And that update will allow you to choose what shows up on the carousel along with the performance tweaks. Awesome.
Is it possible a silent update with installed CM7?
You’ve probably seen Google unveil Android version 5.0; Lollipop…
Since the initial reveal of the Android “L” Developer Preview, we’ve seen lots of questions on our upgrade roadmap about our plans – so, here goes…
We’ll be making Sony Mobile’s Android “L” upgrade available for the entire premium Z series*: including Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1S, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Sony Z Ultra Google Play edition devices will be first up – we’ll be back with more details on that soon.
We’ll start the upgrade at beginning of 2015 for the core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series – continuing thereafter for all remaining devices above.
We’ve been working hard to bring this major update to as many of our Z Series devices as we can, as quickly as we can. We’re really excited about the new Sony features & functionality and the improvements we’ve made to the user experience – and we’ll be sharing more soon… so stay tuned to the blog and @SonyMobileNews for all the latest and greatest.
*Software rollouts are a phased process – timings & availability will vary by market/operator. Most models supported but some operator/market exceptions will apply

This is pretty good news!
Lollipop, Lollipop, oh lolli lolli lolli!
<3 that would the fastest i ever got an upgrade on android
Can't wait! Really curious about the ability to work with raw photos! The sensor in Z3 should be able to produce some stunning photos if treated right!
Really hoping they don't mess up lollipop to much.
Honestly, looking at how KitKat evolved (4.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 then finally 4.4.4) I'd rather wait for some more time for Andoid 5 to stabilise instead of Sony (having to) deliver an instable system. I'm happy about how my Z3C works (for) now and don't want it go bad just because there's something new. It has to be better!
According to a blog post on the Sony site this morning, Sony plans to bring Android 5.0 to the entire premium Xperia Z line. That include:
Xperia Z
Xperia ZL
Xperia ZR
Xperia Tablet Z
Xperia Z1
Xperia Z1s (T-Mobile)
Xperia Z Ultra
Xperia Z1 Compact
Xperia Z2
Xperia Z2 Tablet
Xperia Z3
Xperia Z3v
Xperia Z3 Compact
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
The Xperia Z Ultra Google Play Edition will the first device to see the update. From there they will work toward the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series beginning in 2015.
Timing and availability of those updates will be announced by Sony as they become available and will trickle through specific regions and carriers too.

You're gonna be waiting a while
I have Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 7(2013), To be honest. I liked the look and feel of KitKat better.
This material design or whatever they call it feels just like they wanna look like windoz8.

actually i agree with you. "Played" a bit with Lollypop in Nexus 6 and 9 devices. Yes, it's nice, but i didn't feel that it's revolution as was advertised. There are new features of course, but seems that majority of them are interface design (material) changes.
So in general it seems an evolution to KitKat, like iOS 8 to iOS 7. But KitKat with xposed framework and a few other mods&tweaks, i reckon it can be as functional as Lollipop.
So no extra passion to get lollipop to tabz as soon as possible.

I agree as well, it seems Sony has decided to customise AOSP very minimally, so don't expect many differences between the Nexus 7 and the sony software

Do you realize you ressurected many different several month old threads?
Xperia Tablet Z forum is almost dead... nobody is craving for lollipop
So, WHERE IS OUR LOLLIPOP?????
Do you guys know if we can install the ota lollipop update if we have root? Or do we have to flash the full rom using emma?

Just wait for a Pre Rooted ROM
I guess we have to wait and see.
However, seeing that the OTA fails on rooted Nexus devices since 5.0.1 , I highly doubt you can OTA update other rooted devices above 5.0.1 either. So it'll probably be the good'ol "unroot, update, re-root"
But hey. I might be wrong.
As far as I can remember, there was no OTA for any of the previous versions for the Tablet Z. You have to update via their PC software, so it just sort of "dirty flashes" the system on top, overwriting your kernel and removing root that way.
So far I can see that Z3, Z3 compact, Z2, Z1 and Z1 compact got the update, so we're next

Take that with a huge grain of salt. 4th gen HDX was discontinued in 2015. Ignorant Amazon reps said the same thing about FireOS v5 coming to 3rd gen HDX. Never happened. I could see FireOS v6 coming to 7th gen HD 8/10 devices. Nothing older.

Meanwhile the current Android version is 9.00, so it would only be behind 3 versions not 4.

Nope and nope (with the latter being a non-starter given device age).
