So after relase Z2 i think about that it has the same hardware like Z1 and maybe it is possible to install Z2 system on our Z1?
Sorry, my English is poor
It not has the same Hardware! but many Features will be ported to Z1, same like the Z running ported stuff from Z1. Z2 was not released yet and before we see some porting you have wait long time. Now it's just a waste of time speaking about that. Z2 will be, maybe, on market this summer, then all will be ported to Z1 for the end of this year or early 2015.

only thing I read different about z2 is 4k recording and that's it, we may get it since our camera may be capable but not sure
logically, I think Z1 is possible to port the Android L on it, as Nexus 5 also get the Snapdragon 800, so the driver should basically the same
then, we can try to port it to Android L?
Sorry, if you think I am a noob to ask such question
it is just a random question

It could be ported but not on locked bootloader.
For unlocked bootloader you just need a good developer and that shouldn't be a problem.

Well....using that, released version won't be possible.
There must be some serious modifications and changes to boot that.
New kernel and drivers and many things...
It'll never be Android 5, it'll be modified 4.4.4 or whatever will be the latest build...

do you think Z1 update end @4.4.4?
As Sony show us the 4.4.4 update just after Nexus

I, absolutely, do not.
Z1 will get 5.0 that's for sure...
Not only 5.0, I pretty sure we'll see few more versions (5.x.x) after that.
Z1 isn't XS and it has a lot "support time" in front of it...
I know I won't sell it
Sony started to release updates quicker than ever before and I'm very satisfied with them now...
Z2 should get 4.4.4 as well but Sony finally admit heating problem (camera related heating, sometimes even overheating with camera FC) so they are fixing that and Z2 will get 4.4.4 as well..
But...even Sony is faster now with updates and we saw Google finished (or almost finished) Android v5.0 I really doubt it'll be on our devices before autumn...
Sony must work on UI and change it, or change some things in/on it so thet will need a time...
My guess would be:
October - releasing Z3 powered by L
End of November - upgrading Z1/Z2 and maybe even Z (even I doubt that) to L
If rumors are correct and snapdragon 801 will be heart of Z3 they will need new OS to sell it
Same screen, same RAM, same chipset.... They need something new

you wont sell it, and you also have Z2
I guess Z1 is the Lab Rat of Android 4.4.4 for Z2, if heating problem got totally solved in Z1, then Z2 will release 4.4.4 very soon
for the L, I guess will be 2 months after IFA Z3 release,
I checked online Z3 is using S801 AC,but screen have some changes, and I guess if we are lucky enough that Sony would give out their trump card which is curved camera sensor. I hope we will really see killer of Lumia 1020 or 808

I realized that it's better to leave it.
I can't get "good money" for it so I decided to keep it.
My wife is using it and she loves it...
She was always saying it's ridiculous to wear brick in a pocket but when she took Z1 just for one afternoon I couldn't take it back from here anymore
It wasn't cheap to keep both devices but Z1 is just 9 month old device and I don't want to sell it for 300$...

I believe all three phones will be getting the newest android update, the Z1 and compact are no slouches and a hardware limitation can't be called as the 800 is literally an underclocked 801 afaik and with android attempting to get lighter and lighter, save some feature which needs to have a hardware counterpart, i can see no reason why the z1 and so forth shouldn't get the update and even the one after that, not sure what that'll be called (MiniRoll maybe )
There's life in the old dog yet.
Could see a port getting done, but it'll more than likely never have everything functional, so you'll be trading off a lot of the stability and features you now have on stock / modded Z1 firmwares, the camera for example would be an issue, interesting to see it in action but I'd more than likely revert back to stock to gain full functionality again.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Will we also receive such developer preview? Specs ARR quite similar...

