"Sony Xperia XZ Premium gets Oreo in December"

[Zewarxx]

Sony's Xperia XZ Premium will receive the update to Android 8.0 Oreo in December. That's at least true for units sold in Japan, the company's home country, since that's where the information comes from. In other parts of the globe, the rollout may start sooner than that, or later. This should however give you a very rough estimate of when to expect the first XZ Premiums to run the latest iteration of Google's OS.

In other news related to the Xperia XZ Premium, Sony has officially announced the red color version for this smartphone today. This was first spotted back in May, and we haven't heard anything about it since. It will finally go on sale in Japan on October 27 at docomo, the country's biggest carrier.


Right now there's no telling whether the red XZ Premium will ever be offered outside of Japan, but with such a striking hue it would be a shame if it doesn't launch elsewhere. As you'd expect, all of the internals are the same in this model as they are for its Luminous Chrome, Deepsea Black, and Bronze Pink variations.

What do you think guys? Keeping in mind we didn't receive October security updates yet ?, I hope that we get it earlier ?

I'm hoping it gets Oreo sooner than December; as bar screen resolution I thought it is the same as the XZ1 & XZ1C (which launched with 8.0)

Hopefully it will be coming soon, it will make it more competitive in comparison to some new phones launching with 8.0, also they already posted the red color on the global website so it's not exclusive to japan. They posted about it this morning on twitter as well.

Looking forward to predictive burst thing. Love the phone other than the camera, shot to shot time is horrible compared to my OP5 and 7+ with no burst functionality.

Or make predictive capture available on all photos (separate mode). Far to many blurry photos of kids.

The red color looks great but it's too late for it now I can't afford to change it now ? hope it will be sooner the battery life is already good for me and I guess with the update will be even better
