Sony has announced that it has started rolling out an update for its Xperia XZ and X Performance smartphones. The company said that it is a minor update which bumps the version to 39.2.A.0.374 and offers some bug fixes.

This is the second update rolled out by the Japanese manufacturer. It is an OTA update and is being rolled out gradually for all the users.
