AnonD-665723, 11 Aug 2018Where are models like Xperia XZ Xperia XZs Xperia XA1 Plus Xperia XA2 No pie for them? This is the list of 1st phase update I guess. But XZs should have been in the 1st phase being a flagship. XA2 series must be getting updated in 2nd phase for sure. But XA1 series getting Pie has thin chance considering XA series never got more than one major update. XZ already got two updates 6->7->8.

Too little, too late.

When was Sony ever praised for mobile camera software? Never? They have a knack of devaluating their DSLR's and MILC's by taping their branding on phones, but I think even Sony has realised that's counter-productive these days.

Whackcar, 11 Aug 2018Meanwhile Samsung promises Android 9.0 Update till Summer 2019... What a joke. Sony = True ... moreI've just updated my Pixel to Android P and to be honest, it's nothing special. Samsung users ain't missing much.

But if it happens, that would be a record of some kind, yes?

Last month I bought Sony XA2 phone which I really like, I hope that phone is going to get Android P, in the past I think that Sony rolled out the update for other phones, I am really confused why the XA2 Ultra wasn't on the list....

Ellio74, 11 Aug 2018Major updates like these aren't just about adding features, but also optimizations.
And if yo... moreLDAC is Sony propitiatory, But they contribute it to Oreo for free ( So more people can make use of Sony's bluetooth speakers/headphones = more sales).
But it still requires developers to actually implement it and not all chipsets support it.

Tann Hauser, 11 Aug 2018I recieced Oreo on my X Performance only a month after XZ Premium did. :-)I'm also rocking Oreo on my X Performance.

Geric.770, 11 Aug 2018It's was called Multi Window on Android KitKat Galaxy phones before. Yes, Samsung is the sourc... moreFirst smartphone with 'Multi Window', later known as Split Screen was.. taaa daaa.. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (also first smartphone in the world with 3GB of RAM). But, that was in September 2013, and on Jelly Bean (4.3). Way, way, before Google = Nougat, yea we also have split screen :D
But, time change, today Samsung is no longer trendsetter in UI tweeks and inovation (Note series is), but some of OEM from new generation (Oppo, vivo, Xiaomi, OnePlus.. etc)..

I hope this came from Google! It's everything but great in my opinion, the Pixel pictures are overdone. I immediately notice a Pixel pictures and the resulting HDR "artefacts".
And don't be worried, people are still buying Sony for their camera capabilities ;)
