We’ve known for some time that Sony would begin its rollout of Android 5.0 Lollipop to its fleet of Xperia Z devices, but we weren’t sure which devices would gain the update first. Now, Sony has put that question to rest by rolling out Android 5.0 to the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact. The update will first come to the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact in the Nordics and Baltics and continue from there to further markets. It’s unclear exactly how the rollout will work as Sony did not break it down by region, but we should expect it to take nearly two weeks.

So once the update is live, what can you expect from Android 5.0 Lollipop? Details after the jump.

With the newest update on your device, you can expect

• Fresh, streamlined looks – based on Google’s material design, but retaining our minimalistic approach to interface and application design

• New look notifications and lock screen – with fully customizable settings, so you only get the information you really need

• Multi user profiles and guest mode – making it easy for family and friends to use your device, or the creation of dual environments for work and play…

• Android for Work – not only are business-ready Xperia smartphones and tablets unique devices for work – with waterproof form factors, great battery life and productivity features – they will now also be part of the Android for Work ecosystem

• Better storage control and customisation – with the option to easily move applications from internal memory to SD card – giving you more control over your content, particularly useful for devices with slightly less space

In the US, T-Mobile has already confirmed that they’ll be supporting Android 5.0 on the Xperia Z3 but with no time table given. Verizon has yet to confirm any details.
