In July, Sony Mobile, headquartered in Tokyo, confirmed that the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update was being rolled out to the Xperia Z2 and Z3 series. The tech giant also gave a vague idea of the order in which the handsets will be updated.
It said, “All of the handsets stem from the 2013/14 Sony Xperia range, what we don’t know right now is when the company plans to update its 2015 range to Android 5.1. We’ll let owners of the Xperia Z3+, Z4 Tablet, M4 Aqua, C4 et al. know once firm plans have been announced.”
Sony has already rolled out the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware update to Xperia C3. Now latest reports suggest that Xperia C4 is also expected to get Lollipop’s final software update through an official download over the air (OTA), Venture Capital Post reported.
