When is Android 12 Coming to Sony Xperia 10 III

djeire84 — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 10:22:11 GMT

Hi there the 1 III and 5 III have been getting their Android 12 updates. I'm wondering when the 10 III will start to get its update? I think it's unfair to send out Android 12 to the flagships first in all markets and then push it to the 10 III even though the 10 III was the first of the MK3 line to be released. I understand the flagships will get updates first but this is ridiculous now. Thanks so much.

No I just popped up a post here. I'm surprised there isn't more people asking.

Android 12 just brings new issues, read this thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/rvr3qp/where_the_hell_is_official_android_12_confirmation/

Quote from there.

"I hope they better fix existing problems on my Xperia 5II than launch Android 12 with more bugs."

I totally agree.

Yeah, I think they might stop releasing it for a while until they solve the issue.

sometime it's good to have the update at the end

Ya I'm on that sub. It's looking like Android 12 across the board on all devices is having such issues. Samsung have reported severe battery drain among others. I'm actually glad that my phone isn't getting it.

Hopefully we will get a better quality Android 12 when they work out the bugs.

True that. I 100% agree. Its not been a good road for Android 12 looks like Google Pixels are getting the best experience no shock there then.

Oh that's bad. I didn't know it affected other brands as well. They either will pulled it out like the case with Sony or they will just release a software update to resolve the issue.

At last I am back. sadly I lost my old account, SONY sadly didnt help squat to get my account here back. But I guess it was better for it to just get deleted, than go on not being able to sign in. Well, I am definately not a visitor, been here for ages, but well ...

I do agree with the thread creator, and those answering. Sure its better SONY releases an update that is working. I get that. But what I dont get is the silence treatment from SONY about this update. Sony usually at least inform us wich units getting the update. This time, there was no information what so ever about the roll out for Xperia 1 and Xperia 5. I guess they had to release it, because the US market gotten units with Xperia 5 III with android 12.

But I think it cant be so bad of bugs in the software so we cant get it now? Right? I mean Samsung and OnePlus just stoped it for a while, and then roll out the update again. This time around SONY is really not doing this thing good. Starting to wonder what the headquartes in Japan believes that information to their customers are bad or something. I do miss the days when SONY was SONY ERICSSON later SONY and headquartes was in Sweden. Those were the days. 🙂

I wish they would go back to the update schedule of release as they did during SONY ERICSSON days and before SONY moved hq to Japan. They however did change it to Premium newest devices update first, then newest Mid range, and low range. Than comes the older Premium, Mid range low range and so on.

Be careful what you wish for.... they released Android12 for the Xperia 5 iii and it broke the Xperia launcher app - fortunately I managed to sideload an old 3rd party launcher APK that was stable enough for me to launch the Play store and load Smart Launcher...

Sony are just nuts: killing their own launcher is such a crazy own goal... it's forcing people onto a platform where the only remaining "Sony" part of the phones is the hardware...

See this thread for the Xperia 5 iii mess: https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/5-series/xperia-5-iii-android-12-update-xperia-home-keeps-stopping/m-p/3851678/highlight/false#M2313

They have a "fix", but I'd just recommend to load an alternative launcher before you even try, so you're ready to walk away from the Xperia one...

I have read from a different communities, complaints, that Xperia is so bad, does not include this or that app anymore or this and that app is bad etc.

C'mon people, new phone is like new computer with preinstalled operating system, and does include the basic software and instead of using notepad for writing and paint for design and instead of complaining forever, users install special software for their special needs.

Same with the phone, I can't imagine, that someone uses phone with preinstalled app -s, I personally use for every needs a custom app and so phone is just a hardware and I can get the same user experience with a different hardware.

The Pixel 6 has been having issues being able to receive or make phone calls so I don't know that I would say that they have been having the best Android 12 experience ... . 😜

I'm sure it's just a matter of time until they release the update that will solve this issue and I think they will still roll the update gradually on the devices to make sure how it will go with different models. Also, normally not all devices even with same model get the update at the same time depending on other external factors.

Are you the same person on the sub Reddit page? If so we've met on multiple posts. Your pictures are unreal. Yes I am happy that the rollout has paused and hopefully we get a better experience.

djeire84 — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 10:32:13 GMT

Oh no I'm going to wait for a while to see if there has been improvements and fixes before attempting an update. I'll be keeping a close eye to the Sony sub Reddit.

Noway. Wow if Pixels are having issues there is no hope for the rest of us.

No when I said about the full experience I was referring to the themes. I've read that Sony doesn't include them in their Android 12. Which is one of the reasons why I was excited for Android 12 it has a KitKat kind of feel to it. More colourful and nice UI.
