Sony Xperia Z2 with Android 4.4.4 KitKat Update and Schedule

Sony has been working on delivering Android updates as fast as it can. According to the latest information, the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update has been certified with users expected to see the download available soon. The release may follow a similar pattern as with other Android updates with the roll out done in stages. Some users can get access to the device sooner while others delayed.

Sony promised users that the Android 4.4.4 KitKat Over the Air or OTA release to Xperia Z2 will be coming soon. The company did not provide any particular dates but it should be soon as the company moves to the final stages according to Hallels. Reports also projected the release date to be around November.

There have been concerns among Xperia Z2 users as some older Sony handsets have received the update with the unit seemingly "ignored." Other devices that got certification included Xperia Z2 Tablet SGP521, Xperia Z2 L50w, Xperia Z2 D6503, Sony Xperia Z2 D6502 and Xperia Z2 Tablet SGP541.

According to Android Headlines, Sony Xperia Z2 will receive a revamp on its design similar to the Xperia Z3. Once users update to the software, they can expect a similar launcher to the Z3. Other improvements to expect include power menu giving people the option to begin a screen recording, reboot and screenshot. Likewise, people can expect the update to allow the Z2 to last longer with limited usability. More importantly, people will also see a pairing option with Dualshock 4 PlayStation controller. This should be great news for those who are fans of Sony.

Android Headlines also noted that it strikes as odd to see the firmware build older compared to the the one certified just recently. There are Android 4.4.4 KitKat custom ROMs available for those who cannot wait for the official firmware. Users are advised to take caution when dealing with these ROMs as they can result to bricked phones and warranty loss.
