Owners of the Sony Xperia Z3 will be pleased to know that Sony will start to roll out the Android Lollipop update to the handset next week.
Sony has confirmed the news on their official Twitter account in France and they also confirmed that the update will support the ability to move your apps to the SD card slot.
Global Rollout and New Features
The news was first announced by Sony Indonesia and then confirmed by Sony France yesterday, so it looks like this should be a global roll out of the Android Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z3. The update will bring a range of new features to the Xperia Z3 including Google’s Material Design. Material Design is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms and devices. It brings a more intuitive and visually appealing interface to the device, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with their apps.
In addition to Material Design, the Android Lollipop update will introduce several other enhancements. These include improved notifications that are more interactive and can be accessed directly from the lock screen. The update also brings better battery management features, thanks to the new Battery Saver mode which can extend the device’s battery life by up to 90 minutes. Users will also benefit from enhanced security features, such as the Smart Lock, which allows the device to remain unlocked when it is in a trusted location or connected to a trusted device.
App Management and Performance Improvements
One of the most anticipated features of the Android Lollipop update is the ability to move apps to the SD card slot. This is particularly useful for users who have limited internal storage on their devices. By moving apps to the SD card, users can free up valuable internal storage space, allowing their device to run more efficiently and store more data.
The update also promises to improve the overall performance of the Sony Xperia Z3. With the new ART (Android Runtime) compiler, apps will open faster and run more smoothly. This is a significant improvement over the previous Dalvik runtime, which often resulted in slower app performance and longer load times. Additionally, the update includes support for 64-bit processors, which can further enhance the device’s performance and future-proof it for upcoming software updates.
As yet there are no details on which day Sony will release the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for their Sony Xperia Z3 smartphone. However, it is expected to be rolled out in phases, starting with unlocked devices and then moving on to carrier-specific models. As soon as we get confirmation of the exact release date, we will let you guys know.
In the meantime, Xperia Z3 owners can prepare for the update by ensuring their device has enough battery life and available storage space. It is also a good idea to back up important data before installing the update, to prevent any potential data loss during the installation process.
The Android Lollipop update is a significant upgrade for the Sony Xperia Z3, bringing a host of new features and improvements that will enhance the user experience. With its sleek new design, improved performance, and added functionality, the update is sure to be well-received by Xperia Z3 owners around the world.
