It is one of the most anticipated updates of the moment. We refer, of course, to Android 7.0 Nougat. This is the most recent data package, although from autumn it will be replaced by Android O. However, the newer version of Android is still a minority.
According to the latest data provided by Google itself, Android 7.0 Nougat is only in 5% of the fleet of phones that work with this operating system.
We are facing a clearly minority edition. Despite this, most manufacturers have already got down to work to update their latest equipment.
Sony is one of the firms that has worked the most in this regard. And although Android 7.0 Nougat is not on all computers, the main ones have already begun to receive the data package. If you have a Sony mobile and you think you can update it, take a look at this calendar.
Sony phones with Android 7 Nougat as standard
First, we will see the computers that have already left the factory (or will come out) equipped with the most recent version of Android. They were all presented at the Mobile World Congress 2017, so they all arrived prepared with Android 7 Nougat. This means that right out of the box, you will not have to worry about updating it.
The lucky ones are the following: Sony Xperia XZ Premium, Sony Xperia XA1, Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra and Sony Xperia L1.
Sony Xperia X Performance
Until now it was one of the most powerful in the Sony catalog, so it deserved to be the first to receive the update to Android 7.0 Nougat.
The update started late last year, right in November. In fact, we can say that Sony's flagship was one of the first on the market to update to the latest version of Android.
If you are in Spain, you should have updated. If not, we recommend you access the Settings> About device> Updates> Update now section.
Sony Xperia XZ
The update began on December 1, 2016, so that by now, all users who have one of these devices and reside in Spain, should have already received the Android 7.0 package.
Android 7.0 for the Sony Xperia XZ, another of the great teams in the Sony catalog, began to spread progressively. At this point it would have to be in all free terminals associated with the different operators.
Sony Xperia X
And here we have another leading smartphone that has also begun to update. It's the Sony Xperia X. The data package started running on free computers at the beginning of the year. Actually, what some users began to receive in early January was the package corresponding to Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
It is a complementary version, much more updated than the first one that exists. His coming-out has been materializing over the following weeks. However, it must be taken into account that the deployment is progressive and that it may not yet have reached all users equally.
Sony Xperia X Compact
The Sony Xperia X Compact has also been worthy of this update since late last year. The rollout started at the end of December, but at this time the data package is already available to most users.
In fact, in the beginning the lucky ones were a few. At this time, the common owner of a Sony Xperia X Compact, whether or not they have their device associated with an operator, should already have the latest version of Android installed.
Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Premium,
This trio of devices are included in the same package because they have experienced a similar fate. Both the Sony Xperia Z5, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet and the Sony Xperia Z3 + began to be updated at the beginning of this year 2017.
However, after a very few days, Sony noticed a serious problem in the update, This caused that it had to be withdrawn. The company of Japanese origin gave the alert to the users in a relevant way and after a few weeks, it resumed the update to Android 7.0 Nougat for the four terminals.
On the other hand, you must bear in mind that all versions of these devices will have their corresponding update. At the moment you can download it for any of the following: Sony Xperia Z5 Dual, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual, Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet WiFi and Sony Xperia Z3 + Dual.
However, you should bear in mind that the deployment may vary, depending on the country you are in. Also if you have a free mobile or, if on the contrary, it is associated with an operator.
Sony Xperia XA, XA Ultra and Dual SIM versions
There are four devices, which are the ones that make up the Xperia XA series, which should also be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat. Despite that, and although they are on the Japanese update calendar, they still do not have a date on the horizon.
We know that the Sony Xperia XA Ultra, Sony Xperia XA Ultra Dual SIM, Sony Xperia XA and Sony Xperia XA Dual SIM are ready to work with the latest version of Google icons, but not even Sony has a forecast on the table.
Everything points, yes, that this update will take place from the second half of the year. As planned for the rest of the Xperia equipment that were not on this first official list.
