Sony begins rolling out Nougat update for Xperia X Performance

The Sony Xperia X Performance is the first in the Xperia lineup of smartphones to begin getting the over-the-air update to Android 7.0 Nougat. The update has reportedly begun rolling out in some sections of the world for the phone, along with its Dual SIM variant.

The report comes from the unofficial Xperia Blog, which says the firmware number for the Nougat update is 39.2.A.0.327. There’s no word on which regions of the world are getting the update for the Xperia X Performance, but we hopefully will learn more information soon.

This is just the latest example of Android 7.0 Nougat OTA updates hitting smartphones. It has started rolling out to the LG G5 on T-Mobile earlier this week, and a few days ago owners of the unlocked HTC10 began to receive the same download. Samsung began beta testing its Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge a few weeks ago, and the third beta version began rolling out a few days ago.

Do you own the Sony Xperia X Performance and, if so, have you started downloading and installing the Android 7.0 Nougat update?
