Mid-range Xperia OS update degrades at once? Xperia 10 III may not be eligible for Android 13 update | Smartphone Summary

Google’s latest operating system, Android 13.

Since the Pixel update rolls out so early this year, it is expected that updates for other OEM models will be available earlier than usual.

Meanwhile, I found some interesting information about Sony’s Android 13 update schedule for Xperia smartphones.

Xperia 10 III not covered by the Android 13 update?

a stranger.
Normally, there are “indications” about a (Xperia) model that it will update to the next OS at this time, but this year there are still no signs of an Xperia 10 III update.

The type of “tag” is unknown, but it may be information about the development status of the firmware.

In any case, although there are some kind of “flags” that show the target model of the Android 13 update from Xperia, only the Xperia 10 III can’t see them.

In short,Xperia 10 III may not be eligible for Android 13 updatecan be received.

Midrange Xperia’s OS update once degraded?

As you know, the OS update for Xperia smartphones in the past was familiar to the flagship to be twice and the mid-range once, but last year’s Android 12 OS, also updated to Xperia 10 II.

It was thought that this would extend the OS update period for the mid-range Xperia device as well.

However, if the Android 13 update to Xperia 10 III is not offered this time, the number of updates on Xperia midrange will come back again.

Of course, Sony has not officially announced the update support warranty period for Xperia smartphones, so it is inevitable that the number of OS updates offered will change without warning depending on the model and generation.

However, it is disappointing that the Xperia 10 II will provide two updates, while the Xperia 10 III will only come back with one.

On the other hand, this information does not conclude that an Android 13 update will not be provided for the Xperia 10 III, so I would like to wait for more information.
