The Japanese company Sony has taken the reins of the distribution of the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, and for the moment it seems that everything is going according to plan. After the Sony Xperia Z3 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact have been updated, and a few days have passed since the distribution of the Sony Xperia Z2 update along with some tablets of the Xperia Z range, at this moment it seems that the following candidates To receive the Lollipop update are the Sony Xperia Z1, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and the Sony Xperia Z Ultra.
A certification has revealed that Sony has just certified a new update for the Sony Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra that responds to the numbering of 14.5.A.0.242 and that, apparently, contains the Android 5.0 Lollipop version of the Android operating system. This means that the Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra is now ready to begin shipping, and it is only a matter of time before users start receiving it on their smartphones.
The new features of the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra will probably be identical to those incorporated in the updates that have already been distributed among Sony's high-end mobiles. In fact, the video that was leaked in its day of the Sony Xperia Z3 Lollipop update serves so that the owners of these mobiles can get an idea of the news they will receive.
In the absence of knowing if the version that users will receive will be Android 5.0, Android 5.0.1 or Android 5.0.2, we can be sure that the Lollipop update of these phones will include a completely renewed interface (with a design change on the three virtual keys of the operating system), new options related to the management of notifications, new options for user profiles and general performance improvements, as well as other small changes.
On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra are only part of the list of mobile phones in the Xperia Z range that Sony has confirmed will receive the Lollipop update over the next few months. Without taking into account the phones that have already been updated to this version, the Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for the Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia ZL and Sony Xperia ZR are still to be distributed.
In addition, although Sony has confirmed that the only phones to update to this version will be those belonging to the Xperia Z range, there are rumors and leaks that mention Lollipop updates for other phones from this company such as the Sony Xperia C3 or the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra. To confirm the existence of the updates of these other mobiles we have no choice but to wait for Sony to make an official statement in this regard.
