Sony Xperia C4 and C4 Dual get Android Marshmallow
Sony Xperia C4
The two handsets now get firmware versions 27.3.A.0.122 and 27.3.B.0.122, thus receiving the usual Android 6.0 features - Doze mode, Google Now on Tap, granular permissions, and more.
Although Sony is no longer selling a significant number of smartphones, they continue to provide regular firmware updates to the units that were released so far. Now, the time has come for the Xperia C4 and the Xperia C4 Dual to get Android Marshmallow.
The models that get new firmware are E5303 & E5306 (Xperia C4), and E5333 & E5343 (Xperia C4 Dual). The firmware number 27.3.A.0.122 targets the C4, while the C4 Dual will be running the software version 27.3.B.0.122 after the update is complete. The features included are the usual Android 6.0 Marshmallow goodies - Google Now on Tap, Doze mode, Direct Share, granular app permissions, new emojis, next to the minor tweaks, fixes, and security patches that come with all such updates.
While the update should reach all these handsets worldwide, there is no official confirmation yet. The Xperia C5 Ultra could also get updated soon, but this has not been confirmed yet, either.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
