It might have been a long wait for some but it’s finally here. Sony has started rolling out the Android 4.4 KitKat OS upgrade for the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, and Xperia Tablet Z.
Below are some of the features that Android KitKat will bring to the mentioned Xperia devices:
• Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat as standard – bringing improved performance & user interface (UI) optimisation.
• If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and live wallpaper across the lock and home screens. You’ll also spot a revamped Status Bar and Quick Settings, now more intuitive and customisable (also with a fresh new look), cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need.
• As you might expect, we’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for one and all. Some of our favorites look like:
* Messaging – a few UI adjustments here & there, including a slicker “send” animation, and deeper Emoji support for some expressive fun. Also worth noting, you’ll find smileys wherever there’s an app with a keyboard.
* Email – you’ll be able to both load and see more mails… but don’t fret, navigation of said load is easier with a more responsive viewing pane – split screen modes divide info for easy digest. Especially useful / works a treat on Xperia Tablet Z.
* Smart Social Camera – our social imaging experience makes its debut on our first Z Series devices; a selection of Xperia Camera apps directly accessible from your viewfinder, including personal favourite “Creative Effect”, and more for download to boot!
* Battery STAMINA Mode – level-upping our unique power management feature, bringing smarter data management & more for prolonging your juice.
• Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration – a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more.
• And proving pretty popular, now totaling over 2 million downloads (!) – our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles.
• Compatibility with our SmartWear Experience; SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app – enabling you to record social, physical and entertainment activities and have them all visualised in a beautiful interface.
Sony will also start seeding Android 4.4 KitKat for the Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia E1 and Xperia M2 (and dual variants) starting July.

For the price, SONY should always be updated with their phone OS…
Before they had one of the slowest update rollouts for the OEMS…. If they fix this, they might get even a bigger market share.
Zobel says:
Doubt that. Everything Sony is overpriced, therefore, not worth it. Pangalan lang binabayaran mo sa kanila. No wonder puro “struggling” ang descriptive term sa kumpanyang yan on every business news report.
meh says:
It took them a bit too long to update. But at least they update , some OEM never do at all (if you buy these china phones) Sony is expensive, but the hardware is great and its less bloated than samsung
