So you're saying before we receive Android Lollipop 5.0, we're going to be getting more updates for the Z2? Do you know how many?
Do you know when these are planned? Do you have a source for this info?

We are going to get lollipop and it wont be our last android version

I dont know how many updates but we have a year and a half left of update support

Sony did confirm lollipop for the z devices, but they only confirmed z3 update for beginning of February. I would imagine the z2 would be sometime in March. Not to be a downer, just being realistic. Don't expect lollipop for our devices at the same time as the z3. Also, considering the 4.4.4 update had very few exploits for root (create a pre-rooted ftf or unlock bootloader), I doubt it will be easy to root lollipop. The grass isn't always greener guys.

They confirmed LP for all Z flagships

However they didnt confirm dates

Rooting on LB wont be easy at all however there is a failsafe way which includes downgrading
