Sony Xperia 5 V gets Android 15 update

Sony's Xperia 1 V received its update to Android 15 a few days ago, and today the company has started delivering the same update to the Xperia 5 V as well.

There are already reports on Reddit from people who have received the update notification. It's a 1GB download and once you've installed it you'll be on software version 67.2.A.2.41.

The update brings Private Space with it. This lets you keep apps in a separate space in the app drawer, behind a lock.

Additionally, there's a color contrast setting for the Home screen, a new way to change the clock displayed on the lock screen, and Side sense gets a new Dashboard function which lets you quickly change or check the status of your most used settings.

The Quick Settings panel and notification panel have been redesigned, and you can take a screenshot from the Quick Settings. There are also changes to how pop-up windows work, as well as some other minor changes - you can read all about them at the Source linked below.

As usual, we expect the rollout to be staggered and thus it will probably take a few days, if not weeks, for it to reach all Xperia 5 V units out there in the wild.
