Vodafone has just released Android 6.0.1 for the Sony Xperia Z2, a device that has been on the market for some time, specifically since 2014. The update is available via FOTA, that is, it can be done from the phone itself. In this way, all those users who do not see a pop-up message on the screen notifying them of the update, can check it manually from Settings> About device> Software update. The option may not be available for the first few days.
The Vodafone operator recommends that all Xperia Z2 users make a backup copy of all the data stored on their device before updating to Android 6.0.1. Also, it would be convenient to be at the time of updating in a place where the WiFi connection is stable and fast. For its part, the phone should be fully charged, or at least more than half charged. If we do not take these points into account, we could find bugs and errors at the time of updating, reaching, in some cases, to see the operation of our mobile phone in danger.
And, what are the main advantages that we will find when updating the Xperia Z2 to Android 6.0.1 ? This new version of the platform has introduced quite interesting changes. One of the main novelties is Doze, an intelligent function to save energy, which will allow us to increase the battery life of the Xperia Z2, which we remember includes a 3,000 mAh battery. Basically, Doze allows the device to go into a kind of hibernation the moment we are not using it. With this function, both applications and battery consumption are reduced to the maximum, except for those important tasks.
On the other hand, other of the new features that we will find when updating the Xperia Z2 from Vodafone to Android 6.0.1 are individual permission of applications, as well as a new assistant named Google Now On Tap. We will also have the possibility of using new emojis, up to more than 200, have a new shortcut for the camera or use Do Not Disturb mode again . As if this were not enough, it is very likely that the device will achieve higher performance and respond better when performing different tasks.
Despite being a mobile that has been on the market for some time, the Sony Xperia Z2 still boasts quite new features. Recall that this device has a 5.2-inch Full HD screen (1,920 x 1,080 dots), Qualcomm MSM8974AB Quad-core processor running at 2.3 GHz frequency, 3 GB of RAM memory or a camera with Exmor RS sensor 20.7 megapixels with an angle of 27 mm and a maximum aperture f2.0. The Xperia Z2 is available on Vodafone, along with the Smart Band smart bracelet , for 21 euros per month with the operator's RED M rate.
