Sony Announces Android 4.3 Upgrade Path For Slew Of Devices

Sony used to be one of the those manufacturers who rarely kept deadlines (much less promises) on Android updates for previously released hardware. Fast forward a couple years and things are changing for the better. Now, Sony is one of the better options for Android users looking for the (mostly) latest updates for their not-quite-so-new hardware.

Less than 24 hours ago Google officially announced Android 4.3. And already, Sony has come out swinging, divulging a ton of their own hardware that *should* get the latest and greatest firmware in the coming weeks and months. Specifically, owners of the following devices have a shot at 4.3: Xperia Z, ZL and ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP and the Xperia Z Ultra.

Considering Sony’s latest device is fairly water resistant, it’s almost as if passing on a Nexus branded device was a good choice. (That is, if you’re the clumsy type.)
