Sony says no Lollipop for non-Xperia Z series owners

Sony Mobile hasn’t started to roll the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to Xperia Z series owners yet, but we get asked almost daily what the plan is for those who didn’t buy a Xperia Z series device last year. This includes the Xperia C3, E1, E3, M2, M2 Aqua, T2 Ultra and T3.

Sony has only ever formally communicated Android Lollipop plans for Xperia Z series owners, without even a mention for those using other handsets. Well the omens don’t look great as the official Sony Mobile twitter channel has started to tell owners of 2014 non-Xperia Z series owners that the Lollipop upgrade will be exclusive to Xperia Z owners only.



There is still some hope for non Xperia Z series owners though as the guys that run the social channels have not always been correct in the past. However, we noticed this Lollipop message being communicated in more than one tweet and given how definitive the message sounds, it all seems a bit ominous for non-Xperia Z owners.
