It's just normal thing to happen. XZ users are happy because that was never expected to happen
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!

I'm waiting for SP users to infiltrate and say how Sony will lie to us!
I've only just got 4.4.4, I can't bear another wait for 5.0, sigh.

The bad is it's supposed to be the newest flagship first.
Our good old Z (L & R) will be delivered later 2015 (if it happen).

A thread already exists for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/sony-xperia-z-getting-android-5-0-t2908052 please use it instead. Thanks

While I agree that the update will probably be released in the next few weeks, PTCRB certification only tests for compliance to mobile (cell) network standards and is only a small part of Sony's certification process. Therefore it does not guarantee a particular firmware version will be released.

From My Xperia Z With XDA App
Very likely that 4.4.4 will stay the latest update. According to this source, Xperia Z will become EOL, and not get an official Android L update:

I personally think we was lucky to get 4.4.4 anyway so certainly not at all expecting Android L currently deciding what to do buy out my contract and get the Z3 or wait until January and see what else is available

Sony will make AOSP roms for all high end Xperia Devices!!!

Link (German)
So this means Xperiz Z2 will also get AOSP rom from Sony, that's a huge advantage in long term development for this device. What do you think?
They said this for Xperia S way before. And you know what? xperia S didn't receive single AOSP from Sony.
So I would say, you can ignore this news.
(case with Xperia S, happened to multiple phones, so I don't see reason why will they change this now)

No, they said they would proved sources needed to build AOSP ROMS, which would be available at their Github. That's different.

Officially from Sony
developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/android-open-source-project-for-xperia-devices/
We know that Sony is taking help from jerpelea for AOSP releases. Only time will tell if its happening or not!
Android One has already hit hard on big names, AOSP ROM will be a way to directly provide the updates without much headaches.

Z2 has been added to the github code
Aka if any devs actualy need aosp code then they can consult to the github because sirius has already been added
We just have to wait on devs to port the a rom to Z2
One already exists but hasnt been updated for quite a while, it doesnt use the Github code though

Z5 marshmallow update start rolling out

"Good news for xperia z5 owners"
Sony Xperia Z5*owners have a nice treat to wake up to this morning. The device is now getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
We should note that rollouts are only known to have begun in Turkey, and it’s not yet known when the rest of the world will get in on it. It’s also worth noting that the other variants in the Xperia Z5 family — the Xperia Z5 Compact and Premium — aren’t yet included in this round.
That said, it shouldn’t be long before more regions and more devices are hooked up, so be patient. As for those on Turkey with this phone, be sure to check for your new goods over-the-air.

As I said: no proof. Just read the "Z5 Marshmallow update" post and go a little backwards.
Transaction of above link
Good news comes from Turkey, namely the Facebook profile of the company. It appears that it started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the range Z5 . At the moment there seems to be a bit 'of traffic on servers but the OTA was sent and so it is only a matter of hours or at most a few days.
Turkey Sony also confirmed the update scheduled for February for Xperia Z2 also imagine for Z3 series. We'll see if after Turkey will follow European markets such as Italy
Sent from my E6683 using Tapatalk
Fake
The source is a Sony Turkey fanpage, the first time that I've read this new was on January 21th. And I was verifying all days at XperiFirm without finding anything, so I dare to say that is a fake.
This info isn't from an official Sony Facebook page. It's a Turkish fanpage. Everyone can open a fanpage like this!

Well, for sure it's overpriced... the screen is not worth it and coming from a ZU I also struggled at first with the size. Afrer a while you realize that it's actually a really nice phone, but still overpriced
On the plus side, with a good quality "wired" headphones you have superb music experience, incredible! The camera is apparently very good as well but I'm not the selfie type :silly:
The only sw I miss is stamina, if they bring that back in I will be quite happy having spent a considerable amount on this handset

As announced by Google on revealing the version name, named "Oreo", its also listed that XA will get an update for it.

Lol and where did you get that from? Sony hasn't said anything regarding Oreo AFAIK.
I'm pretty sure the XA is done now that it has gotten 7.0, even 7.1 is unlikely in my opinion but it is a great phone nonetheless.
I dont think will get android 8.
But i am ok with nougat!

I know how it works. Sites like that do it with purpose (more people will see it and share with their friends and they get more visitors to their site). I had Xperia E3 where some sites said the same for that phone when MM was released and guess what? E3 is still on KK 4.4.4.
You can't trust all these sites, they're just tech geeks typing what they think or have been incorrectly told. Sony hasn't said anything for any devices yet, though I am certain XA will be left on 7.0 which is fair considering it is a mid-low end phone. When I had the Xperia SP some site said we'd still be getting 4.4 when Sony went back on their word but that never happened and it was ditched on a buggy 4.3.
Well It's confirmed NO Android O for XA (https://blogs.sonymobile.com/2017/08/31/xperia-android-8-0-oreo/) :|
