Sony Xperia Z Ultra GPe getting Android 5.0 Lollipop update

Sony Android Firmware update

Sony may have demoed early Android 5.0 Lollipop builds on the Xperia Z1, Z2, Z3 trio but it’s the Sony Xperia Z Ultra GPe that is getting the coveted update first. GPe – short for Google Play Edition – is a line of purified flagship devices from several makers, like a branded Nexus line.

Some lucky bloke on the Android Central forums already downloaded the system update, weighing in at 397.3MB it requires at least 500MB free to install (that’s not much, considering iOS 8 requires 4-5GB).


Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z Ultra GPe now available

The update introduces a "bold new visual style" (Material Design), improves performance and adds new features. Among them are notifications on the lock screen, interruption controls for the notifications and Smart Lock (disable the secure lockscreen when connected to certain Bluetooth devices or NFC tags). The battery saving mode has also been improved.

Again, note that this update is for the Sony Xperia Z Ultra Google Play Edition, the one with Xperia software is still waiting (but will certainly get the Lollipop update).

Go on, check for updates on your phone and if it’s available, drop a line in the comments with your region – it will be very informative to our other readers.

Got updated to 5.0.2, beautiful, but d***en it lagged so much, and the proc seems running high all the time. No wonder battery drained fast! Hope Sony brings some update to fix it.
