Rogers rolling out Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for Sony Xperia ZL

Sony Xperia ZL customers on Canadian carrier Rogers are now getting the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean software update on their handsets.

Bell started to roll out the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean to its version of the Sony Xperial ZL earlier this month. Sony has now confirmed on its Twitter page that Rogers Canada is rolling out the latest Jelly Bean flavor to its Xperia ZL as well. 

"The #Android JB 4.2.2 update is now available for #XperiaZL on #Rogers via PC Companion, Bridge for Mac or Remote Update!" announced Sony on its Twitter page.

Sony launched the Xperia ZL along with the Xperia Z at the International CES earlier this year. The Xperia ZL comes pre-loaded with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and the latest Android 4.2.2 software update will bring the handset on par with other top-end handsets such as the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4.

In Canada, Sony released the Xperia ZL in March this year on various carriers. The Xperia Z, however, will be exclusive to Bell and is still waiting to make its way to consumers in the country.

The Sony Xperia ZL sports a 5-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution and a pixel density of 441 pixels-per-inch (ppi). The smartphone also features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter.

The Xperia ZL and the Xperia Z have very similar hardware specifications, but there are still some prominent differences between the handsets. The Xperia ZL is not water-resistant and dust-proof like the Xperia Z. The front-facing camera of the Xperia ZL, meanwhile, is located at the lower right corner of the handset, which is very different when compared to other handsets available in the market.

The Xperia ZL also has the IR blaster which, along with the accompanying app, allows the handset to serve as a remote control for a wide variety of TVs, home stereos and other electronics.

Rogers is currently offering the handset for free on a three-year contract and for $624.99 outright.
