The Sony Xperia Z1, Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the recently introduced Sony Xperia Z1 Compact could be close to receiving the latest of the Android operating system updates, Android 4.4 KitKat. In principle, this update would begin to reach the mobile phones of the previously mentioned Xperia range throughout the month of April. First the update would reach US terminals, and then the rest of the world would gradually receive the same update to the Android operating system.
The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the most recent smartphone that Sony has launched in this list of three terminals in the Xperia range. It is a somewhat more compact mobile than its older brother, the Xperia Z1, and it was expected to incorporate the Android 4.4 KitKat update as standard. Finally, this terminal came standard with the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system, which could respond to a strategy by Sony to update its most popular mobiles at the same time.
So far, the news that the update of Android 4.4 KitKat would introduce in the mobiles of the Japanese manufacturer Sony are not very clear. Probably the first thing users would appreciate would be a small visual change that would modify the appearance of the interface of these three smartphones. The update would surely also be accompanied by an improvement in the fluidity of the operating system (both when navigating the menus and when running games and applications). And as is usual in the updates of the mobiles of this manufacturer, the autonomy It would also be slightly improved with some modification in the battery consumption of these mobiles.
The terminals that do incorporate Android 4.4 KitKat as standard by Sony are those recently announced at the Mobile World Congress 2014 mobile phone event. The Sony Xperia Z2 mobile and the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet come standard with the latest of the latest when it comes to Android. In these two cases, the update incorporates some visual changes that are not very significant compared to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Most likely all the news that we see in these two terminals are precisely the news that owners of the Sony Xperia Z1 will receive,Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and Sony Xperia Z Ultra.
If we take a look at the competition of this manufacturer, the truth is that the other companies are also resisting to suddenly update all their popular phones in stores. For example, Samsung recently confirmed the list of mobiles that would receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update. In this list, phones as current and popular as the Samsung Galaxy S3 were missed, which despite having been on the market for more than a year is still a widely used terminal throughout the world.
