XZPremium Software Updates Theory

[Lazaros_K]

As expected, the Sony Xperia XZ Premiums final software is going to be Andorid 9 Pie. This is due to Sonys 2 year Major software update policy.

Sony released a list of devices which will receive Android Pie.
The Xperia XZs (announced along with the XZ Premium) , will not receive the Andorid 9 Pie update, despite the fact that it hasn't reached its 2 wear software period.
Why is that? Due to hardware. It has the SD820,which is also present on the XZ and XP.

Here is my theory, Andorid 9 won't be the XZ Premiums final update. The final version is going to be Android 10.
Why is that? The XZ Premium has identical hardware and software with the XZ1 Series. Also, the XZ1 Series are bound to receive Android 10 due to the 2 year policy.
BUT. Sony didn't apply this policy to the XZs. So it can sometimes break it.

The XZs didn't receive Android Pie to the SD820 thanks to the commonality with the XZ and XP. If Sony updated the XZs, the would be forced to update the XZ and XP.

The XZ Premium will receive Android 10 thanks to the SD835 and the commonality with the XZ1.

What are your thoughts?

The word "Premium" always mean special treat or something more then regular.

While XZ1 and XZ1 compact has treble support...XZP has none. Sorry to be pessimistic but I don't think XZP will receive Android 10...Although I really hope it does receive.
