Sony has started rolling out a new update to its Xperia XA Ultra smartphone. It’s a minor update that arrives as build number 36.0.A.2.146 for the single-SIM variants and 36.0.B.2.146 for the dual-SIM variants. Sadly, the official change-log isn’t currently accessible, so it’s difficult to say exactly what changes the update brings along.
