A new rumor has pegged the Sony Xperia Z1 and ZU to be getting the Android 4.4 KitKat update on the 7th of November.
This is a little surprising as both Z devices currently run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. so I think it would be wise to take this rumor with a pinch of salt. Android 4.4 is close to being officially announced, but it’s almost impossible to predict when Sony will roll out the update to their devices.
The only logical explanation for me would be if Sony decides to skip the Android 4.3 update entirely to make the jump to 4.4...
However the more likely... Sony updating our devices to 4.3. or perhaps 4.3.1 in November...
Quote from Sony Xperia Blog :
"The likelihood is that the flagship Xperia Z series will see the update to Android 4.3 before the Xperia SP, so we may end up seeing the v4.3 update land even before December."
maybe Sony will bestow us a early Christmas present :angel:
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

I will drink a beer (or something stronger) if it happens
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!

Is the night mode added with Android 9?

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.

No andorid 10 for Sony XZ1/XZP/XZ1C
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.
Let´s try to change it! We want Android 10 on our devices!

Found a petition - not sure if that helps, but it worked in M2's case, so probably worth a try:

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.
I just saw that the Xperia 5 got firmwares 55.2.A.4.191 and 55.2.A.4.229, Xperia 1 is still at 55.2.A.4.154, does anybody know why?
maythey just checked out @ Sony they improve or fix nothing with there update's
Because Xperia 1 is already out for 2 years and no longer maintained. Xperia 5 hasn't reached 2 years yet.
but just 2 month to go for the X 5 lol
Two years and not even security updates? Mine says May 2021.
Sonyyyyyyyy Don't abandon flagships. !!!!!
