Sony began rolling out the Android Pie update to the mid-range Xperia XA2 back in February. However, it had to suspend the update as it was bricking the Russian version of the phone. Sony has now resumed the update for the phone.
The old update’s which has version number 50.2.A.0.342 would cause phones to restart and then display black and white stripes on the screen afterward, rendering the phone unusable. The new update has resolved the issue and is now safe for installation.
The new update’s version number is 50.2.A.0.352 and it brings March 2019’s security patch too. It is also said to be rolling out in other regions too. So check your phone for the update.
The Xperia XA2 was released over a year ago. It has a 5.2-inch FHD display with thick bezels at the top and bottom of the screen and covered with Gorilla Glass 4. There is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 630 under the hood and it is paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The SIM 2 slot also doubles as a MicroSD card slot (256GB max.).
