Sony Xperia 10 VI To Miss Out On Previously Promised Android 17 Upgrade

Sony's Xperia 10 VI, launched two years ago with Android 14, was initially promised three major OS upgrades. However, Sony has now announced it will not provide the final update, Android 17, for the Xperia 10 VI. In an apology notice on its official website, the company stated that a thorough technical assessment revealed the device would not be able to support an adequate Android 17 upgrade experience, primarily due to its storage configuration.

The Xperia 10 VI, equipped with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, may face difficulties due to limited storage or slower type of storage, although the exact reason remains unknown. Despite this, the company has confirmed that the security update commitment for the Xperia 10 VI remains unchanged, and other Xperia models will receive the Android 17 update as scheduled.
