Xperia X Updated with the Android 7.1.1 Nougat Concept

Back at the start of December, a member of Sony's concept developer team said the Android 7.1.1 Nougat update was their "number one priority." The team had a goal to be the first smartphone manufacturer (excluding Google) to release the latest 7.1.1 update and they just did. Granted, this is not a stable build of the update, but it is great for those who have joined in on Sony's Android concept program.

At the time, the concept developer team from Sony already had the source code for the update. They were able to tinker with this part of the OS, but they were still waiting for the application suite and Compatibility Test Suite from Google. At the time, they were unable to give us any ETA about the release of the concept update, but it seems we didn't have to wait very long. We're already seeing those with the Xperia X receiving the 7.1.1. OTA update right now.

Again, you have to be part of Sony's Xperia Concept Program to be eligible for this OTA update. The OTA update for this device comes with the firmware version 38.3.A.0.41, and it also includes the December security patches for Android as well. The changelog for this new update says it includes a restart option directly in Android's power menu. This OTA update also comes with support for Sony's PS4 Remote Play feature too (although DualShock support is not included right now).

We can also see that this new update enables the camera application to be launched faster than before too. We aren't seeing any complaints about this update when it comes to bugs or stability issues, so that's a good thing. Were you one of the people who received this 7.1.1 Nougat update? If so, we would love to hear what you think about the update so far.
