TX will go straight from 4.1 to 4.3.
Sony stopped short of offering a timeframe for Android 4.4 KitKat updates, but the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 are the first in line for the roll-out whenever that may be.
Given Sony is taking some services straight from Android 4.1 to 4.3, some users might be asking why the aforementioned devices can’t go straight to Android 4.4?
Of course, Sony would counter probably answer by regaling us all with tales of the vigorous testing that must take place before each update can be rolled out.
Google, on the other hand, seems keen for as many devices as possible to end up on KitKat and has designed the new OS to play nice with lower memory devices.
