Sony Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1, and XZ1 Compact get Android Pie update
July 13, 2025
Sony is rolling out theAndroid Pieupdate to theXperia XZ Premium,Xperia XZ1, andXperia XZ1 Compact. The news arrived viaXperia Blogover the weekend and several users have since confirmed they’ve received the update in the comments.
The update comes with build number 47.2.A.0.306 and the October 1 security patches, but it’s not clear where exactly it’s rolling out (Vietnam and Singapore have been suggested by commenters; feel free to let us know which region you’re in if you’ve received it). The download package comes in at more than 2.5GB.
As well as the anticipated Android Pie improvements (which you can read about in ourAndroid Pie review), Sony has rolled out a new camera interface — complete with 960fps super slo-mo at 1080p — HDR video enhancement, and (apparently) a selfie camera display flash.
However, Sony has not includedAndroid Pie’s gesture controls. This may disappoint some fans, though Sony may be trying to place it safe seeing as this isn’t a universally appreciated feature.
It’s good to see Sony update its second-tier devices (it alreadyupdated its latest flagshipsback in October) before many other OEMs have managed to even get their first updates out the door. The company has beennailing the third-party update racefor a while now, it’s just a shame that it’sstruggling to sell its mobile products.
Look out for this update to hit your device in the coming days and weeks, and to see the rest of the phones onSony’s Android Pie update schedule, hit the link.
