The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is one of the three smartphones from the Japanese company Sony that for a few weeks was listed in a leak related to the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update. Finally, everything indicates that the update is already around the corner, since a file has just been filtered through which any user can update their Sony Xperia Z1 Compact to the most recent version of the Android operating system.
Of course, we must know that it is an extra-official file that does not have any support from Sony, so that only the most knowledgeable users in the world of smartphone customization should download and install this file. We must also bear in mind that this file is based on a particular modification of a team specialized in the edition of operating systems, so there is a good chance that the official update of Android 4.4.2 KitKat presents certain differences with respect to this file.
In short, what we present in this article is a file aimed at users who want to get an idea of what Android 4.4.2 KitKat will look like on the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. The file occupies an approximate space of 250 MegaBytes and can be downloaded from this link: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=amami.
Recall that, in addition to the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, the other two phones from this manufacturer that were also listed to receive the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update are the Sony Xperia Z1 and the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The Sony Xperia Z1 at the moment has only received a single update that has little or nothing to do with the Android operating system. In contrast, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra received the update corresponding to Android 4.4.2 KitKat at the beginning of March, although at the moment this update is only available in Asian territory.
Everything indicates that we will have to wait at least until April to start receiving updates to the operating system of these three mobiles within the European territory. Furthermore, the first update will only be available for free versions of these terminals (that is, mobiles that do not belong to any operator). Instead, users who have any of these three phones under a company flag will have to wait a few additional weeks to download the update.
Remember that the best way to check if we already have the update available in our terminal is to follow these steps:
- First we navigate to the " Settings " application.
- Once inside, click on the option " About the phone ".
- A new screen will open in which we must look for the option " Software update ", and if we click on the option " Update ", the terminal will inform us if we have installed the latest update available at that time.
