Android 7.0 Nougat Update Is On Board For Sony Xperia Z3 Plus and Z3 Plus Dual

Sony has been aggressively seeding the latest Android 7.0 Nougat to the Z5 series on January, 17. Previously, the Japan-based company has included Android 7.0 to Xperia Z and X Performance. Now, Sony has started to roll out Nougat for Xperia Z3 Plus and Z3 Plus Dual. However, Nougat hasn't launched for Z5 Compact and Z4 tablet yet. No need to fret, Sony has also prepared to expand the rollout to a much larger audience.

The Android 7.0 includes several new features; one of them is Android's Doze System to improve the battery life. Sony has also made an alteration to its battery saving Stamina Mode that will let you choose whether you want to prioritize on performance or standby times, accordign to blog in Xperia.

In addition, the update delivers a change to its home screen that's integrated with Google Now. A selfie camera timer has also been added in the latest update as well as messaging enhancement. To improve user experience, Android 7.0 also has split-screen functionality and multi-window support that will let users run two apps simultaneously and just double tap to switch between them.
