SonyXperiaZ3Compact-Back

Android 5.0 Lollipop has arrived for owners of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, although at this stage it appears to be limited to those who bought the handset outright from Sony Experience stores or the like. Former Ausdroid writer Michaela got in touch with us to let us know about the update, and was kind enough to take some screenshots to show us what the new update looks like.

Unlike previous OTA updates for Sony’s handsets, the Xperia Z3 Compact update to Lollipop required a PC to download the new software and apply it to the handset, though the process was reportedly easy and fast enough for it not to be an issue.

Anyhow, take a look at how Lollipop looks on Sony’s baby flagship, and let us know in the comments if you’ve received the update as yet:

Now we just have to wait for the update to pass carrier certification, and for the bigger brother Xperia Z3 to receive the same update and carrier certification. It might be a little wait yet.
