Where’s my KitKat?
Users may be wondering why 4.2 now if KitKat 4.4 is now released. Sony did not mention the Xperia L in the first round of KitKat updates, but more information is yet to come. Sony did say that there is also more Jellybean updates on the way for some models.
You can check in with our KitKat roadmap here as Sony releases more details.
Discuss:
Has the Xperia L been updated frequently enough? Do you think Sony will update this phone directly to KitKat 4.4?
