Sony has AOSP Android Lollipop Running on Xperia Z1, Z2 and Z3 [Video]

Sony Xperia Android 5.0 Lollipop

Everyone is eagerly awaiting their device manufacturer, and corresponding carriers, to start pushing out updates to the latest Android OS version, Lollipop. While we all know in our hearts that the first set of updates for devices beyond the Nexus line aren’t likely to begin rolling out for another month or two, we are all still eager to see and hear about progress for our specific devices. A blog post that went up today on the Sony Mobile Blog shows owners of the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3 some hope. Not that Sony didn’t already announce that Android 5.0 would be coming to those devices starting early in 2015.

It is all still very early and is just straight AOSP Android, meaning Sony hasn’t put in all their software and specialty apps yet. It is sure pretty looking though.

A secondary post was published to the Sony Developer blog as well that lets developers, and tinkerers alike, know that they are working hard to bring the binaries for unlocked Xperia devices to use as a base for compiling your own AOSP ROM from the AOSP source code. They also already have the device configurations ready for the Xperia Z1 and Z2 with the Z3 on the way.
