Android 7.1 has been out since October and

 only 0.4 percent of active Android devices are currently powered by platform iteration 7.1 

according to PocketNow, which is frankly pathetic. Luckily for Xperia fans, Sony hasn’t been a culprit of this and has beaten nearly every other manufacturer in putting out the newest Android builds. The latest phones to join the Android 7.1.1 Nougat build are the Xperia XZ and X Performance. Adrian Diaconescu writes:

 After rolling out original Nougat treats to the Xperia X Performance and Xperia XZ several months ago, the OEM has earlier today kicked off the incremental Android 7.1.1 updating process over-the-air for the same two 2016 high-end handsets.

Alongside standard stuff like app shortcuts (with a compatible launcher), various bug fixes and (subtle) general performance enhancements, Sony Xperia XZ and X Performance owners can also look forward to April security patches.

As always, the updates are headed your way in phases, slowly and gradually, with their exact arrival time depending on regions, carriers and so on. 

It’s worth noting that Android 7.1 arrived on many Sony phones like the Xperia X Performance last year and this news pertains to Android 7.1.1 which is now available for download. Have you seen the update go live for your phone?
