https://community.sony.rs/t5/xperia-archive/how-long-are-upgrading-the-os/m-p/3407724#M496795 <P>I bought a year ago Z1, at the moment it's a fresh update to Android 5.0.2 There was a question how long Sony practical support their products and in what time frame software updates? I read somewhere that Google contracts with all producers for the fact that they are 3 years to release updates for their products and to extort them fresh rubber android. As this Sonya, how much time they support the OS update.</P> Wed, 12 Aug 2015 04:50:04 GMT Delistrat 2015-08-12T04:50:04Z https://community.sony.rs/t5/xperia-archive/how-long-are-upgrading-the-os/m-p/3407724#M496795 <P>I bought a year ago Z1, at the moment it's a fresh update to Android 5.0.2 There was a question how long Sony practical support their products and in what time frame software updates?

In Sony they are still supporting Xperia Z which is 2.5 years old.</P><P>For your Z1, it;s planned for it to recieve 5.1.1 soon, so it's still supported.</P> Wed, 12 Aug 2015 07:53:29 GMT https://community.sony.rs/t5/xperia-archive/how-long-are-upgrading-the-os/m-p/3407726#M496797 Qatrium 2015-08-12T07:53:29Z
