Sony has starting its Android 5.0, Lollipop upgrade from today for Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact. The upgrade will hit first devices in the Nordics and Baltics, continuing to further markets, for more Xperia Z Series products, starting in around two weeks time.

After blending Google’s first Lollipop release with Sony software, some of the goodies include:

• Streamlined looks - based on Google’s material design, but retaining Sony's minimalistic approach to interface and application design
• New look notifications and lock screen - with fully customizable settings
• Multi user profiles and guest mode - making it easy for family and friends to use your device, or the creation of dual environments for work and play…
• Android for Work - not only are business-ready Xperia smartphones and tablets unique devices for work – with waterproof form factors, battery life and productivity features - they will now also be part of the Android for Work ecosystem
• Better storage control and customisation - with the option to easily move applications from internal memory to SD card – giving you more control over your content, particularly useful for devices with slightly less space
