Sony promised less than a week ago, and now the Lollipop update is a reality. The Sony Xperia Z3 has officially begun to receive the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update, an update that for the moment has begun to be distributed around the Baltic countries. The update comes under the numbering of 23.1.A.0.690, and is geared towards the D6603 version of the Sony Xperia Z3. We are talking about an official update that is being distributed via OTA, and in principle it is only a matter of hours before its distribution becomes a reality in the rest of the European territory.
The news that the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update of the Sony Xperia Z3 brings with it was already seen in the video of this same mobile that some media recorded during the MWC 2015 event. Among the most striking novelties that Xperia Z3 owners will find when updating their mobile to Lollipop highlights the new, renewed and updated interface, the options related to the management of notifications, the novelties in the lock screen, the profile mode of user and the option to move applications to the microSD memory card, among other changes.
But the Sony Xperia Z3 is not the only mobile in the Xperia range that will star in a Lollipop update these days. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact has also begun to receive the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update at this time, and in this case we are talking about an update that responds to the numbering of 23.1.A.0.690, it is oriented to the D5803 version of the Z3 Compact and, at the moment, it is only being distributed in the Baltic countries.
And if that were not enough with this ration Lollipop for smartphones range Xperia Z from Sony, from the official blog of this Japanese company ( blogs.sonymobile.com ) has also been confirmed that the Android 5.0.2 update Lollipop will hit more devices in the Xperia Z range in about two weeks. Although the official publication does not refer to any specific model, it is to be assumed that the next to receive this update will be the owners of the Sony Xperia Z2 and, probably, some of the tablets of this same range (Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet).
At the moment, nothing leads us to think that Sony has made a different decision regarding its confirmation to update to Lollipop only the smartphones and tablets belonging to the Xperia Z range. The only thing that can give some hope to the owners of a mobile that does not belong to the range Xperia Z are the leaks relating to the updating of Lollipop Sony Xperia C3, a smartphone relatively recent (it was introduced in July of the year 2014) you might finally end up getting an official Lollipop update.
