The professional-level camera capabilities of Sony Xperia smartphones have gained considerable popularity. Since it’s obviously coming from a well-known photography expert’s home, the smartphone’s professionalism in this area is nothing new. Well, according to the latest news, the most recent Android 13 update has finally begun to roll out to three of the tech giant’s Xperia smartphones.

The Sony Xperia 1 III, Xperia 5 III and Xperia Pro-I have started receiving the Android 13 update. The Xperia 1 III and 5 III were launched with the Android 11-based operating system right out of the box. They later grabbed the support for Android 12 through an OTA update later this year. The Xperia Pro-I was also launched with Android 11 out of the box. The Android 13 is the second major update for all three devices.

As of right now, the brand has not made clear which regions will receive the update; it is still being rolled out in a gradual manner. So, if you still haven’t received the most recent update for your smartphone, we advise you to wait a few more days. If you still do not receive the OTA update notification, you can manually check the settings and software update area to see if it has been released. In the next few days, the OTA will be accessible to a larger audience.

Regarding the time frame for software support for these devices, there are no official statements. We expect Sony to release at least three major Android updates for its smartphones, with Android 13 arriving as the second major update for these devices. Many other OEMs, including Samsung and OnePlus, have already begun to provide 5 years of security updates and 4 significant Android upgrades. However, this comparison is meaningless because both of these companies are primarily focused on their flagship products, whereas Sony is designed for camera enthusiasts who may be less concerned with the most latest software.
