I'm curious if there will be builds for the Xperia Z5 Compact from Sailfish OS. There are some older news on the net that Jolla and Sony want to bring Sailfish to Xperia devices.

not for z5 series for sure.. they drop the updates on z5's
(i chased them for months on Sony Talk forum (official) and customer support on the phone
because so many bugs on my version of Z5C (each state got a bit different version)
but some of the bugs are the same
long story short, no new builds or updates from sony to z5's anymore
There are news from February 2017 that Jolla and Sony plan to bring Sailfish OS to Xperia devices.

Sailfish OS is coming to the Xperia X about the end of September. Perhaps we can hope for more supported devices in future.

Support for more devices, sure, but I wouldn't hold my breath for older devices, with the Xperia X as a baseline.

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

Let them take their time, maybe they'll make the update worth the wait. In the meanwhile, enjoy AOKP 4.4
..which is the most popular/best supported by Cyanogenmod devs?
The Moto X has way more custom ROMs than the Z1 Compact but the Z1 Compact became available this January and the Moto X, August 2013. Anyways I'm pretty sure more Z1 Compact ROMs will pop up soon since Sony is a very popular manufacturer. If you're deciding which phone to get, I would suggest you the Z1 Compact.

I think the Sony is a better phone anyway, so that's good news.
Are there any good ways to judge how well supported a phone is/isl likely to be supported on CM, apart from asking around on forums? It would be useful if there was some kind of index based on numbers of recent updates, forums posts etc.

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!!

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

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
A few days ago we have been informed that Xperia Z series replaced with New Xperia "X" series. Now Sony confirmed Xperia M series and Xperia C series is No more. Xperia X will be the mainstay for Sony.
From Xperiablog:
Word coming out from the Asian tech media is that not only has Sony ended the Xperia Z series, apparently the Xperia C and Xperia M series have also been cancelled. This means that Sony may exclusively use the Xperia X as a single brand to push all future handsets. This would tie in with our recent report that the rumoured ‘Xperia C6 Ultra’ may in fact arrive as the ‘Xperia X Ultra’.
Sony Mobile presentations appear to show that the Xperia X series marks Sony’s ‘Chapter 3’. Chapter 1 was between 2010-12 and was about the “open OS for web communication”, with the key highlight being the Sony Android phone that started it all – the Xperia X10. Chapter 2 took place between 2013-15 and was about the “best of Sony” highlighted by the Xperia Z series.
Now chapter 3 will take place between 2016-18 and marks “Xperia for new communication”. This is marked by ‘Xperia X’ as a new visual identity for Sony’s brand communication. The new ‘X’ logo will be used in all promotional print and TV advertising.
To be clear to readers, there will be no compromise in Sony creating a flagship phone. So just because there is no Xperia Z series, future flagship phones will carry on via the Xperia X range, with no compromise in specifications. Obviously what remains to be seen is how Sony will cleanly name all of the various handsets under just one brand, especially if Sony plans to use this over three years. But we’re sure Sony has thought of that…

Yes, I feel this is a great decision by Sony, focusing on a few products is much better than focusing more. They are keeping also mid-range as well as flagship products within the X series. So it won't be a problem for the buyers. Policy looks similar with iPhone.
Sony is no more for me if my M4 has had his time or if i can trade it in. For Sony's sake and all future costumers i hope the get there software updates sorted with this new approach.
Sony does the right thing
Unfortunately, SONY will not take too much of the M series, and that all users know. So it is better to have few terminals in a single series, but has better support.
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.

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!

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.
