Reworked app shortcuts and improved sound quality also join the list of new features Xperia X owners got. 

And lets not forget the main subject of this update - Android 8.0 and it's plethora of new features, for example the autofill option for faster login and picture-in-picture mode.

Included in the update plans is also Xperia Touch - the touch projector released by Sony. Meanwhile Samsung is yet to get Android 8.0 to their flagship, the Galaxy S8 - which has just ended it beta tests for the Oreo update.

Despite being released almost a year ago, Android 8.0 is yet to reach any meaningful part of the device base, reports stating that it is running only on 0.7% of all Android devices. The most popular version of Android is still 6.0, being present on ~30% of all Android devices.
