Sony Android

Sony has just released a new firmware update for the Xperia Z flagship. It's still based on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, but brings quite a lot of improvements.

The most notable change is the improved camera quality. The Sony fans probably remember the Xperia Z burst samples had better processing than the ones captured in regular (Auto) mode.

It seems Sony has tweaked the imaging algorithm and now the camera samples look much better.

Other changes include system performance improvements as well as re-calibrated screen colors and white balance settings. There's also a new Mini Apps icon, new keyboard skin, new design for some widgets, notification light on/off toggle, the soft. Finally the navigation keys background color has been changed to black from grey.

There is no official change log yet, so some other changes might be present. The update is available over the air and its version number is 10.1.1.A.1.253.

As usual the update roll out is gradual, so it may take a while before the new build reaches you.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
