We already announced it in mid-April: the Sony Xperia Z, together with the Sony Xperia ZL and Sony Xperia ZR, will soon receive the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update. A new leak has revealed that the update for the Sony Xperia Z is already finished and ready to be officially published, which tells us that in a matter of weeks we should start receiving it worldwide. Although for the moment the information related to this update is very limited, we will try to understand the main news that we will find when this update is finally available.
The most recent version of the Sony Xperia Z operating system is Android in its version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Therefore, the first big change that users will find when updating to Android 4.4.2 KitKat will be a renewed interface in which there will be new features such as a new notification bar or a more customizable lock screen. Regarding the operation of the Sony Xperia Z, the great news should be summed up in better fluidity and greater autonomy.
Once these news are known, it is also important that we know how the news has emerged that the launch of this new version of Android for the Sony Xperia Z is imminent. A new Sony file - corresponding to the Sony Xperia Z - with the name 10.5.A.0.227 has made an appearance in a system that collects all the updates that manufacturers are working on. And it is precisely that denomination of 10.5.A.0.227 that reveals that we are facing a new version of Android. If we take a look back, we will see that the version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for this mobile had the denomination of 10.4.XXXXX, while the Android 4.2 version had the denomination of 10.3.XXXXX. In other words, since this time the update incorporates a name in which the second number is different, everything indicates that it is the new version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
However, it is also important to know that Sony has not provided any exact date for the arrival of the update of Android 4.4.2 KitKat for Sony Xperia Z. We only know that this arrival should occur during the month of May, although as is usual in these cases, this date could suffer variations due to last minute errors in the update scheduling.
Recall that the Sony Xperia Z is a smartphone that came on the market at the beginning of 2013, and at that time it incorporated the Android operating system as standard in its version of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It was not until the end of the same year when the Japanese decided to officially publish the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update that has been integrated into this mobile until this same date.
