saw this over at engadget.com
We've heard of the mysterious, still-totally-unofficial PlayStation Phone running Android 2.2 in the past, but we'd also heard it could run 3.0 -- thing is, that was back before we knew Gingerbread would be 2.3, so it's possible that those 3.0 rumors ended up materializing as 2.3. Capiche? Anyhow, this is the first time we're seeing the Xperia Play (or Zeus Z1, or whatever it'll end up being called) running 2.3 in the wild, doing its thing next to a white Xperia X10 to give you an idea of scale. The lucky poster actually has two of the phones available, so they seem to be leaking out of factories in sufficient quantities now to suggest that it'll likely be announced soon -- or so we hope, anyway. CES? MWC? We'll know soon enough. Follow the break for the 2.3 evidence up close.
Also notable: these appear to be new hardware builds that feature refined touch surfaces -- notice the engraved circles -- along with PlayStation-themed and Xperia logos at the bottom (notice the telltale square, triangle, X, and circle shapes). The screen shots call out a model number of R800i, which has previously been associated with the Zeus... so this is definitely lining up nicely.

Look at the Anzus lockscreen, see any similarities to our X10's? I dunno, somehow I've got the feeling we'll see some gingerbread on the X10...
Edit
Of course I meant the PSPhone.

Fingers crossed as it seems to be the Kit Kat update based on the firmware number!!! :fingers-crossed:
Seems like a mistake. The first number (in this case, 14), represents the DreamBoard (interface name used inside Sony's dev thingy) belongs to Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra. Just like Z, ZL and a few others, Tablet Z begins with 10. The second number (after the first "stop") is the one that represents a new Android version. Notice how it went from 1 to 3 (from 4.1.2 to 4.3, to 4 (4.3). KitKat should be, in theory, 10.4.x.x.xxx

Since the XZ and ZL got the same build number it may not be a mistake... but might be as well..... time will tell :fingers-crossed:

Haha. Yeah... Info says Z1 should get KK at the start of April, tops. DooMLoRD also mentioned Z might have it even before Z. Considering the Tablet updates always take a bit more to be released, and that the WiFi only versions takes even longer, I bet the SGP311/312 should get KK, following that logic, around the mid or end of April...

I think it's a database error, because there's no "10.4.1.B.0.101" in the list, whic is the latest FW update. However, hope dies last cause in the date column says "Mar 13, 2014"....

While I agree that the update will probably be released in the next few weeks, PTCRB certification only tests for compliance to mobile (cell) network standards and is only a small part of Sony's certification process. Therefore it does not guarantee a particular firmware version will be released.

From My Xperia Z With XDA App
Very likely that 4.4.4 will stay the latest update. According to this source, Xperia Z will become EOL, and not get an official Android L update:

I personally think we was lucky to get 4.4.4 anyway so certainly not at all expecting Android L currently deciding what to do buy out my contract and get the Z3 or wait until January and see what else is available

3beta and Sony in the world unique collaboration
Latest version of Android, 5.0 Lollipop has attracted great interest and is a big step forward for Android. Sony has shown the way and was an early and promised that their entire Z-series will get the update starting early next year.
Prior to this, we are on 3beta proud to work with Sony to invite to our first 3beta projects.
You like 3Kund now have the ability to, as one of the chosen few, to be first in the world to test an early version of Android 5.0 Lollipop on a prototype of the Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact, before the software is released officially.
What is required to be with?
As a tester, you are expected to be familiar with and interested in new technologies, to use the test phone as your daily phone during the test period and report the possible bugs and feedback on potential areas of improvement.
To join you must be private at 3 and are able to take you to Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö, together with representatives from the 3 and Sony get a review of the test. (Does not apply to customers with 3Kontant).
How does it work?
Register your interest on the form below. Have you already registered your interest 3beta, you do not do this again. All those who register their interest will receive an email with information on how the selection process works. Only a limited number of customers will be selected for this test in conjunction with Sony. Application deadline for this is 16th November.

And before some of you lot throw sissy fit, today in Sonys Blog they expressed interest in offering similar oppurtunties in other markets...
Now’s probably a good a time as any to tell you about a new, exclusive initiative we’re running in Sweden with “3”… 3Beta – a pilot programme giving select Sony fans the chance to test drive Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact devices running early versions of our Android 5.0; Lollipop release.
The premise is pretty simple – gather as much early feedback as humanly possible in order to make the Sony User Experience on Android Lollipop as good as it possibly can be, before commercial rollout next year.
We’ll be monitoring interest, reaction and the success s of this project with a view to rolling out similar initiatives in other markets next year.

let's hope the testers persuade Sony to actually create decent Xperia icons for the L release instead of the fugly ones on the Z3c now (those dialer and messaging icons are awful)
Nouuuu, I have Telenor
this will be awesome. i really hope this is something we can do easily and SOON
Kinda silly its only for 3 users. I am in Sweden and I paid full unlocked price for my device and the contracted people are the ones who get the opportunity to beta test.

Sony/E6853/E6853:6.0/32.1.A.0.X
Only a minor version change.
Do you mean Sony is testing Android 6.0 beta on Z5 series? If so, could you tell me how to get it?

Sony has 6.0 test builds already, operators should be getting them for acceptance tests.
I'm not personally testing them since I'm "stuck" with retails devices at the moment and no sorry I can't tell you how to get it.
I see. So do you think we will get "concept" version of 6.0 just like Z3 and Z3C soon?
I'm receiving an update now...don't know what it is yet!
Z5C was on 6.152 and as of yesterday is now on 6.200
My Z5P on 6.170, so the new update might be 6.200, putting everyone on the same version.

Check Sony's developer's website for instructions on how to unlock your BL and flash AOSP 6.0. I would just wait though. It's rumored to be officially released OTA in a month or two. Then you wouldn't need to lose your DRM keys.

I can see the binaries, is there an actual build that is flashable? I haven't seen one yet for my Z5P. I have 6.0 on another phone and would love to see a working build for this one. If you can point me toward the download, i would appreciate it.

Not that I know of. Just the binaries. You will have to build it on your own by following Sony's directions.

I think Sony may hold off and move to a once yearly now. There have been no substantial Z6 leaks and we usually see something within a month before MWC.

Huh? How do you come to that conclusion?
I guess the update will be with us either this month or next month. Either way we get it soon. The phone works fine ATM so there's no rush.
At this stage every year we usually see a leak of sufficient substance to show a phone will be released. So far nothing. All the leaks are just rumours.
Also at the start of last year Sony was asked whether they were going to move to yearly.... They said 'not yet' (the Z3+ then came out.)
If anything, the Z6 will be the same as the Z5 lineup with a change of SoC. Design change will be later in the year.
Any news? Does we get MM before or after MWC?
