Sony Xperia X Becomes First Non-Google Smartphone To Upgrade To Android 7.1.1 Nougat, But Not All Units

Sony Xperia X Becomes First Non-Google Smartphone To Upgrade To Android 7.1.1 Nougat
The Sony Xperia X is the first smartphone, excluding Google's Pixel and Nexus devices, to receive an upgrade to Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
However, not all Xperia X units will be getting the mobile operating system update, as the Android 7.1.1 Nougat upgrade is only available through the Concept Android build of Sony.
Sony's Concept For Android Software Program

In November, Sony brought Android 7.0 Nougat to the Xperia X through the Concept for Android program. The builds that are released under the program are experimental, and are meant to provide users with a method for testing new software closer to the stock version of Android compared to the stable releases of the operating system that Sony rolls out for its devices.
The Xperia X Concept firmware has since received a couple of updates, but the latest one that was rolled out under the program is found to be based not on Android 7.0 Nougat, but rather on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. The Android 7.1.1 Nougat MR1 update carries the build number 38.3.A.0.41, and adds features related to the operating system update to the Xperia X.
Technically, this makes Sony the second mobile device manufacturer after Google rolls out the latest version of the Android operating system, despite the very limited release of the update.
