Sony rolls out Android 5.0.2 updates for Xperia Z and Xperia Z1 series devices
Sony has started rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia Z1, Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and Sony Xperia Z1 Ultra. The new update will move the build number from 14.5.A.0.242 to version 14.5.A.0.270.
The update is currently only live on Telus Canada for the C6906 variant only, but it should start seeding for the other Xperia Z1 variants shortly (along with the Z1 Compact and Z Ultra). A number of people have received emails from Sony regarding this update over the last 12 hours or so, so it should be too long before it rolls.
The update offers the following new features and improvements in its changelog, which are similar to what we have already seen on the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3 updates.
Sony Xperia Z1 update (14.5.A.0.270) changelog
- Ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage
- Added a Sony feature; bringing back the “close-all-button” in the activity menu, so you can easily close all apps at once
- Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications
- Ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes – and no longer offset by “silent”
- Made the necessary fixes to enable the easy movement of content from internal memory to external microSD card (something we saw affecting a few devices)
- Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode
Meanwhile, the update for the older Xperia Z series (reportedly 1.2GB in size) contains Lollipop's most notable additions, that is Material Design, lock screen notifications, user profiles, and moving apps to SD cards.
The Lollipop updates should be available over the air and via Sony's desktop software around the world soon. Xperia Z1 users in Canada and Hungary have posted screenshots following the update, confirming that it is indeed rolling out. While there is no news from , but the two-year old phone should be getting updated as we speak. So far, only users in Taiwan have confirmed its sightings.

A couple of weeks ago, Sony started pushing the Android 5.0 Lollipop to some of its top-shelf devices like the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. The manufacturer followed that by also pushing out the latest version of Android for the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z2 Tablet and Xperia Z2. Now the company has confirmed that the Lollipop update will soon be coming to the original Sony Xperia Z.
The Sony Xperia Z is now a couple of years old, but is still a very capable device. It features a 5 inch full HD touch display, 16GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, a 13MP rear camera, a secondary camera for video calls and a 1.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor with 2GB of RAM.
The news falls in line with Sony's initial claim which suggested that the entire Xperia Z line will be updated to Lollipop. However, Sony has also confirmed on this post that the Xperia C3 and Xperia T2 Ultra which are non-Z-Series devices, will also be updated to Lollipop.

Up until now, T-Mobile Xperia Z owners had been stuck on firmware build 10.3.1.E.0.191 and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The good news is that we can confirm that this firmware build relates to an upgrade from Android 4.2.2 to Android 4.3.Its a little frustrating for T-Mobile customers, given that the global version of Xperia Z is already receiving Android 4.4 KitKat. But its still better than being stuck on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean in any case. Even though T-Mobile's support page does not confirm Android 4.3, you can expect all the new features from Google along with option to do a master reset using the hardware keys and various improvements.
The update is being pushed OTA (over-the-air) and you will be able to download and install it once you get the OTA alert. Since such updates are usually rolled out in phases, it may be a couple of days before you will be able to install the update. If you dont want to wait for the OTA, you could use Sony's desktop companion software to manually install the update. It's pretty hefty, clocking in at 312MB.

Sony is now releasing the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean software update to the Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia ZL, Sony Xperia ZR and the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
Sony does mention that the availability of the update “may vary by market and carrier.” So not everyone gets to enjoy Android 4.3 starting today or the next few days, but the update will certainly come eventually.
In case you don’t know, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean brings a nicer graphical experience alongside Project Butter performance and UI optimization. The update also brings Sony’s Smart Social Camera to the four Xperias, plus many enhancements on other Sony-specific apps and services.
All four Sony devices that are receiving Android 4.3 Jelly Bean now will likely also get Android 4.4 KitKat. Sony hasn't given an exact date, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.

That means the two Sony flagships will skip the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update in favor of the newest version of Android. However Sony still plans to offer Android 4.3 to devices like the Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia ZL and Sony Xperia ZR by the end of this year, before they get a chance at KitKat.
