Yes please, Im using the sony concept on my z3 compact phone and its amazing, its amazingly fast, and the feature I am waiting so much is adoptive storage, I have a 64gb micro sd on my tablet but since the 16gb internal fill up so much its pretty much useless to have a micro sd, on my phone on the other hand with android 6.0, it takes the micro sd and the internal storage as one partition, so I dont have to worry about moving any file, and as far as android goes, I have 70gb of storage , I NEED THIS ON MY TABLET NOW!!

Yep only thing im intetested in with marshmallow is the storage improvement. I have a 128gb and 200 gb card waiting but suspect the 128gb is the max for this device.

Sony is slated to release Android 6.0 Marshmallow upgrade to Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact in a few weeks' time.

same here, only got 5.0 update notification.
(I am still in 4.4.4, 23.0.1.A.0.167)

Still waiting Sony......

Still waiting. Early-mid March. Xperia Z3 Compact Tab SGP621. Heck, I didn't even get the 23.4.A.1.264 update.

dudes i have PERFECT results as concern speed and battery with stock KK and this fully debloating script http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/kk-debloating-script-xperia-phones-t3192846.I have more than 10 hours screen on time with browsing internet.I am not an expert but from what i read about android 6,i don't believe that it will be more stable from KK.Basically i believe no-one OS till now is better from KK.And don't forget that 34% from all android devices run KK.Also if you have root like me,you can easilly customize your rom to add android M features

Anybody test if the new beta is aviable for our device? I can't because I have KK, like the guy above say the battery in KK is the best!

Doesn't look like the Tablet gets the beta.
Just have to wait
(But it works great on lollipop too, maybe better on kitkat, but I never used it on KK).
On the Z5 on the other hand, lollipop was lollipoo.

Its ridiculous we almost at April and we still dont have MM on Z3tc...
I have some bugs on my device probably fixed with 6.0.... Sony is the worst to release updates. =/

I know it supersucks because we and the z2 tablet are the only ones who don't have MM, z5 have it and Z3 and z2 users have the concept since December and now the beta... But us NOTHING, The Z3 line all have the same processor, the EXACT model, is that hard to make available the concept for us??.... .....

The whole Sony tablet phone is not bad to the ones are not super into especific stuff, but about updates and that Sony sucks a lot.
For me is the last thing Sony I will buy tablet or phone atm

what will you do more with MM?
This tablet runs better than every MM tablet ...
Anyway I have Samusng and Sony smartphones and they get MM togheter in march but for example Nexus got MM before: it crashed, drained battery and it seemed a crash test of the new Android version...I prefer a better device with a better software, also if the software is older labeled but play more things than newer

When does z ultra update android4.4?

Hello!According to my observation,note3,s4,lg g2,htc one have updated version4.4,but sony z1 and z ultra haven't.Why?SONY has fallen behind.Although,z ultra has many 4.4 ROMs,they are native andriod ROMs,which hasn't unique places.
According to me, it should happen after the announcement of Z2 (Sirius) at the upcoming MWC

xperia Z2 vs M4 aqua Regarding GPU?

Hello i like to know whether any Game lags on the Z2 and when will Z2 GPU become obsolete sort of?
I want to buy a used z2 or m4 aqua. M4 aqua white really makes me love it.
I know the m4 heats and games lag on it.
So what should i buy OLD z2 or brand new M4 aqua?
I hope the device wont break for atleast 1 year as well.

if I were you I'd buy the Z2 because it had better specs, and maybe it'll have longer update support than M4, because it's a Z series flagship model. but if you like the white M4, then buy a white Z3, it has the same specs as Z2, and has similar housing to M4. the Z2, Z3 have 3gb ram, the M4 have just 2gb, so the Z2 and Z3 are faster than M4, and they also have bigger battery than M4.
Thanks for the reply.
Hello does any game lags on the Z2? I mean it has a 2 year old GPU?
Is there anything i should know when buying an Old Z2?

2 year old Z2 is a better than newer phones. It was a flagship phone bro, with a big LED and big 3200 mAh battery and 3gb RAM. The only department were the Z2 suffers is from only 16gb internal memory.
So another question will the xperia Z2 and xperia Z3 get android N in 2017?

