Sony Mobile is finally bringing Android Marshmallow to the Xperia Z4 tablet, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Next to the slate, the Xperia Z3+ handset also gets Android 6.0, accompanied by the entire Xperia Z5 lineup.
All the devices mentioned above get Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based firmware build 32.1.A.1.163. The variants of the Xperia Z4 tablet that receive the update today are SGP712 (WiFi) and SGP771 (LTE), next to the Xperia Z3+ (E6553). The E6553 is the single-SIM variant of the handset, but its dual-SIM sibling should get updated this week as well.
While it is not clear yet if the new firmware brings a new Xperia UI with it or not, the usual Marshmallow goodies should be included - Google Now on Tap, Doze model, the usual minor tweaks and fixes, the latest security updates, and even the new easter egg which is a refresh of the tricky Flappy Bird-style game introduced in Android Lollipop.

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.
