It is no secret that Sony isn’t faring too well as far as its smartphone business is concerned. The company has been continuously revising its shipping estimates with each passing quarter. In fact, if we are to believe recent reports, Sony only managed to sell 600,000 handsets in all in the third quarter of 2019. To put that into perspective, Huawei, the current world number 2 sold that same amount of devices each day during the same period. Sony has also more or less given up on the Indian smartphone market and has stopped releasing phones here. Its last flagship handset – the Sony Xperia 1 – was never officially launched here in India. Even though things look bleak for the company in the smartphone space, Sony continues to support its old handsets as far as software updates go. In a recent blog post, Sony revealed that it will graduate as many as eight devices to Android 10. Of these eight handsets, two of the newer ones shall be updated just a month from now.
