Xperia 1 III Flagship Premium may only get one Android upgrade

For those who follow the smartphone market for almost a decade now, unusual hearing the Sony smartphone gets a price label much higher than their competitors. At the same time, the company has become one of the few among his colleagues who made the door open for the developer and modder Android ROM. This describes a rather confusing image of the Sony smartphone business, and this latest revelation does not help increase the image. According to the Dutch office, the latest Xperia 1 III, top-class superior will only get two years of monthly security improvement and one major Android update.

Although this is an unusual strategy, it has never been heard for producers to offer only one Android update to their latest model. Motorola may have started a trend with the Moto G series series, and Oneplus is the latest and most controversial to join the small group with Oneplus Nord Line. What makes this revelation surprise is that the Xperia 1 III is almost nothing you will consider “medium.”

According to DroidApp, Sony’s Benelux branch responds to questions about software updates with disappointing information. Xperia 1 III will get two years of renewal, but only refers to monthly security updates. As far as Android’s upgrade, it will only get one, which will be Android 12.

Announced earlier this year, Sony Xperia 1 III has all the advantages of premium phones and has a price label to match. At $ 1,299.99, easily surpassed most of the superior this year, including the equivalent Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. At that price point, you will expect a little more than Sony when it comes to software updates.

Of course, this can only be miscommunicated on the part of the local Sony office, and the company can end up with the usual Android formula upgrade and three years of software updates. Then again, Sony doesn’t really attack one as a company that is widely invested in its cellular business, and may not invest in providing such premium software support.
