<<The current plan is that the XperiaTM X10 will get the Android standard Camera user interface and therefore features like e.g. face recognition, smile shutter etc will be lost.>>
They promote X10 as an Android device that has the best in its camera and now... they cut off all its advanced functionalities?! What the hell ?!

What uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup?

This is an excellent change of pace, Sony, congratulations.

One can always stand on 2.1
I'd change that for 2.3.3 in a heartbeat. That stuff never recognizes people properly.

late is better than never, at least they are listening to customers after they were bagged out for abandoning the x10.

"Why are you doing this upgrade?
We have listened to our consumers."

Thanks a lot for sharing the site :::::

Great news Any chance they're able to block our bootloader bypass with this update?
Will you upgrade the XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and XperiaTM X8 to 2.3?
No, we have no such plans. We have had to prioritize our resources and have therefore focused on delivering the upgrade to XperiaTM X10.

I'm owner of the big X10 but... that's a real pitty for all the other Xperia series owners.

NO WAY! I am utterly shocked. I have hated every post on XDA begging for 2.2/2.3 because i thought they were pointless, but I stand corrected - well done guys!

I think they gonna use jerpeleas' freexperia sources
Note this one also
Can I go back to the 2.1 version if I am not happy with the upgrade?
No – our upgrade solutions do not support downgrading.

Well it's not really hard for them. They'll just be porting almost all software from the Arc/Neo/Pro/Play to the X10, and maybe adjust some little things. Not that surprising imo.

its under investigation because they are planning to abandon further support for sp because they have new sets of mobile lined up for this year which they will focus on more...
I BELIEVE THAT SP IS VERY MUCH CAPABLE OF RUNNING KITKAT

Why even post this considering it's already been mentioned in the android 4.3/kitkat thread....

For Ordinary KitKat i think that it will work but pray for ART

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?

Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!

I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:

Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.

That's a good news. I can hardly believe Sony's developers are so quick because the first lollipop update was delayed for about 2 months.

Very good news. But I heard that it will be delayed until august

Wishful Thinking: Implementing the camera 2.0 api

Sony said they are concidering the new API if people want it.
Which i do because college work...
Looks like sony is 5 months ahead of schedule for 5.1
Though then again 4.2,4.3 and 4.4 were faster then expected

Actually i guess that was nothing but a scripted answer in the sony forums..it's huge work and step to be done since 2 companies implemented it fully apart from the nexus line..

good, hope it comes not too late

I hope they use raw camera in them

Since certification we have to wait at least two months like it was with 5.0.2 Lollipop, so the earliest ETA we can expect Android 5.1.x is July 2015

I don't see this version certified at all yet but when it is there is no "two months" wait requirement.
Sometimes once certified you see a release with weeks.

I hope they update camera binaries to support Camera2 api. I don't have to have RAW, manual exposure would be sufficient. How hard can it be?

+ manual focus
Perhaps shutter speed

Android 5.1 coming to the Z.

Sony have officially announced that Android 5.1 is coming to the entire Z series starting from July. The support for this device just keeps getting better and better!

4.1 - 5.1.x - better support than the Nexus 4.
Great move from Sony, a step ahead of the competition.

Are there many (or any) devices that have had 5 official updates to major versions of Android? Sony are excelling themselves with their continued support.

Great job Sony! But i do not expect it to be upgraded to Android M

5.1 is really service pack for 5.0. Current version is quite buggy
Talk softly, tread carefully and carry a big gun.

Well, for sure my next phone will be from Sony. I'm impressed!

Hugely impressed with the amount of upgrades. My phone is over 2 years old now and still as useful as day one. Nice work Sony...

So much irony over here.. Previously before this annunciation we had post like „I don't expect Sony will bring us 5.0.x“,. after that we've seen „Sony is so dumbasse* that they can't bring us 5.1“ (or sth), and now, when we're officially getting 5.1 people start's saying „I don't expect Android M“.. c'mon, guys. We're so damn lucky that we even got 5.0.x, because our Z is 2+ years old.

come on guys even the nexus devices don't get updates tis much. instead of feeling bad about android m be glad about our XZ's having a L update. i think sony is doing a great job about android and phones or tablets. it's a shame that other phones users don't see the durability, camera, support and power of our devices.

camera takes very bad pictures especially after update

thats why i will stick to Sony. i abandoned Chinese handsets a long time ago and bought an Xperia Z with a nice open source policy, a big community and updates for this handset. Thank you Sony for supporting us!

I think we will wait another two or three months to have it on our Z. But I am very happy we will get it.

well i think there are some camero improvements. especially speed of focus. it focuses faster than before and i tink low light photos are better too. at least i feel that way

Another 8 months more to get 5.1 based on my own speculation. Sony Mobile first announce their lollipop upgrade @oct last year and we got it after around 7 months.

5.0 -> 5.1 is a much simpler step than 4.4 -> 5.0 so it shouldn't take as long.

Can I use AAC codec for a Bluetooth device not included in the Qualcomm Whitelist? (airpods, wf 1000x, qcy t1....)
For other manufacturers, codecs are available. Sony is not possible. Qualcomm told the manufacturer to change the settings. Sony has not changed the settings. Did sony update this at this time?

Camera look like so as in 2.33

Unfortunately I installed Pie on my Xperia XZ Premium. Phone is now completely useless becouse I cannot even change volume of ringer. Is it any way to repair xz premium without unlocking bootloader? I wonder back to Android Oreo or Nougat? I have bought fully working phone without silly limitation from Android 9.0. Maybe the best way is to send phone on RMA where they repair phone or send phone directly to seller and request another one without defect known as Android Pie?
