Sony Mobile has just confirmed that it plans to update ten Xperia handsets to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from December 2013 onwards. The handsets on the list includes the Xperia Z series (Z, ZL, ZR, Z Ultra, Z1 and Tablet Z) along with the Xperia SP. It also confirmed that a number of older handsets will also get Android 4.3 including the Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V.
A number of recent lower-end handsets have not made the list at all though, including the Xperia L, Xperia M and Xperia C. The Xperia L and Xperia M should be able to handle the upgrade, so maybe Sony has decided not to update these handsets given their positioning. This would be a shame though especially since they only launched within the last six months. The Xperia C has limited availability so we can understand if that was left off due to commercial reasons. We’ll keep you posted as the countdown to the Android 4.3 update commences.

Saw this today also, great news......... 4.4 will also be coming to the Z series also ......
Why they didn't just update directly to 4.4 and skip 4.3? It will make more sense.

How's the performance of the eXistenZ ROM and Kernal? Does it improve the ZL's battery life?
Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware started to roll out for the Xperia T2 Ultra and T2 Ultra Dual earlier this week. Apart from the usual features to be expected with an update to Xperia KitKat, we were surprised to see the addition of an apps to SD card feature.
The KitKat update for the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual (D5322) took the form of build number 19.1.C.0.116. However, another (very tiny) update has been certified for the handset with build 19.1.C.0.117. This is most probably a small bug fix that Sony didn’t get to push with the KitKat release. We’ll let you know if Sony releases this update.

I think I love my M8.
Have you used Sony phone before? I would first check out the ui and what features it comes with. I don't think anyone should tell you which phone to get. It all comes down to your preferences.

On first glance, z2 and z3 does have a nice UI to it but (to me personally) after looking at it for just a few days, I got disgusted by it
I was using a HOX initially and decided to play with a Xperia Z and didn't find it much of a appeal so didn't went to get the Z2 but the M8 instead.
But if you want the great battery life for your devices, go for Z2 or Z3! These devices can easily hit 10hr SOT with a single charge
Hi Guys,
I have noticed this kind of thread in some of the other devices, so created one for the xz1 compact.
I really am waiting to get this device.
I had z3c and loved it due to its size and battery life. No other phone came close to it.
But unfortunately, xz1 compact is announced but not available in India anywhere.
Even sony has no information when and if it will be available in India.
So, guys, anyone with any information regarding this, please post it on here.
It will help me and some others also as well.
Thanks.
Sony has not launched any recent compact version in India, Z5 Compact, X compact have not been made available in India. I even contacted Sony for knowing about X Compact's India lauch which the service executives were not aware of.
My guess is they ll not launch XZ1 compact either.
Today came 50.1.A.10.51 firmware. I downloaded Germany for XA2 with XperiFirm and checked its build.prop. What got me confused are this two lines:
Code:
ro.product.name=nile
ro.product.device=nile
As far as I know XA2 codename is "Pioneer", right? So why i build.prop it's called "nile"? Nile is it's codename on Sony's GitHub as well...
Anyone has any idea?
Got it, it's platform. But still strange. XZ devices have their own names in build.prop and here is platform name...
Pioneer is the device, while nile is the platform, which also includes discovery (xa2 ultra)
By the way, when I do getprop ro.product.name and ro.product.device I get H3223 for both which is what I've got
Yep. Now i know. It just made me confused that both XA2 and Ultra (Plus probably too) have platform name and XZ2, Compact and Premium have it's own name each (even if it's the same platform, at least for XZ2 and Compact).

Hey! You remember you from z2
Yea. Still have Z2. And here I'm only visiting. As I like to know what kind software I'm uploading I check at least one per platform. And seeing "nils" when I was expecting to see "pioneer" got me really confused...
Even if I would buy new Xperia it would be Ultra, but just got Mi Max 2. Other are to small for me.
And it's Sony's fault. If they wouldn't create Z Ultra than... I would get Galaxy Note 2 LTE and would blame Samsung for my "condition"
