If you use an Android phone, you're probably wondering right about now when — or even if — Android 5.0 Lollipop will reach your handset.
Sony has some answers. The company on Thursday announced plans to upgrade its entire Xperia Z Series Line to Google's new mobile operating system, starting with the Z Ultra Google Play edition. The list of future Lollipop-equipped devices also includes the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1s, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact, and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.
Sony did not provide a date for the updates, but said they will start sometime early next year.
"We'll start the upgrade at the beginning of 2015 for the core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series — continuing thereafter for all remaining devices above," the company wrote in a blog post. "We've been working hard to bring this major update to as many of our Z Series devices as we can, as quickly as we can."
Unveiled on Wednesday, Android Lollipop offers features like multiple user accounts, a guest user mode, and default encryption. Additional controls include the ability to mute contacts and notifications at particular times (say for an important meeting or a romantic dinner)so only messages or calls from designated appear.
Perhaps the most consumer-friendly feature, though, is Lollipop's new battery-saver feature, which promises to extend the life of your device by up to 90 minutes.
