Everything that has a beginning has an end, and the same goes for smartphone updates. Although Sony is bringing the Xperia X to the latest Android 7.1.2 Nougat build with an upcoming Concept update (limited to Europe), it's going to put an and to Concept updates for that model next month. So if you got used to rocking the latest Android on that handset, you are going to have to pay your respects and move on.Sony's concept updates are a bit of a wild card in that they serve perfectly functional versions of pure Android but aren't really meant as your daily driver. Rather, they are a way for Sony to test features and get user feedback before implementing them in the official firmware.This way, Sony users get a Nexus-like experience while helping the company do due diligence, which is a win for both sides. But Sony has no interest in maintaining Concept update programs longer than it has to, which is why the Xperia X is getting axed out of the program. Users of the official firmware need … [Read more...] about No more Concept updates for the Sony Xperia X from May

Last year, one of the more persistent rumors in the Android world was that Google had plans to greatly expand the Nexus line of devices, and might have planned to release as many as five new Nexus devices last year. Obviously the timing of the rumor was off, but it looks like that rumor wasn't completely inaccurate, and is coming around in a surprising way. Google has already announced two Google Edition models of flagship devices, and rumor has it that Sony may be the next up to join the program. So, who else needs to get in on this movement?
