After Samsung, Sony has become the next OEM to release its iteration of stable Android 14 OS. Sony has started pushing the stable Android 14 update for Xperia 1 V, making it the second non-Pixel device to receive the stable update.
Sony has announced the Android 14 update for Xperia 1 V on its official site. Currently, the stable Android 14 update for Xperia 1 V is only rolling out in the UK and the EU but more regions are expected to receive the update in the coming days and weeks.
The major update for Xperia 1 V (XQ-DQ54) comes with the build number 67.1.A.2112. As this is a major update, it’ll weigh a lot (more than a GB) so ensure that you have enough mobile data or you’re using Wi-Fi before you download and install the update.
What’s new in the stable Android 14 update for Xperia 1 V?
The stable Android 14 update for Xperia 1 V brings in an improved Bekoh mode, which is a popular feature of the Xperia 5 V. Moreover, the Video Creator feature is also a part of the update. The video creator app will make it simple for you to create short videos, compile them, or edit them.
Sony states that the new and improved Bokeh mode will promise to elevate your portrait pictures closer to professional camera quality. The addition delivers high-quality images with the added ability to decrease focus in the background for emphasizing objects in the foreground, producing an extremely artistic effect. The Bokeh mode feature is available on a 24mm lens and 48mm focal length as well.
As with almost every Android update, this update will be rolled out gradually. So it might be possible that you don’t get the update immediately but it’ll show up on your device a few days later. Check for the update by going to the Settings. There might be instances when the update doesn’t appear in notifications as soon as it becomes available, so checking for the update manually from time to time will keep you notified.
