Sony has confirmed that the Xperia 5 V is its first smartphone to receive the Android 14 update in 2024. Additionally, three other Xperia phones will be getting the update in the coming days: Xperia 1 IV, Xperia 5 IV, and Xperia 10 IV.

All three Xperia phones, which were launched back in 2022, are getting their second major OS update and are expected to receive at least one more Android update before software support is discontinued.

Key new features and improvements that the eligible Xperia phones will receive with the Android 14 update include flash notifications, compatibility with the Find my device app, expanded Nearby Share feature, and the ability to customize lock screen shortcuts.

These are not the only improvements coming to the Xperia smartphones with Android 14. Sony has highlighted these features, but users can expect a lot more benefits once their Android 14 update arrives.

Owners of the eligible Xperia phones may have to wait a few more days since these updates are usually rolled out in stages.
