Sony's Android 7.0 Nougat updating tour de force officially continues with the Xperia Z5 Compact and Z4 Tablet.

While several Android device manufacturers have named or at least strongly suggested names of phones and tablets due for official 7.0 UI makeovers… eventually, there’s no update deadline as far as a single non-Nexus product is concerned. And we’re not expecting any for a few more weeks. Possibly, even a month or ...

While Android enthusiasts understandably celebrated the highly anticipated public rollout of a final, fully polished 7.0 Nougat build a couple of days ago, it’s important to remember this also marks the beginning of another major struggle.OEMs will now start over-promising and under-delivering, missing their own self-imposed deadlines, snubbing popular, relatively new devices, or worse yet, they’ll stay completely mum ...

Still craving a Sony phone in the US? Still want the Xperia Z5 in 2016?Well, you can get a couple more $20 bills off the phone if you so desire it at Amazon, Best Buy or B&H. The Sony Xperia Z5 is now $499 at Amazon (and an extra 99 cents at the other places), down from its $599.99 it originally launched at and further off from the

Who said public outrage in the form of online complaints, e-petitions and impassioned forum posts doesn’t pay off? Just last month, Amazon yielded to the will of the masses, reconsidering its controversial stance on Fire OS encryption.Meanwhile, HTC appears to be strongly reevaluating its

A number of US mobile employees recently got the pink slip from Sony, as the company continues to bleed money on an unfocused, unsuccessful Xperia strategy, and in quite the ironic twist, one of the proposed solutions to its financial conundrums seems to be… pink phones.Not rose gold, mind you, but rather a “stunning” pink, “perfectly ...

It’s been a solid three weeks since the first “global” reports of Android 6.0 promotions on the Xperia Z5 family came in, and given there was no news of widespread issues during this time, we figured the software goodies had reached the majority of the three phones’ owners worldwide.Unfortunately, some big red flags are now raised on Sony’s support forum and other discussion portals, with user complaints on stability prompting the Japanese OEM to halt the update in at ...

Sony didn’t exactly play all its cards right in terms of US availability for the Xperia Z5 trio, launching the high-end phones a little late, a little pricey and a little crippled. Worse yet, the Xperia X trio entered

Sony sure took its sweet time getting Android 6.0 goodies ready for the fall 2015-released Xperia Z5 smartphone trio, but apparently, that’s because the Japanese company’s software engineers were simultaneously working on updates for a few older devices also.Namely, the previous flagship handheld, the Xperia Z3+, unveiled in May 2015, and the latest jumbo-sized hero, ...

Just as Samsung and LG tend to release software updates for their Android-based devices in Korea first (and Poland, for some reason), then the rest of the world, Sony seems to have finally begun the Xperia Z5 trio’s Marshmallow makeover in Japan.Not just any carrier in the company’s homeland, since NTT DoCoMo comfortably leads in local subscriber numbers, hinting at this OS promotion less than a month back. Hopefully, the polished,

Back in September we saw the release of the Xperia Z5 and its premium 4K model, the Xperia Z5 Premium. While these are both pretty excellent phones they just haven’t seemed to catch the attention of consumers like flagships from other OEMs. This year Sony is going to have to be able to compete with the likes of Samsung with their

Unlike most other Android device manufacturers, Sony tends to work simultaneously on software updates for a host of phones, thus stalling the rollout’s start and refusing to give new flagships preferential treatment.The upside is made obvious in a recent tweet from the company’s British Xperia arm, as the Z5 “series”, Z4 Tablet and Z3+ might all receive over-the-air Marshmallow goodies beginning March 7. Granted, we still expect small gaps between deliveries of 6.0 enhancement packages for those products, as well as traditional distribution in so-called waves.But chances are

Sony just brought last year’s Xperia Z5 to US shoppers, as multiple retailers opened sales one week ago. And while we’re always happy to see Sony bringing its far-too-hard-to-come-by phones to more and more consumers, the Z5’s US debut felt a little wrong in more ways than one. First, we’re looking at a phone that launched all the way back at the end last summer – so even if sales are only starting now, the hardware’s not exactly fresh. And for the US market, Sony even ...
