It is looking as though Sony are going to keep to the promise that they made last month as they have now started rolling out KitKat 4.4.2 for the Sony Xperia M2. They have started with the international single SIM phones, the LTE variation in France, Ireland, Israel, Russia, Singapore and Thailand.
The five Sony Xperia M2 variations include:
HSDPA
S50h (dual-SIM)
D2302 (dual-SIM)
D2305
LTE
D2303
D2306
The build of the firmware is 18.3.C.0.37 and it isn’t going to be long until the single along with the dual SIM versions get updated too. Here is a list of the many improvements that are said to be coming from Sony.
• Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard — bringing performance & UI optimization
• We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings — now more intuitive and customizable (and pretty easy on the eyes) — cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
• If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface — we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and live wallpaper across the lock and home screens
• Better storage choice — you now have the option to easily move applications from internal memory to SD card — we recognized the need to have more control over your content — as something particularly useful for devices with slightly less space
• We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions — bringing tweaked/improved/current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, Smart Connect, TrackID, What’s New, and Battery STAMINA Mode, Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album, and Movies
• And proving pretty popular, now totalling over 2 million downloads — our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select — skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles
• Compatibility with our SmartWear Experience; SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app – enabling you to record social, physical and entertainment activities and have them all visualised in a beautiful interface — reminisce at that past, make the best of the present and plan for the future
At the moment the Sony Xperia M2 comes with a price tag of RM939 for both the single SIM and dial SIM and the handset is offered in white, purple and black.
