Sony has shortly after the official launch of Android 7.0 nougat to update plans expressed . Accordingly, following smartphones and tablets will get the update:
Xperia Z3 +
Xperia Z4 Tablet
Xperia Z5
Xperia Z5 Compact
Xperia Z5 Premium
Xperia X
Xperia XA
Xperia XA Ultra
Xperia X Performance
A timetable for publication does not exist yet. Whether in the middle class are pending further Nougat updates, is not known.
2014er top devices are out of the race
The update list by Sony shows a strange space: The Sony Xperia Z3. Although this received a developer preview of Android 7.0 nougat, but the final update apparently does not appear. The reason for this is the graphic interface volcano. This is a compulsory part of Android 7.0 nougat, however, requires hardware-support of OpenGL ES 3.1. The mandatory support of OpenGL ES 3.1 is according to Sony only been introduced shortly.
Because OpenGL ES 3.1 is mandatory condition for nougat, such as smartphones and tablets with the Qualcomm chip Snapdragon are excluded 800 and 801 of a nougat-Update de facto: The graphics chip allows hardware-only orders from OpenGL ES 3.0 and can instructions version 3.1 not run. Qualcomm therefore supports the newer OpenGL interface is not in the official driver. Uncertain fate of smartphones with the chipset Snapdragon 410, which GPU also not support OpenGL ES 3.1. Nevertheless gets an Android One smartphone, the General Mobile 4G, a nougat-update.
For smartphones and tablets with chips that support hardware-no OpenGL ES 3.1, this means in all likelihood that there will be no official Nougat updates because the manufacturers – as now – the necessary certification of the system software of Google can not be obtained.
It affects them, inter alia, smartphones Snapdragon 800/801, almost all top appliances from the year 2014: Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 compact , Nexus 5 , OnePlus X , LG G3 , Moto X (2014) , HTC One ( M8) , Samsung Galaxy S5 . In most cases, were here anyway no official updates more expected.
Unofficial Nougat updates via Custom ROM
Owner of a smartphone, the OpenGL 3.1 is not supported in hardware, thus have hope for support of the developer community. Because in custom ROMs, the developers can work around the limitation. And that also happened already in some cases.
