It’s the wild wild west when it comes to Android phones and system updates. Between manufacture prerogative and carrier support or lack there of, it’s at times hard to know if the latest update will make it to your device. What’s even worse is that while the device manufacture (say Sony) might release the update, it doesn’t mean all owners will get them as carriers have final say over the pushed update. This brings us back to Sony and Android 5.0 Lollipop. They’ve already confirmed that all Xperia Z smartphones and tablets would be gaining the latest from Google in the next few months and their newest devices, the Xperia Z4 Tablet and Xperia M4 Aqua will ship with Android 5.0 when released in the near future.

So what if you’re on T-Mobile? Good things it seems like. Details after the jump.

According to the T-Mobile software update page, the Sony  Xperia Z1s (C6916) and Xperia Z3 (D6616) will be gaining Android 5.0 Lollipop at some point. T-Mobile doesn’t go as far as to claim when the update will be pushed out and Sony has yet to confirm a date but from everything we’ve read, expect an early summer release.
