It is one of the best equipped devices in the Sony catalog. We are talking about the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, a device that came out of the box running Android 7 Nougat, but should soon give way to Android 8 Oreo.
Sony Mobile tends to release fairly accurate schedules of its updates to Android 8 Oreo. And in fact, at the time it already gave a first provisional list of the devices that will be updated. He did not advance dates. Now it has been Sony Mobile itself in Japan in charge of indicating that the update to Android 8 Oreo for the Sony Xperia XZ Premium will arrive from December.
Despite the announcement being made in Japan, this data pack is likely to roll out progressively around the world. In all those countries where the Sony Xperia XZ Premium is present.
And although to date no device has been added to this list, everything indicates that the Sony Xperia XZ Premium will not be the only one to be updated.
Android 8 Oreo in the Sony Xperia
The update to Android 8 Oreo will arrive for a good number of Sony Xperia devices. And although we do not have the official list on the table, at the IFA in Berlin some of the models that could embrace this version were announced shortly. They are as follows:
- Sony Xperia X
- Sony Xperia X Performance
- Sony Xperia XZ
- Sony Xperia X Compact
- Sony Xperia XZ Premium
- Sony Xperia XA1
- Sony Xperia XA1 Plus
- Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra
- Sony Xperia XZs
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium, as we said, will be one of the first equipment to be updated. But then the others will come, and they may also embrace Android 8 Oreo in December.
The update will bring with it several important improvements, such as the picture-in-picture mode, to see a video (or whatever) on a small screen, while using another application. Adaptive icons, notification channels and improvements to the notification and settings system are included.
In any case, we will remain attentive to the news that comes from Sony. The company calls on users and media to be attentive to the news that will be indicated through the company's Twitter account, @SonyMobileNews.
