The sony xperia m2 and t2 ultra will receive the update of android 4.4.4 kitkat extra

The Japanese company Sony has released the source code for two of its mid-range smartphones, the Sony Xperia M2 and the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra. From this source code, developers have the opportunity to create extra-official updates for both mobiles, guaranteeing the same stability as that which can be obtained from an official update. And as it is known so far, the developers have already started work to create an extra-official update to Android 4.4.4 KitKat intended for both the Sony Xperia M2 and the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra.

The development of these extra-official updates (at the moment the developers are focusing on getting the Android 4.4.4 KitKat version on both phones) can be followed from the US XDA-Developers forum. The link to follow the development of the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update for the Sony Xperia M2 is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/xperia-aosp-project-t2937118 , While the link to check the progress of the update of Android 4.4.4 KitKat of the Sony Xperia T2 Ultr a is this other: http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/orig-development/xperia-aosp -project-t2937120 .

In the not too distant future, it is also to be expected that developers will offer previous versions of the Android operating system for these two phones, which can be very useful for users who have experienced a problem with any of Sony's official updates. Of course, in all cases we are talking about updates completely unrelated to Sony, so owners of a Sony Xperia M2 or Sony Xperia T2 Ultra who decide to install these files on their mobiles must do so at their own risk.

If we take a look at the history of the official updates of these two mobiles, in the case of the Sony Xperia M2 we will see that we are talking about a smartphone that was officially presented in early 2014 with the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version of the Android operating system installed as standard. Months after its launch, Sony updated this terminal with the Android 4.4.2 KitKat version, which brought with it important new features such as the option to move applications to the external memory card.

The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra, meanwhile, was also presented at the beginning of this year under the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version, while its respective Android 4.4.2 KitKat update was distributed as of July. Even in certain countries the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra has also received the Android 4.4.3 KitKat update, the later version of the Android operating system that includes some improvements over Android 4.4.2.

On the other hand, it should be noted that neither the Sony Xperia M2 nor the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra are candidates -for now- to officially receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, the most recent version of Android. In fact, Sony has already confirmed that it will only update the Xperia Z range mobiles to this version.
