Android 5.0 Lollipop for Sony Xperia Z2 to Arrive Q1/Q2 2015, Z2 Tablet Will Get it at a Later Time

Android 5.0 Lollipop for Sony Xperia Z2 

Sony have revealed their plans regarding the new update for Google’s mobile operating system. According to the Japanese phone maker, the Sony Xperia Z2 Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be released sometime early 2014, followed soon after by the other members of the Z2 series.

Even though the Android 5.0 Lollipop will start rolling out for the first supported devices later next month, it looks like Sony needs more time to optimize the new firmware for their devices. As usual, the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Sony Xperia Z2 will be rolled out in phases. Of course, the unlocked Xperia Z2 variants will be the first ones to receive the new update, as carriers tend to delay new firmwares to win more time to test them on their network.

Fortunately, the Sony Xperia Z2 will not be the only member of the Z2 series to receive the new update. Sony announced they will also be bringing the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet, without mentioning when the new update will be released for the tablet. For a list of all Sony devices that will receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update feel free to check out this post.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, Android update ever and I am sure that most of you are eager to get it on your devices. The new Android version arrives with a new design language called Material design, better multitasking, redesigned notifications panel, dynamic status bar, lockscreen notifications, new quick settings menu, battery saver mode, support for 64-bit processors, ART runtime, and more.
