Sony is now seeding Android 15 to Xperia 1 V

Shortly after Android 15 rolled out, Sony was quick to release the newest OS to its Xperia 1 VI flagship model and now the 2023 top-tier model Xperia 1 V is getting the Android 15 treatment.

Sony's support page for the Xperia 1 V indicates that Android 15 is now rolling out and brings several changes to the system. For instance, you can take advantage of Private space, new wallpapers and home screen/lock screen styles, new Side Sense features, a redesigned quick settings panel and notification shade, new pop-up windows, Bluetooth broadcasting over Bluetooth LE Audio and more.

It's important to note that this is the end of the road for Xperia 1 V. The handset will no longer receive major software updates, just security patches from now on. The handset launched with Android 13 and is now getting its latest Android 15 upgrade.

Oh, the justifications for not wanting long-term, yearly software updates; lol.
