Sony has started rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo update for its Xperia X, Xperia X dual and Xperia X compact smartphones. The updates are now live over-the-air (OTA) and will gradually reach all Xperia X, X dual and compact owners over the coming days. These are the fifth, sixth and seventh phones from the company to get Oreo. Sony has already released Android 8.0 update for Xperia XZ Premium, Xperia XZ, XZs and X Performance smartphones.

If you own any of three phones, you can head over to Settings > About phone > Software update to manually look for the update. The Oreo updates are around 1.2GB in size.
