Sony’s mid-range Xperia 10 II gets a stable Android 12 update

Towards the end of last month, Sony rolled out stable Android 12 updates for the Xperia 10 III and Xperia Pro-I. The update brought all new Android 12 features to the devices, along with the February 2022 Android security patches. Sony is now rolling out a similar update to the older Xperia 10 II, but it packs newer security patches.

The Android 12 update for the Sony Xperia 10 II has started rolling out to users in Southeast Asia. It has a size of about 900MB and has a version number of 59.2.A.0.422. As mentioned earlier, the update brings all the new Android 12 features to the device, but it doesn’t contain the older February 2022 security patches. Instead, Sony is shipping the update with the March 2022 patches.

A screenshot of the update was shared on reddit It further reveals that the update will not affect user data. In addition, it also reveals that users will not be able to roll back to their previous Android 11 version after installing the update. Sony hasn’t shared a release schedule for other regions at this time, but we expect the company to release the update to other regions over the next few weeks. If you haven’t received the update already, you can check it manually by heading to the Software updates section of your device’s settings.

Alternatively, you can download the full firmware package using the . file Xperifirm Tool by XDA Senior Member IgorEisberg. After downloading the firmware package, you can install it on your phone using Flashtool (GUI) or Newflasher (CUI).

For those unaware, Android 12 is a massive update that brings a lot of features and improvements. You can expect to see new additions like updated materials you create, a revamped quick settings panel, privacy dashboard, new home screen widgets, camera and microphone privacy indicators, and more on Xperia 10 II after installing the update.
