CES 2015: Android 5.0 Rolling Out to Entire Xperia Z Series Next Month

Android Lollipop 5.0 will roll out to the entire Xperia Z series starting globally next month, Sony announced during its CES 2015 keynote today.
Z series devices include Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1S, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact

Sony revealed last month via Twitter that Lollipop will roll out to core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 devices at the beginning of 2015, but did not mention other handset models at the time.
While it appeared in testing phases a few weeks prior, select Motorola smartphone models were one of the first to receive the final build of the Android 5.0 update in mid-November, with Over the Air updates rolling out to Nexus devices later that month. The update has since rolled out to various other devices.
Lollipop introduces a slew of new features to Android devices, such as Google's new Material Design aesthetic and new notification options. However, some users began reporting bugs with the update, such as apps restarting in the background and Wi-Fi connectivity issues.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, Android Pit reports that Lollipop 5.1 is scheduled for a February roll out to some devices before its full release in June or July. The update will reportedly address the issues that some users are experiencing with 5.0, including:
  • - Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
  • - General improvements in system stability
  • - Improved RAM management
  • - Fixes for sudden app closures
  • - Improved battery management
  • - Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
  • - Issues with wireless connections fixed
  • - Problems with Okay Google function solved
  • - Notifications problems solved
  • - Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
  • - Other improvements and changes
  • - Changes in the Material Design color palette (after users complaints, possibly for a higher version though)
