We’re making Nougat available to Xperia™ XZ, X Compact, XA Ultra, XA, X Performance, X, Z5, Z5 Compact, Z5 Premium, Z4 Tablet, and Z3+. Availability timings will vary depending on model and region. Find out more about your device on the Support page.
So what’s new?
Nougat’s your ticket to the latest features and functionality from both Sony and Android. Explore the software’s standout improvements below.
Multi-window support
You can now run two apps simultaneously in a new split-screen view – ideal for keeping vital information close by. And, when you’re multitasking, just double tap to switch between your two most recent apps.
Battery that knows when it’s needed
Doze is now more intelligent on the move, saving charge whenever your smartphone’s tucked away in your pocket or bag. And our STAMINA mode has three new power saving levels to choose from, automatically adjusting your settings to keep you going.
More meaningful messages
When words alone aren’t enough, let your creativity do the talking. Nougat lets you shoot and send videos, photos, audio and more directly from the Messaging app – so the perfect reply is always at your fingertips.
New camera features
Manual controls
If you own Xperia XZ, X Compact, X or X Performance, you’ll fine-tune your photos like a pro with the new manual focus and shutter speed controls. It’s as easy as adjusting the sliders, and it’ll give you full creative control.
Dedicated selfie timer
Across all other compatible Xperia devices, we’ve added a new self-timer button to your front camera interface. You’ll hold your smartphone more securely when reaching for the perfect angle – no fiddle, no fuss.
