Whether it's 5 years of Android updates or just 5 years of security patches (and probably three or four Android updates), it's lightyears better than what Sony does, which is just two years of Android updates.
According to new rumours, Sony could finally be moving away from the limited software support it provides to its Xperia smartphones. Allegedly, up to five years of updates could be coming to the Xperia 1 VI, Xperia 5 VI and Xperia 10 VI when they launch later this year.
