Since sony seem to release a flagship each 6 months.. what is the support expiration for the z2? can we expect getting at least 2 years support?
Depends on what you mean by support? I'd hope we'll see support for new Android versions for at least another 18 months, but I suppose it depends if Google move to x64 for Android M .

at least 18 month..... heh... wishful thinking.
Z got just 12 moths of android updates.
Z2 will get "L", no doubt about it. Don't think we will see "M" on our Z2 officially (even if the hardware allows).
Xperia Z launched March 2013 latest official update (4.4.2) May 2014 and Xperia blog has it that 4.4.4 is on its way.
18 months official support
ends in mid october 2015 as noted by sony customer support
-may be stretched if the device is popular

Hello!According to my observation,note3,s4,lg g2,htc one have updated version4.4,but sony z1 and z ultra haven't.Why?SONY has fallen behind.Although,z ultra has many 4.4 ROMs,they are native andriod ROMs,which hasn't unique places.
According to me, it should happen after the announcement of Z2 (Sirius) at the upcoming MWC

Let them take their time, maybe they'll make the update worth the wait. In the meanwhile, enjoy AOKP 4.4
It’s unfortunate Samsung decided to leave their flagship smartphone out of the fun with Android P beta.
Do you think we will see an unofficial Android P beta any time soon. There was a story about a device receiving a unofficial build with DP1, what are the chances? Any developers working on it

I would not expect to see it unless you are on the Exynos version. And even then.... Prolly not.
Forget about it. As in the past: You will receive Android 9 from Sammy after 9.1 will be released by Google. Final version of P will be released together with Pixel 3, so I speculate that nothing will happen until 03/2019...
Probably have a better chance at winning the lottery lol
I think end of October some CSC will get a beta P test,like on S7 and on S8.
Final version mid or end of Q1 2019.
I would assume if it says "beta" in it we wouldn't get it until it's a final version at least.
I have it (android P) on my Pixel 2 and have to say, meh...nothing special. Horisontal recent apps are harder to handle, more colorful, clock on left side. Only good things are new font and turn phone face down to do not disturb auto. Stick to 8.0 on sammy and enjoy

end of the year maybe, don't think they clarified it at the release con
all it seems is they want the gpu turbo feature on before even looking
the uk support team confirmed that there is an update due out in the week coming but they would tell me if its the previous waiting one or possible this one
Last week the Sony Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact got their Android Pie serving and today the company announced that it's about to add more phones to the list. A trio of former flagships will receive Pie starting October 26 - the Xperia XZ Premium, the Xperia XZ1, and the Xperia XZ1 Compact. Soon Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium will get to join the fun.
Sony said the Xperia XA2, the Xperia XA2 Ultra, and the Xperia XA2 Plus are also bound to receive Android 9 Pie, but owners of the mid-range devices have to wait until March 4, 2019. Until then we are likely to see Xperia XA3 series being announced at CES in Las Vegas or at MWC in Barcelona with the latest Android OS out of the box.
Singapore ETA
This is not official but from my own observations and XperiCheck, Singapore users should get Android 9 (Pie) on around 9 November (2 weeks from initial release).
It is official

How soon do you think that we're getting DRM fix for Pie?
that explains why there was no security patch for october
Thanks SONY!

Will XZ1 get Android 10 (Q)?
because the rest of the past years received 2 major updates, already xz1, received only 1
Maybe Yes Or Maybe No
We waiting for Sony road-map / plan for the update.
I think in next week or after
The update according to Google support will be released on September 3.
Let's wait and see.
Android 10 released but still nothing.
Unfortunately, it seems that XZ1 will not get Android 10. Update will start from XZ2 onwards (+XZ3 + 10 + 1).
It seems impossible to me that a phone with 4GB RAM would not get an update. Must get it and that's it.

Disgusting move from that sinking ship.

Been a Sony fan for years, from Xperia Z3 till now, but the company's police about update really sucks. Like with SW50 smartwatch, not updatet to wear 2.0. XZ1 definitely my last Sony device. :sad
Same here. Been a fan for 15 years. XZ1C is my last one from Sony. They're just lagging to much behind. And one update? really? shame, just shame.

The site explicitly states that, in the XZ series, security updates are currently only being provided for the XZ2 and newer.
XZ1 will no longer receive any updates.
