Sony Xperia E1 and Xperia E1 Dual get Android 4.4 KitKat update
Sony, true to its promise, has begun rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Xperia E1 and Xperia E1. The new update has version number v20.1.B.0.64. The update brings performance improvements, move to SD card option for compatible apps alongwith UI changes introduced with KitKat.
Sony Xperia E1 and Xperia E1 Dual KitKat update changelog:
- Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation…
- We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… 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 livewallpaper 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 recognised 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, Sony Select, and Battery STAMINA Mode, Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies
- And proving pretty popular, now totaling 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…
The update is now available over the air. If you haven't received the update yet, just head into Settings -> About phone and software updates.
