With other manufacturers already modernizing their devices to Android 10, it was a crucial time for Sony to announce something positive about its policies, and that’s exactly what it resolved to finally do today.
The company announced that eight of its smartphones are in line to receive the newest version of the OS. These are the Xperia 1, Xperia 5, Xperia 10, Xperia 10 Plus, Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ2 Premium, and Xperia XZ3.
That’s it. If you own Sony devices other than these and if you are expecting to see it run Android 10, you are unlucky, at least for now. There’s always a possibility the organization may include more handsets later, but you apparently shouldn’t hold your breath.
The Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 will be the first of all to receive Android 10, at some point next month. The other six devices will have to remain patient till “early 2020 onwards”, to quote Sony’s parlance. Accurate timing and update availability will vary by country or operator, as usual.
