A new firmware update is being rolled out to the owners of Xperia Z1 devices on the network of Telstra in Australia, namely software version 14.1.G.2.259.

The new release is said to be available only for this carrier-branded variant of the mobile phone, and chances are that it will not be released to other models as well.

No official changelog has been released alongside the new software, but some of the users who installed the update noted on Telstra's forums that the device felt much snappier than before.

The new Xperia Z1 firmware is being delivered over-the-air, and users should see a notification as soon as it is available for them. Those of you who would like to install the new release can also fire up the Sony PC Companion on your desktops to grab it.
