Keeping to its promise last month, Sony has begun rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware for its Xperia M2 smartphone, beginning with the international single-SIM, LTE variant (D2303), to the first six markets — France, Ireland, Israel, Russia, Singapore, and Thailand.
To recap there are a total of five Xperia M2 variants that we know off:
HSDPA
- S50h (dual-SIM)
- D2302 (dual-SIM)
- D2305
LTE
- D2303
- D2306
With the firmware build 18.3.C.0.37, it won’t be long until both single- and dual-SIM version for the Malaysian market receive this update as well. Here are the list of improvements provided by 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
Sony Xperia M2 is currently priced at RM939 for both single- and dual-SIM variants, and they come in black, purple, and white color options. They can be purchased online directly from Sony.
