These Sony Xperia phones will receive Android 15 update

Sony has officially announced which Xperia devices will be getting the sweet taste of Android 15. This news comes hot on the heels of Google’s rollout of the stable Android 15 update for Pixel devices, and Samsung’s confirmation of the One UI 7 update timeline.

According to Japanese carriers AU by KDDI and DOCOMO, the following Xperia models are eligible for the Android 15 upgrade:

• Xperia 1 V
• Xperia 10 V
• Xperia 5 V
• Xperia 1 VI
• Xperia 10 VI

Sony fans will be happy to hear that the Xperia 10 V Fun Edition, a special variant available only through DOCOMO, is also in line for the Android 15 update.

For those who are keeping track, the Xperia 1 V, Xperia 5 V, Xperia 10 V, and Xperia 10 V Fun Edition shipped with Android 13 and have already been upgraded to Android 14. This means that Android 15 will be their second major OS update, and likely their last. On the other hand, the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI, which launched earlier this year with Android 14, are in for a treat with Android 15 being their first of three major upgrades.

While Sony has been busy confirming its Android 15 plans, other smartphone manufacturers have also been making announcements. Oppo has unveiled ColorOS 15, its Android 15-based skin, and Samsung has shared details about the One UI 7 update for developers and regular users. Heck, even Motorola is already making strides.

It’s clear that Android 15 is gaining momentum, and we can expect more brands to reveal their upgrade plans in the coming months. And for those eager to get their hands on Android 15, the latest OS comes with some fun new features like enhanced personalization, improved multitasking tools, and, of course, better privacy controls—because who doesn’t need a little more security in this digital age?

So, if you’re an Xperia owner, keep an eye out for the Android 15 update. It’s packed with new features and improvements that will make your smartphone experience even better.
