Does anybody happen ot know when this build will come out in the UK (Open market UK version)?

So no fixes for the reported longstanding issues? If Nougat sorted the double tap to wake problem, improved the camera or dramatically improved battery life then I would update....but as my phone is performing admirably with no serious issues I'm loathe to tempt fate and install what amounts to beta software. Apple is the same, the very first iteration of a new version of iOS is always a bugfest. It's best to wait a few months until a more stable version is released.

Dude please update the phone.. It's not a beta software... The phone is performing really better... You will definitely get better battery life n enjoy all Nougat features

Biggest disappointment till now

1 No change in loudness of speaker
2 Double tap to wake still not fixed
3 Camera software feels untouched

Seems like Sony have basically just ported Android 7.0 to the phone and not addressed any of the phone's issues. How can they be so slack? Does nobody at Sony use the XZ? Do no Sony staff read this forum? Do the Sony helpdesk staff not forward reported issues to their engineers? I reported the double tap to wake fault a month ago via Sony support online chat, and there is a massive thread on this forum too. Shoddy. Apple would have patched this fault within one month.

I'm fine with just porting if Sony promises to update the phone with a patch sometimes later this year

I chose the XZ over the S7e purely because of it having no home button and double tap to wake. I passed on a much better camera, better battery life, more RAM and the best screen in the business purely for this. So for Sony to send three updates now and still not address it....

S7e screen is not better than Xz... Trust me I compared it... Xz just blows it away with its colors.
