After reaching the HTC Butterfly S, the Android 4.4 KitKat update now also lands on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra from the Japanese company Sony. It is an update of the Android operating system that in the next few days will begin to be available in the European free Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The update includes both new features at the interface level and small improvements in the fluidity of the terminal. Users who have this terminal purchased under an operator will have to wait a few additional weeks to receive the same update.
At the moment the exact details of the update are not known beyond the fact that the file that contains it occupies a space of 324 MegaBytes. The novelties in terms of interface are summarized in some small modifications in the appearance of the notification bar and some changes in the icons of the applications installed as standard in the terminal. In the aspect of the internal operation of the phone, some sources point out that the update brings with it some functions that until now were only available in the Sony Xperia Z2, although at the moment the exact functions that users will see when updating have not been disclosed. your Sony Xperia Z Ultra. We must bear in mind that the update for the moment has only appeared in Asian territory, so that the information is leaking with a dropper due to the difficulties of interpreting the captures that have appeared in the last hours.
Recall that a few days ago rumors appeared that, in addition to the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, both the Sony Xperia Z1 and the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact would receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update over the course of these weeks. At the moment we have already been able to attend the update of the phablet (a hybrid that, due to the size of its screen, is halfway between a smartphone and a tablet) from the Japanese company Sony. Taking this confirmation into account, it is most likely that the other two terminals mentioned in this news will also receive the same update in a matter of a few weeks.
If we take a look back at the history of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra operating system updates, the first thing we will see is that this smartphone came standard with the Android operating system in its version of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Later, specifically in mid-December last year, the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update reached both this terminal and the Sony Xperia Z1. And now, about four months later, we find that the Sony Xperia Z Ultra is going to be updated to the latest version of Android. Despite bad news such as the discontinuity of updates in theSony Xperia SL, Acro S and Ion, the truth is that for now it seems that Sony does not forget the importance of keeping all popular smartphones belonging to the Xperia range updated to the latest.
