If you notice clearly Sony is using network and Wi-Fi icon similar to stock Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM which we earlier reported when the same icons were spotted in Sony’s Facebook, Twitter app for SmartEyeglass screenshots which gave us an initial preview of Sony’s new material design UI, check out the screenshots below.