I think they will get it. They're flagship models and Z2 is just a 1 and half year old model. The Z get updates as a 2 and half years model

About 5.1 update for M4 Aqua

After seeing Xperia C4,Xperia C5 Ultra and now Xperia M5 got android 5.1 update out of the nowhere should we expect it on M4 soon?
Those phones should skip 5.1 and go directly ti 6.0 but Sony changed their minds...
Only M4 left on 5.0 for now...
Keep in mind that c4, c5 and m5 use same mediatek chipset so once 5.1 came for c4 it was matter of time to appear also for c5 and m5. Our M4 aqua uses qualcomm chipset so i do not expect 5.1 for it. It should be easier for sony to get 6.0 working on the qualcomm than on mediatek so i think that we will get directly 6.0 while c4, c5 and m5 will get it later than us and that's why sony released 5.1 for these models to calm down the owners. We will see.
End of february beginning of March for marshmallow on m4 aqua

Where did you get this information from?
Official the S6 and S6 edge will get 6.0 february/march. And for the M4 it says first quarter, so it's more likely end of march or second quarter
Never seen any real date for any Sony Xperia phones and marshmallow, so a month time for M4 is very unlikely. First of they need to roll it on z5 series, then the rest of the z series. And lastly on other Xperia models... I hope we get 6.0 before summer.

Also, people can get very anxious about UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE, but have you seen what's in these updates? Barely anything, from what I can see. Even the major updates from 5.0 to 6.0. How much of it is visible to the consumer?
Bug fixes (don't care)
developer tools (don't care, not releveant),
driver updates (don't care)
oh and they fixed the sound toggles that they broke in 5.0 that nobody liked. Wow, thanks!
zzzzzzzz
When Android 10.0 comes out call me. Maybe there'll be something new.
In M4's case, we will get a possibility to use SD card as a phone memory, and considering the lack of space this phone has, marshmallow is a big thing...

Thats the main point of the #M46.0HYPETRAIN thing. We are all waiting for that!
I believe we will get after April.
Or faster we have stable custom rom(cm 13, AOSP)
Wysłane z mojego E2303 przy użyciu Tapatalka
In XperiFirm i see that there is a new firmware released for Denmark, Nordic and Baltic (E2303) 26.1.A3.93. Going by the number looks like the firmware could be 5.1.
has any one got the update, can any one confirm.
It's not 5.1. It is still 5.0, but my phone got 300mb extra free space. They have removed something. Haven't found what it is yet.
My FW is 26.1.A.3.92. Upgraded this morning through Xperia companion.

I have the north American 16GB version.
- SD card as expanded internal memory (I don't care).
And I'm a consumer. Of course I get to evaluate the $300 products I buy and their support. "crappy post" doesn't make sense.

If it isn't relevant to you, why comment? There are always bug fixes and security fixes that do matter to a lot of people, whether you include yourself in that group or not is a moot point.

Why did I comment? Go back to the first post. The first post talks about ETAs for arrival of the next major Android update. The entire point of my comment, which you've apparently missed, was that I'm not convinced by anything I've read about the update that is a significant improvement from the customer standpoint, so I'm relaxed about the ETA. My point is valid, even if it's different to your's, or just because you don't understand. Moot that. There's nothing more useful for me in this thread so it's my final comment to you.

Thanks for yours opinion, i'm searching for phablet and i considered z ultra because of the cost/ size, but the internal memory of 16gb i think it's too small and if the z ultra receive cm13 i can assign the sdcard as internal memory natively.
but after lots of research i don't found if the z ultra is going to receive cm13.

Is an Ultra Z still applicable in 2017?

Continuation of the 2014 thread.
OK, I'll chime in. Just short of paying $1K for the new Note 8, I'd say the Z Ultra still holds its own.
Yup , Z ultra is my dailly driver for almost every thing , amazing battery and running KK, Aosp MM , lollipop , marshmellow and Noughat almost every thing , I bet it will run Oreo as well , coz of its powerful hardware ... if by any mean we will get the binaries and some devs who are still working on building .for this amazing machine..

I can ask you a tip ...
I had this terminal just came out, but then I sold it, now I bought it back, and as soon as I got installed a number of roms, but in all the roms I tried the battery convinces me. I changed the battery, but I think but I do not think the situation is combiata.
What rom you use?
Anyone still using Sony ultra z in Nvember 2020? I got myself a Huawei mate pro30 - like its speed , camera and the fact I can install as many applications that I like without worrying for its storage space and memory. Yet scrolling Facebook just on it just made me missed my Sony ultra z - I miss the big screen and the Xperia Chinese keyboard which offers t9 English keyboard and ability to write Chinese on it. I bought Huawei mate30¤ pro as it's half its original retail price and the fact of it has 5G option makes it an easy ( but regrettable decision)...

Yeah, still using it, for the same purpose I purchased it back in 2014. With OruxMaps it gives a great Bicyle GPS. It is easy & Cheap to repair (Battery, Screen, all easy to get) and I even bought a second one as backup. Latest Android 5 updates were supplied from this forum until end of last year - what more can you expect? Further Software updated would be great, but it will even continue to work without...
