At the beginning of last February we already had a warning that made us think that the arrival of Android 4.4.2 KitKat to the Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia ZL and Sony Xperia ZR was imminent. During these dates, these three terminals received a small update that did not introduce any apparent novelty. And it seems precisely that the sole objective of this update was to prepare these three smartphones for the arrival of the latest version of the Android operating system, Android 4.4.2 KitKat. So we have been able to find out thanks to a modification made on Sony's own official website.
This modification has consisted of an update of the section of the operating system of the smartphones of this Japanese manufacturer. It shows both the updates that these terminals have already received and the updates they will receive in the future. And this modification has allowed us to know that the Sony Xperia Z, the Sony Xperia ZL and the Sony Xperia ZR will receive the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update during the month of May. This is one hundred percent officially confirmed news, so undoubtedly the owners of these terminals have a good reason to wait impatiently for the arrival of next month.
Now, what about the rest of the mobiles that have been mentioned so much when talking about Android 4.4.2 KitKat ? One of the most mentioned terminals in the news related to the Android update has been the Sony Xperia SP, which at the moment seems to be that it will not be updated to the latest version of this operating system. Although there are still sources that point out the possibility that this update does occur, the truth is that everything indicates that the owners of this mobile will have to settle for Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Another mobile mentioned in this kind of news is the Sony Xperia V. Although there are quite a few rumors regarding the arrival of Android 4.4.2 KitKat to this smartphone, the truth is that at the moment there is no official confirmation that can tell us if this possibility is as remote as it seems to be.
On the other hand, you also have to take into account that talking about exact dates in terms of updates is very daring. Not only does it depend on the manufacturer complying with the established deadline, but it is also the telephone companies that have the responsibility to launch the updates shortly after their arrival in the free mode. Let us remember that the first to receive the operating system updates are usually free mobiles, while terminals purchased under an operator usually need more time to receive the same update (generally there are differences of several weeks in relation to the original update).
