Whilst we await any firm details on Sony’s Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware update, it looks like at least we know what the firmware build number will look like. gbil from XDA has a great track record of upcoming updates on Sony Xperia devices and earlier today he revealed that Lollipop testing has begun on the Xperia Z3.

In particular he referenced “Sony/D6603/D6603:5.0/23.1.X.X.XXX“. This shows that the firmware build number for Xperia Z3 devices will move from 23.0.1.X.X.XX (Android 4.4.4 KitKat) to 23.1.X.X.XXX (Android 5.0 Lollipop). We’ll bring you any other details as soon as we have them.
