We reported to you earlier today that Sony has kicked off the rollout of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3 series.

However, there are quite a few other Xperia smartphones that have been confirmed to receive the update, but are less likely to get it this month.

According to Sony, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact and Xperia Z Ultra will receive the promised Android 5.1.1 Lollipop upgrade starting “over the coming weeks.” This means there's a high chance that the update won't make it this month.

Furthermore, the Japanese company announced that Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3 would be the next to receive Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update, after the devices mentioned earlier get their upgrades.

Last but not least, the original Xperia Z series, as well as Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 Aqua, will finally receive Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, but an estimated timeframe for release has yet to be confirmed.

Along the information regarding Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for some of its Xperia smartphones, Sony also published the highlights of the upgrade. If you own one of the eligible devices for this update, here is what you will get aside from the usual improvements and new features added by Google.

Some of the update's highlights have been announced

First of all, Sony confirmed the update increases customization options, so users will be given more control over the way volume, silent modes and alerts function.

Some camera improvements will be implemented as well, so expect faster, more accurate Superior Auto Mode focus for better images, regardless of conditions.

The update also brings enhanced enterprise support with Sony's latest Xperia in Business features for work, but also SmartWear integration. The latter allows users to take selfies much easier, while using the SmartWatch 3 as a remote shutter button.

Last but not least, Sony confirmed Android 5.1.1 Lollipop includes new LinkedIn integration, thus allowing for more productivity with intuitive contact.
