While other companies are expanding the support period and number of OS updates, Sony’s Xperia smartphone still maintains two basic OS updates and three security updates.
Especially when it comes to the Softbank version of Xperia, I often hear people complaining that the OS has only been updated once.
In fact, in the past, there was a case where the Softbank version received only one OS update, even though other carriers’ Xperias received two OS updates.
So this time, I would like to track the “recent” situation since Xperia’s naming became numerical (that is, Xperia 1, 5, 10 and later).
Number of past OS updates provided for Softbank version of Xperia
Boldis a model where other carriers have provided two updates, but only the Softbank version has received one update.
Xperia 1 (802SO): 1 time
Xperia 5 (901SO): 1 time
Xperia 8 (902SO): 1 time (au version also 1 time)
Xperia 1 II: Not available
Xperia 5 II (A002SO): 1 time
Xperia 10 II (A001SO Y!mobile): 1回
Xperia 1 III (A101SO): 1 time
Xperia 5 III (A103SO): 1 time
Xperia 10 III (A102SO): 1 time
Xperia 1 IV (A201SO): 1 time (so far)
Xperia 5 IV (A204SO):: Once (so far)
Xperia 10 IV (A202SO): 1 time (so far)
Xperia ACE III (A203SO Y!mobile): 1 time (so far)
Xperia 1 V: Once (so far)
Xperia 5 V: Not available
Xperia 10 V: Once (so far)
Well, as far as the three generations up to the Xperia III generation are concerned,It is an undeniable fact that the Softbank version of Xperia can only be updated once for all models.。
Regarding the 2022 Xperia IV generation (ACE is III), at least Docomo and au have promised to update to Android 14, so two OS updates are confirmed.
On the other hand, the Softbank version is still unknown.
If the Android 14 update is provided to the IV model, there is a possibility that the conventional one OS update policy will be changed, but if it is not reversed, there is a high possibility that it will remain the same, including the Xperia V generation.
