The Sony Xperia Z3 Android 5.0 Lollipop update has been rolling out around the world over-the-air (OTA), but it's been a little slow to hit the US. The good news is that Sony has already set its sights on Android 5.1, and the rollout is just around the corner. See below for all the details on the Sony Xperia Z3 Android update.
Update: The Android 5.1 Lollipop update will be landing on Xperia Z devices in July, according to a post on the sonymobile blog. Anthony Devenish, Sony Mobile's PR Manager, wrote that the update would be rolling out for the entire Xperia Z series, as well as the "Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3."
Devenish did highlight that the timing and availability of the update would vary depending on the market, which suggests that, as usual, US carriers might take a little longer to push it out. As it's the latest Sony flagship (besides the Sony Xperia Z3+), expect it to hit the Xperia Z3 sooner than most of the others handsets in the series.
