After being delayed for a month, Sony is finally rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to its two star products that it currently has as are the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact.
This display is the starting shot for the arrival of Android 5.0 Lollipop to the rest of the Z range phones, which, like those who will receive Lollipop from today, were waiting for the deployment of this new and interesting Android update for the month of February. A great novelty for this day of Monday although not everything is positive news the appearance of Android 5.0 in relation to the camera.
Exit shotgun for the Z range
The North and Baltic regions are the first They are getting Android 5.0 for the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact. And for what would be the rest of the Z range, it will arrive at the beginning of April if everything goes as planned. Sony has also shared in this new version the news that Android 5.0.2 Lollipop has:
- New «look» based on Material Design that retains the minimalist touch of Sony in the interface design
- New notification style card based and lock screen
- Support to multiple user accounts and guest mode
- Android for Work
- Capacity for move apps to and from microSD card
Where is the new Lollipop Photography API?
That Sony be prepared because it will receive criticism in this regard, since it has omitted to add one of the greatest features for the camera in Android 5.x Lollipop and it is the one that can shoot photographs in RAW format. This format means that there is no type of processing for which the user takes the photograph as it is in its weight. And not only has it gone over the RAW format but they forget about the white balance, manual ISO and shooting speed that is included in the new version of Lollipop.
The reasons behind this It may be that your camera app already includes these capabilities so we will have to see what will happen when a third-party app is installed to have greater control over the camera, one of Google's maximum objectives in Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Another reason why We can be happy because this is the Android version 5.0.2, although version 5.1 is already in some Nexus, which includes a good number of bug fixes.
