Sony Xperia Z3 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update to Roll out Early 2015, Z3 Compact and Z3 Tablet Compact to Follow Soon After

Android 5.0 Lollipop is on everyone’s lips lately and the folks at Sony have revealed their plans to bring the new update to their Xperia Z line-up.According to them, the Sony Xperia Z3 Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be rolled out “at beginning of 2015.”

As you may know, the Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be first rolled out for the members of the Nexus tribe early November, followed soon after by the Google Play Edition devices. It looks though that Sony will take their time with releasing the update to their high-end devices, since both Samsung and HTC will reportedly bring the new firmware to their flagship devices by the end of the year.

Besides rolling out the Sony Xperia Z3 Android 5.0 Lollipop update, the Japan-based company also promised to bring the new Android version to Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z3v, and other devices. You will be able to find the full list of Sony devices that will receive Lollipop in this post.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is the most major update Android has received since its debut. It brings a new design philosophy called Material Design, dynamic status bar, redesigned Notifications Panel and Quick Settings menu, lock screen notifications, battery saver mode, support for 64-bit processor, ART runtime, and more.

As you may know, once your device will become eligible to receive the new firmware update, you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, then follow the on-screen instructions. In case the system update notification fails to appear, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > About device > Software updates > Check now. Its also worth mentioning that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be rolled out in phases, with unlocked terminals being the first in-line to get the new update.
