Soft charging support

Hello, 

Can Sony make an update for the Z5 series to put soft charging like the beta series to increase the battery life last longer for the older models? Like the latest X series they have Qnovo charging which help to make the battery life increase and maybe can it be done for the Z5 series?

If this is implemented now, I doubt it'll make much difference for a phone that has been used for several charging cycles.

Yes, it will. I just want to see the software developer reply on my suggestion to this update. I hope that it'll happen.
