Google SVP Sundar Pichai has just announced Android L developer preview at Google I/O 2014 event. Android L is the name for developer preview i.e. SDK will be available for developers only for the time being to build apps while the next version of android OS will be launched later. Final android L release date and name is still not mentioned by Google.
Many new things like redesigned UI with more lively animations, Android Runtime getting default runtime in next android release, Project Volta coming as improved battery saving feature and a batter way to handle push notifications now even through lockscreen is seen. Android L release running was also shown live on LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live.
Xperia Phones with Android L update
Android L developer preview will be available for download on 26 June via Google Android Developer site. HTC has already promised to give Android L update to HTC M8 and M7 within 90 days of Android L code getting released to OEMs. In all these scenarios where do Sony Xperia devices stand ?
So how long this time we have to wait till Sony comes up with official statement on android L update release timings.
As Android 4.4.2 KitKat is still under investigation for Xperia devices like Xperia SP, L, M, C; we have a doubt that Sony may not release android L update for them ( even for Xperia E1 ).
What we can expect is that as CyanogenMod and FXP team have already come up with android 4.4.2 ( i.e. CM 11 ) build ROMs, so soon we will be seeing android L ROMs for Xperia devices also ?
What do you think guys which Xperia devices will get Android L release update. Let us know. Drop your comments below.

Z2 & Z1 will receive the update for sure! But not so sure about the older handsets.
The question is how long will Sony take to push the updates globally.
The z2 i think will definitely receive it also the z1, not too sure on the z but i didn’t think Sony would give it 4.4.2 so i think z2, z2 tablet, z1, z1 compact, m2, t3
No hope for my xperia m
Notified me when update come for Xperia c 4.4.2
Hoping for the xperia z1s
What a joke .. people are waiting 4.4.2 still which is release long back but not received even after 2 months.
It will be better not to talk about any further updates of z series especially 2013 models.
because this gives false signals who are buying these phones and they will suffer end of the day by not getting update.
Well, i do not think that the Z1 will get Android L.
I am on a rooted Z1 now and guess that it will be unlocked for a CM firmware if it is not coming to Z1.
Do not think of it as a biggy because of the fact that the Z1 is a awesome phone.
I’m really hoping sony will release one for z ultra!
Great to see M2 in the list.
Aman but is is only an expected list, nothing official from sony.
The t2 ultra has to get it
i didn’t recieved the kitkat update.i’m from india.
my xperia zr didn’t show any notification about the kitkat update..
i contacted to sony mobile,they said that “they will soon release the update and it depends upon the imei no. of my mobile..
my mobile was already replaced.due to camera occured by immersed into water(i didn’t explains my problem briefly).
anuraj please reply for me….
when i will get kitkat update..
No word about that from Sony yet?
Xperia M got 4.3 update.Why not xperia C.
With the Ultra Google Play edition now selling for $350 I’m tempted. But fear that with Sony and Google no longer selling the device, they might not update it to Android L either. But you seem confident they will, so I might just pull the trigger and get it!
Hey we would like to clarify that we hope to be sure that Sony will update Xperia Z Ultra on Android L or on future updates
But
About Google Play Edition Z Ultra, as Google removed it from Play Store now the Doubt is prevailing over our this device’s future updates.
its shame on sony it keeps on concentrating high end devices even though support is going to end for xperia z by aug 2014 its still updating its device to 4.4.4 and android L whereas midrange devices like M,L,C are stuck at jellybean.Sony is worst in all aspects.
Aleee utooo
it is sure that xperia z, z ultra, z1, z1compact, and xperia z2 will receive android L (5.0)
Really hope the M2 get’s the Android L update as the device isn’t even a year old, so hopefully the device gets the update.
what about my w995? I want an update too!
Sony pls release this fucking android 5.0 update for my sonyericsson w995 and it has ARM11 369MHz
Ich frag mich ob das Sony Xperia M2 ein Update bekommt… Das wär echt prima…
ZR will get android L update, its confirmed now .
