What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?

What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?

According to the Swedish and British Sony website, the latest version for the Xperia Tablet Z is 10.1.1.A.1.253 released on 17th of May.

But this is the latest version for the Xperia Z (phone) not the tablet Z... Or am I wrong?

It's a bit confusing, when the manufacturer cannot keep track of the phone and tablet...

According to the specs Tablet Z and Xperia Z (phone) have identical hardware (beside screen size). Taking this into account i think Sony used the same firmware for them, that's why firmware version is identical.

Depends on if you have the WiF version or the LTE version. For LTE the latest is 10.1.1.A.1.253 and for WiFi it's 10.1.C.0.344.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Thanks for the information.

But according to the Sony website it only shows the LTE version.

Perhaps it should show both Wifi and LTE versions, so there is no confusion...

If I'm able to give some feedback.

Which website are you on? On the global/international one both are listed:

This is the one I came to when browsing the Swedish Sony website:

http://www.sonymobile.com/se/software/tablets/xperia-tablet-z/

This is the one I came to when browsing the UK Sony website:

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/software/tablets/xperia-tablet-z/

Surely the local versions of the website should hold the correct information.

Or do I need to go to the international one for this information?

Since you explained the difference to me it's no longer a problem, but it could be a problem for others...

The international/gobal website are listing both LTE and Wifi model when I goto the tablet section.

On the local ones only one tablet Z i listed and it does not say if it's LTE or Wifi...

Ofcourse you should get the correct information no matter what website you're on :smileyhappy:. I'll forward the feedback internally!

EDIT:

Checked it out once again and both for the Sweden and the UK website you can check for the latest firmware version at Support > Tablets > [choose LTE or WiFi version] > Software updates, or Software > Software news > Tablets > [choose LTE or WiFi version].

I just want to ask why all the update/fixing information are come from XDA but not SONY? Should we trust XDA more than SONY?? Why WIFI version got its update but the news was not announced by SONY?? Also, SONY replied one of the LTE's user exFAT update is being produced then why SONY cannot announce this news officially in here or SONY web site???

My firmware says 10.1.1.A.1.253, but swedish the sites says that 10.1.1.A.1.307 is the latest version. Why haven't I received this? I tried both with the software update app and the sony bridge application on the Mac. Am I'm missing something?

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Sadly not yet in the UK.

Sony are slow, slow, slow.

Slow is sometimes good.

It happened in the past that companies updated the whole world at once and the update was faulty.

That's how they learned to do staggered roll out

I downloaded 4.2.2 two days ago in PC Companion on the LTE version of the XZ tablet, in the UK. There was no OTA update at that time.