Arrr to you too matey!
As for the preview: It appears to be a possibility. Keep in mind however that while the phones appears near identical, in the end they are not. Just as the Z2 and de Z3 are near identical, and the Z2 didn't receive the Marshmallow Concept treatment where as the Z3 did.
TBH N Developer Preview for Xperia Z3 might be a good sign as the Android N may appear for our phones too! Aaaaaand probably as the last update ever coming to our phones...
Juat wait, the first time lollipop concept released it only available on Z3 but later on Z3 Compact also get it.
How about Mm? Haha. My sony like nexus

Hey guys!
So there is Android N preview available for the z3. Anyone knows how to get the sources without a z3 and how to get it on a z3c?
Hardware is basically the same so it shouldn't be that big of a problem, should it?
I am more than willing to try it with my basic knowledge and phone but so far the only way i found to get the android n version for the z3 would be with a z3 and sony xperia companion :/
I have just started messing with Android and my phone again so correct me if i am wrong
Edit: Nevermind, found it in the z3 subsection I am now off bricking my phone XD
Cheers
One I misspelled the rom, and I put z3 rom on z3c and it got bootlooped, so probably it is not the same hardware

Different kernels mate, you will always get bootloops
i read somewhere that you can get the z3c software the same way as for the z3. connect the z3c and use repair function while holding a button
As far as i get it android n preview is only available for z3 officially. Will set up an windows environment in the next days and check anyways

I love my Z3c and I hope than Sony or someone else will make a ROM *.*
I think if will be released only for Z3, it will be possible to port to Z3C in future. So is not a thing to hurry. Recently we got a Marshmallow with some bugs, so N preview by now is something unnecessary because probably will be unstable and with much more bugs than MM (althrough would be cool to test).
There is a port for the Z2 of the Z3 android N. Hope in a port for the Z3c too
Hey guys,
when do you expect Android Pie to be released for the XZ1C?
I know for a fact that they will prioritize the XZ2C and that XZ3C will probably be released on Pie so what do you think?
I think that they won't release Pie for XZ1C at all.
All hope in LineageOS
+1
There's not even any rumours of us getting 8.1, so it seems unlikely we'll be on the P list

Seeing as the XZ1 range is less than a year old, I am pretty sure that we will get P. I don't see skipping 8.1 as an indicator, if Sony decides there isn't enough improvements over 8.0 that justify the effort, why bother?
Wouldn't hold my breath for a release before christmas though.
After beeing loyal to Sony since my Xperia X8 (Xperia T, Xperia Play, Z1c, Z3c, Z5c and now XZ1c) all I can do is to say: We wont get an offical release, no way.
I hope they give us the pie very soon, the xz1 it's the a flagship so they must don't forget about us. There's the xz2 and then xz1 so they should give the pie at same time like Google does

My device history is very similar to yours (Xperia T, Z1C, Z3C, XZ1C), which is why I don't understand your reasoning. The Z1C for example was shipped with JB at launch, and received official KK and LP (both 5.0 and 5.1). The Z3C was released with KK and received updates to both LP and MM.

XZ3 is in the pipeline, XZ2 is already released and XZ1 doesn't get too much attention in my opinion.
The only thing thats strange is that they keep releasing updates to the latest patch level. But I still wont believe that we'll get Pie until they really release it

I hope they give attention, it has top line specs and it was released with oreo
Saw this after Googling: https://www.androidauthority.com/so...et-software-upgrades-two-years-launch-834758/
I'm really hoping to get some mileage out of this phone but we'll see if Sony will support their premium customers.
LOL guys, of course we will get Android 9. Not getting it makes no sense. Sony provides always 2 major updates for Hi end devices.
All my past Xperia devices had at least 2 major OS updates. The exception being the Xperia SX, which only had 1. XZ1 series must at least have 1 major update.
Two major updates? So the XZ1C will get Android Q as well? Well that's good to hear
XZ1C has Project Treble support, so it's probably a lot easier for Sony to release a major update compared to pre-Treble phones, which from my experience generally enjoyed phenomenal upgrades compared to the competition. Well, the flagships at least, can't say the same for their mid-range models.
Anyway, I'm pretty optimistic that we'll get to P and beyond, but from what I've seen so far of 9.0... no thanks, not interested.

Rooting my phone means I opted out of the obligatory updates.
My experience with updates of OS that are different from the one released with the phone is that they are clunky, power hungry amd sometimes broken.
Despite what Google promise with battery savings, it'll still end up thirstier than 8.
What are you talking about OP? We will deffo get Android Pie and probably Android 10 T (Toblerone or sthg)
