We’ve reported fairly extensively on the arrival of Android 5.1.1 on Sony’s mobile fleet. In just the past week, the update has been released on the Xperia Z3 Compact & Z3 Tablet Compact as well as Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2. In the coming weeks, Sony plans to roll out the new Android build on additional devices which you can read about here.

So what can you expect with Android 5.1.1 on your Sony Xperia device? After the jump, we’ve documented a few of the tweaks.

  • Pressing volume up/down now brings you the graphic on the left below. Tapping the button on the right expands the volume menu.
  • Tapping the icon on the left side twice puts the phone into silent mode.
  • New icons for the ‘Settings’ menu.
  • Home launcher settings now allow you to change icon size
