Sony announce update schedule for Jelly Bean 4.3 and KitKat

Sony have come under heavy fire in the past for not providing updates to its Android phones, but the release of its update schedule will come as pleasant reading to many Sony owners.

Android Jelly Bean 4.3 will be rolled-out in December to the following devices:

After that’s complete the roll-out of KitKat 4.4 will start to, what Sony call, the “first raft” of devices:

Xperia ZXperia ZLXperia Tablet ZXperia Z UltraXperia Z1
