The Japanese company Sony is starting to release the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat update worldwide for the Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia ZL and Sony Xperia ZR. The update is beginning to be released little by little throughout the world, and it is expected that in the coming days it will end up reaching all the markets in which these mobile phones have a presence. In addition to these three phones, the update is also coming to the Sony Xperia Z tablet.
The novelties of this update of Android 4.4.2 KitKat are appreciable both at the interface level and at the mobile operation level. In the aspect of the interface, in addition to the news that Google has incorporated in this update (modified notification bar, new icons, etc.), Sony also brings certain novelties in the design of applications such as Email, the Camera application or STAMINA Mode. These applications will now offer a renewed appearance and adapted to this new version of the Android operating system.
This update also adds compatibility with the Sony SmartBand SWR10 smart bracelet and the Lifelog app. In this way, users will be able to record their daily physical activity using the smart bracelet that Sony introduced a few months ago.
Regarding the fluidity of these phones, we hope that the update will bring with it certain improvements that allow the three mobile phones updated to Android 4.4.2 KitKat to offer a better response to user requests. After all, smartphone updates are still small additions aimed at extending the useful life of these devices.
Sony has also taken the opportunity to remind us that, starting next July, the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update will also end up reaching the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra, the Sony Xperia E1 and the Sony Xperia M2. The exact details of the update will be known over the next few weeks, although it is to be assumed that it will be very similar to what has arrived with this update.
But the list of mobiles that will receive the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update does not end there. A recent rumor let us know that the Sony Xperia SP, Sony Xperia C and Sony Xperia L could also be updated to the latest version of the Android operating system. This rumor suggested that the update would begin to be made public at the end of June or at the beginning of July, which would coincide with the date on which Sony has confirmed that it will publish the update of the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra, of the Sony Xperia E1 and Sony Xperia M2. The difference is that in this case there is still no official confirmation, so we must wait for the final announcement by Sony to be sure that these other three mobile phones will also be updated to the most recent version of the system.
