Sony today has started rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo update for Xperia XZ and XZs. The new update comes with a build number 41.3.A.0.401, and the update with same build number is expected to hit Xperia X Performance shortly. Sony just as it promised, is rolling out the update to its flagship smartphones before the end of the year.

Android 8.0 Oreo update brings features like reminders for unfinished tasks such as emails in drafts and messages. It brings a new feature called Xperia actions which intelligently suggests actions based on your usage with all new games and community features.  It brings contextual menus for app shortcuts which on long pressing will show more options.

The update will also include Oreo default features like notification channels, improvements including Background limits, Snooze notifications, Picture in Picture (PIP) display, Adaptive icon and more. The update has just started rolling out and it will be phased so it will take time for the update to roll out globally. The update is around 1232MB in size and also includes Android security update for November 2017.
