As well as unlocked variants, carrier-locked Sony Xperia 1 II smartphones have also started receiving the latest Android OS update in the UK. Users on Vodafone UK and O2 have confirmed receiving the OTA update.
Going by the roadmap shared by the company, Xperia 5 II and Xperia 10 II models are next in line for the update (end of January 2021), followed by Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 (Feb 2021).
