Guys, where is oreo? - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

What is taking sony so long, did they call it off or something?

You are not very patient, are you? I just came from Samsung to Sony and I've dealt with waiting a long time for firmware updates. The Oreo update blog post came out on August 31, so it's only been under 4 months. And they rolled out the update to the XZ Premium on October 23, so 2 months. It takes a while to roll out firmware updates with their pristine optimization to 10 devices at once.

Android 9 Pie comes to Sony Xperia XZ1 on October 26

Last week the Sony Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact got their Android Pie serving and today the company announced that it's about to add more phones to the list. A trio of former flagships will receive Pie starting October 26 - the Xperia XZ Premium, the Xperia XZ1, and the Xperia XZ1 Compact. Soon Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium will get to join the fun.
Sony said the Xperia XA2, the Xperia XA2 Ultra, and the Xperia XA2 Plus are also bound to receive Android 9 Pie, but owners of the mid-range devices have to wait until March 4, 2019. Until then we are likely to see Xperia XA3 series being announced at CES in Las Vegas or at MWC in Barcelona with the latest Android OS out of the box.
Singapore ETA
This is not official but from my own observations and XperiCheck, Singapore users should get Android 9 (Pie) on around 9 November (2 weeks from initial release).
It is official

How soon do you think that we're getting DRM fix for Pie?
that explains why there was no security patch for october
Thanks SONY!

Can't wait.... Sony really shows that they mean business with this, updating regularly and upgrading fast. Nice move, I am sticking with Sony... But please give me new phones with the mini jack.

Same for me yesterday in France, on an unbranded phone. It must be pushed via OTA by Sony Europe.

How likely is the Huawei MediaPad M5 8 to get Android 10?

What are the chances? I know it released last year and it has been updated to 9.0, here in the UK anyway. But I want to know if it is future proof for at least the next android version. How are Huawei with updates?
My answer is based on someone in the US with a US M5, there is not a snowflakes chance in hell it's getting it. [emoji3]

To get 10 you first need to get 9.

9 is rolled out widely, but in the US. Nevertheless I doubt that we will see Android 10 from Huawei. Lucky are only those who were able to unlock their bootloader as they can use the GS images and will probably have Android 11 and ...
I saw a list of devices getting the emui 10 and only the Mediapad M6 was on it, so highly unlikely the M5 will ever see it.
haha doubt it, mine haven't even been updated to android 9... Never mind 10, its the 4g model... last update was August security patches
It's a great little tablet but still being stuck with 8 (here in the US, anyway) sucks. That lack of continuity among devices (10 on my Pixel 3XL and 4XL) is probably the most frustrating thing about living in the Android ecosystem.
My M5 10 has had official Android 9.1 for quite a while now. My latest security patch is from october this year.
I have read that the M5 Lite 8 has Android 10 available as beta in some zones, although I don't know if the sources are good.

Hi,
can you post the source please?
I have M5 10.8 LTE and I have EMUI9.1 since August 2019 and still received a few day ago security patch october 2019.
I have no insider knowledge on this, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. On one hand Huawei have released a comprehensive list of devices to get 10 and the M5 isn't on it. But on the other hand, Huawei have a reputation to fix after the Trump/Google ban debacle, and the pinned tweet on their UK Twitter account says that they are committed to Android updates for existing devices. It wouldn't surprise me if they extend their 10 rollout just to rebuild their rep.
I inquired Huawei UK regarding EMUI 10 (as I asked specifically for my 8.5 LTE) and the customer support replied regarding the matter and said that "the software should be with you by the end of January (2020)."

No security updates since 6 months

Hello
My device (COL-L29) didn't receive any updates since April, did Huawei stopp updating the device?
I sent to the support but they said that they are testing something.
There's an August 2020 update coming soon. I've got two Honor 10's here, one has already been updated. Officially the Honor 10 has been available for two years in may (released may 2018) and I kind of expected nothing after april/may 2020 as I expected just 2 years of updates.
Anyone here play PubG? The performance getting bad at pubg.. And yeah there's no update after emui 10.1
I doesn't play any games on my device but I format it every two weeks or three to maintain the performance, it's an issue with all android phones

Question Is firmware of Pixel 6 leaked?

Hi. Is firmware files of Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro leaked? I'm guessing review kits already at press. And they should able to get firmware files from CDN or etc.
If there is firmware files it will be awesome for digging it or porting ROM to other devices.
Not yet! No one has units yet....probably not until late August or September.

What can we expect from the new update?
Yeah i think the rumors can be true about that but right now we cannot say anything.
The Pixel 6 is running Android 12, which is live in AOSP. Driver binaries are not yet available but I suspect that will change with the next monthly update.
