TL;DR
- The Sony Xperia 1 VI is now receiving the stable Android 16 update.
- This is the £1,300 phone’s penultimate scheduled Android OS upgrade, despite launching last year.
Sony surprised us last month when it brought the Android 16 update to the Xperia 1 VII. Now, the company has followed up by bringing the new Android upgrade to last year’s flagship phone.
Sony Xperia 1 VI owners on the Xperia subreddit have reported the availability of the Android 16 update. This release appears to be limited to the likes of Bulgaria and Poland right now. So owners in other markets might have to wait a few days for a wider rollout.
