Sony Android

Sony has started rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact in the Nordic and Baltic countries.



The company aims to push the Lollipop for the Xperia Z series phones for other regions in in coming two-three weeks. The new Android 5.0 packaging update brings the Material Design user interface packaged with new themes and wallpapers.

The notifications and lock screen also have been tweaked with an option to customize them. Of course, you can create separate profiles for work and personal time.

Sony has implemented the Android for Work to make its flagship productive enough. Hopefully the Project Volta will show some magic to improve the already great battery life of the Z series further.

For now, Sony seems to be focused on the Xperia Z series while the timeline of other Xperia phones getting Lollipop is uncertain.
