Sony has been one of the most vocal smartphone manufacturers since the announcement of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean went live, and while it hasn’t quite followed through with the noise it made with an early release, it is nevertheless bringing Android 4.3 for Sony Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra out in good time. Sony today made a post on its Sony Mobile blog saying that Android 4.3 is rolling out now to their flagship Z1 and its gargantuan phablet brother, though when you actually receive the update will depend on your region.
Beyond bringing Android 4.3 to the two handsets, some of the features that are rolling out in this update include:
- the Xperia Z Ultra will be receive the Sony Smart Social Camera that the Xperia Z1 came with;
- an update to Sony’s library of proprietary apps;
- more Sony Entertainment Network cloud integration in the WALKMAN, Album and Movies app;
- the launch of Sony’s “unique custom interface experience” called Xperia Themes
It’s a pretty substantive update so we can’t wait to see what Sony has in store for the Android 4.4 update, whenever that drops. If you have either of these devices and you get the update, feel free to let us know and tell us how you’re finding the update.
