EDIT 23/4/2014
---------------------
Build number 10.5.A.0.XXX most likely denotes Android 4.4 KitKat, given that 10.4 firmware was Android 4.3; 10.3 firmware was Android 4.2 and 10.1 firmware was Android 4.1. However, EMMA is a tool where different people have different access levels and there is no doubt this is an early test release, there’s no guarantee this will be the build that will hit phones next month.

Changelog

Here's the official change log of the upcoming Android KitKat update:

  • Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation… We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
  • If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens
  • We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions – bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…
  • Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration – a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!
  • Our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles, and more to follow soon…

    You don't believe in my country ZR is 20% expensive than Z. I prefer ZR for its better battery life time though I prefer the Z slim attractive design.

    But according to SONY Z was the flagship and the replacements are Z1 and Z2.. ZR was never been a flagship replacement but an alternative. ZR also has better water resistance compared to Z

    it also happened when i bought my XZR ,this time the XZ was only about 15-20% more expensive than the XZR ,but i preferred the 4.55" display, removable and better battery life, better water resistant

    I switched from Xperia Z to ZR, and it's the best decision i've made since I interested in phones :laugh:

    Can't believe the difference between two phones, which has the exact specs, sans screen. On the Z, I still experienced lags here and there, but not on ZR! All the apps and settings on my ZR were backed up from the Z. Apps behave just like flying, and it's still on completely stock ROM. Plus point for smaller size, camera button and IP58 water resistance! :good:

    From now on, I think I should wait for the smaller version of Sony's flagship phone. They are the best phones on the market :cool:

    Agreed, we are lucky to have update at all, sony has a reputation for not giving update at all, Xperia Sola and U was their great example they pronounce EOL of those phones in less than a year (and not even ICS updates after that!!),
    let's face it we have a phone that still is under legacy and low activity forum, why's that? because less ppl are looking for a phone, they looking for a big bucket that is larger their hand or pocket size! so why sony even support a phone with low rep? cause to make us happy? they don't care about their low activity phone ppl!!!

    Yup ;)
    The Xperia ZR is a low activity phone because peoples don't think. They follow fashion. The fashion of 5" screens...
    I am proud to have a no common phone. I do not like to have the same phone as everyone (Galaxy, iPhone...).
    In addition, in my country(France), the ZR is not normally sold. So I'm one of the only French to have a Xperia ZR! :p

    If the ZR has this 4.4 update, it's just because it has a very similar hardware as the Z.

    And if we are in low legacy phone, it's also because developers don't care about the little of the Z family.
    But some devs build some ROM for ZR. Like my French friend Alx31TLse (Xperia Z user). :highfive:
    And I'm try to build some ROM for ZR too.
