Sony is still in the process of giving the Android Lollipop updates to some of their Xperia devices, like Z, ZL, ZR and Tablet Z. But already, other Xperia users who have been upgraded can expect a new one to come next month as the Japanese OEM announced that they will be upgrading the whole Xperia Z line to version 5.1. Included also in that update are other Xperia devices like the T2 Ultra and the Xperia C3.
Aside from the usual bug fixes and stability improvements that Lollipop 5.1 will bring, it also has a few minor but important features for your smartphone and/or tablet. Your upgraded device will now have Device Protection so if you lose your gadget for some reason or it was stolen for you, whoever has it will not be able to unlock and use it unless you sign in with your Google account. It also now has support for multiple SIM cards and if your carrier offers it and your device supports it. you can also now use HD voice calling.
Sony also announced that the Xperia M2 and M2 Aqua will be upgraded directly to 5.1, since they still haven’t received the Lollipop yet as of now. But of course, they will only receive it a little after the upgrade to the Xperia devices have started, so owners of these devices would have to wait a little longer.
If all goes to plan, expect Android Lollipop 5.1 to start rolling out to the Xperia Z devices, as well as the other ones mentioned, by July. Of course timing and availability will vary per region and carrier as well.
