Android L 5.0 Release Date & Download: Lollipop Now Rolling Out to Sony Xperia Z2!

The much-awaited Lollipop update is now rolling out to Sony Xperia Z2. The news comes from Android Central which reported that the update has already been received by Z2 users in Nordic and Baltic regions.

GSM Arena said in a separate report that the the Sony Xperia Z2 (with model number D65XX) is getting the Android 5.0.2 version (with build 23.1.A.0.690). The same news outlet said that Sony is "renovating" the Lollipop update of the Xperia Z2 Tablet and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.

Note that this report came less than a day after Sony officially announced that the update is already rolling out on the Z3 and Z3 Compact. Here is Sony's statement:

"UPDATE: First scripts for Android 5.0; Lollipop are now rolling from today for Xperia Z2, Z2 Tablet & Z3 Tablet Compact

We're starting our Android 5.0, Lollipop upgrade from today for Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact.

You'll see the upgrade hit first devices in the Nordics and Baltics, continuing to further markets, for more Xperia Z Series products, starting in around two weeks time - we'll share the latest here, as it happens.

After blending Google's first Lollipop release with our Sony software, some of the goodies include;

-Fresh, streamlined looks - based on Google's material design, but retaining our minimalistic approach to interface and application design

-New look notifications and lock screen - with fully customizable settings, so you only get the information you really need

-Multi user profiles and guest mode - making it easy for family and friends to use your device, or the creation of dual environments for work and play

-Android for Work - not only are business-ready Xperia smartphones and tablets unique devices for work - with waterproof form factors, great battery life and productivity features - they will now also be part of the Android for Work ecosystem

-Better storage control and customisation - with the option to easily move applications from internal memory to SD card - giving you more control over your content, particularly useful for devices with slightly less space."
