Last week sony announced Android 5.1 update for its Xperia line up which took a lot of time and Now SONY proved that even sony is in the track by releasing Android M developers preview for a dozen of its phone
The big news here is that it has provided the binaries for Android M, which are basically the driver packages that make the phone’s essential hardware work with the software. However, Sony hasn’t yet implemented support for the camera or cellular modem on Android M, so this certainly won’t be your daily driver.
Flashing Android M does not look to be overly complicated. All you will need to download is the file itself, binaries, and then verify your apps upon completion. Do note, Sony stresses that these builds are not meant for daily usage. You will need an unlocked bootloader, and in addition, the modem and the camera have not been implemented.
