Android N - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks, this is a gossip and rumours place for the upcoming android n (7).
I've recently read an article that the z3 just got the preview directly via Google/Sony: http://www.itpro.co.uk/android/2620...es-daydream-vr-and-vulkan-graphics-are-coming
Does anyone have more detailed information on the plans of the two companies on whether to roll it out to z5 series as well?
Cheers

Whats this Sony Crystal Tablet?

Hi Guys,
Whats this Sony Crystal tablet, another name for Sony S or its something else??
Check below link to read the article:
Sony ‘Crystal’ Tablet releasing February 18th?
Afaik it's just the 3G version of the Tablet S for the US market.
I'm guessing it's the 3g tablet s. If Sony had something brand new coming out that soon, I think they would have shown it at CES, whch occured earlier this month
I was in CES and Sony is launching a new technology of display calling "cryatal LCD/LED display", but it is used in TV. Maybe it will be used in next generation tablet.

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

Umidigi seem pretty bad for updates. What's the point in releasing such a relatively good spec mobile and then providing its user base no updates whatsoever. I already complained to Umidigi on a email, Youtube and on Twitter, effectively asking is this what's to be expected for the Umidigi Z2 Pro users who invest in their product and as to be expected I received zero response.
I probably should have bought a Xiaomi instead.

Android 10 on xz1

Will XZ1 get Android 10 (Q)?
because the rest of the past years received 2 major updates, already xz1, received only 1
Maybe Yes Or Maybe No
We waiting for Sony road-map / plan for the update.
I think in next week or after
The update according to Google support will be released on September 3.
Let's wait and see.
Android 10 released but still nothing.
Unfortunately, it seems that XZ1 will not get Android 10. Update will start from XZ2 onwards (+XZ3 + 10 + 1).
It seems impossible to me that a phone with 4GB RAM would not get an update. Must get it and that's it.

No andorid 10 for Sony XZ1/XZP/XZ1C
Disgusting move from that sinking ship.

Been a Sony fan for years, from Xperia Z3 till now, but the company's police about update really sucks. Like with SW50 smartwatch, not updatet to wear 2.0. XZ1 definitely my last Sony device. :sad
Same here. Been a fan for 15 years. XZ1C is my last one from Sony. They're just lagging to much behind. And one update? really? shame, just shame.
Let´s try to change it! We want Android 10 on our devices!

Found a petition - not sure if that helps, but it worked in M2's case, so probably worth a try:

The site explicitly states that, in the XZ series, security updates are currently only being provided for the XZ2 and newer.
XZ1 will no longer receive any updates.
