With Android 7.0 Nougat finding its way onto more devices, Sony has officially announced its own rollout beginning now.

Sony has announced that the Android 7.0 Nougat update is rolling out to Xperia XZ and the Xperia Performance. The over-the-air (OTA) update begins today, and it will rollout in waves. With it, device owners will find multi-window support, to use two apps at once, and a brand new messaging app, plus more.

Here’s the new additions Sony points out in the announcement:

  • Multi-window support – multitasking made easy; run two apps simultaneously and double tap to switch between each
  • Longer battery life – do more for longer, with improved battery life powered by Google & Sony Xperia
  • Messaging – more ways to tell your story with our latest Messaging app, enabling you to share videos and audio with a few taps
  • Manual camera settings control – all-new manual focus and shutter speed controls, now available for Xperia X Performance
  • Home screen – a smarter and more personal Xperia home screen, with Google Now integration

The update’s rollout begins today, so if you own either of the devices, keep an eye out for it.
