Both Sony Flagships Are Now Getting Android 13 Update
Sony has announced that Android 13 has begun rolling out Android 13 to its flagships. The Sony Xperia 1 IV and Sony Xperia 5 IV are getting the update now. Sony hasn't specified where the launch will begin, but we know it's about global facilities.
Android 13 is now available for Sony's flagship phones, the Xperia 1 IV and Xperia 5 IV.
Indeed, the rollout may start to cover completely global options. However, we know that the update will be rolled out in stages. So it may not appear on your phone right now, but it will appear in the near future.
Sony phones come with a relatively clean version of Android. Sony is just adding a few touches to Google's version of Android. Of course, unless it's a Pixel exclusive, you get all the Android 13 features Google announced.
After that, your updated components will arrive on both phones. You also get color and icon customization options, as well as updated digital health. Security updates with extended permissions and more will also be part of the package.
It remains to be seen what changes Sony will make for its part. Sony didn't go into details at all. Just officially announced the beginning of the global rollout for both devices, that's all.
The Xperia 5 IV is one of the best compact smartphones out there, but it falls short of the Xperia 1 IV.
In addition, Xperia 1 IV and Xperia 5 IV were released this year. The first arrives in May, and the second in September. Both phones are very similar, but the Xperia 5 IV is much more compact.
This is one of the best compact smartphones on the market right now. Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and feature an OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Xperia 1 IV screen is better and clearer. It has more RAM than the Xperia 5 IV and some camera differences. Both phones have the same main camera.
ZEISS optics are included with both phones, and both devices ship with Android 12. Your phones will notify you when an update is available, but you can also check the settings manually.
