I lay awake at night, wondering what’s changed.

Android July 2020 security patch released

Available on Xperia 1, Xperia 5, Xperia 10 II, Xperia XZ3, and Xperia XZ2 series

As usual, it’s unclear what, if anything has changed with the update, but if history is any indication, don’t expect any feature changes. Instead, as the title suggests, it’s all about under-the-hood security tweaks.
