Pushing out regular updates play a major role in creating a loyal fan base when it comes to smartphones. Sony has been rolling out regular updates for its mid-range devices for a while now, and the latest update to roll out from the Japanese smartphone brand is for the Sony Xperia T3 phablet. 
The Android 4.4.4 KitKat update will bear a build number 18.1.A.2.25 for the LTE models (D5103 and D5106). However, the update which will be rolled out in India will bear a build number 18.1.A.2.32, targeted for the more conventional and widely sold 3G HSPA+ model (D5102).
The phablet was launched back in July in India at a price of Rs 27,990 but the passage of time and not-so-great sales of the device have resulted in Sony bringing its price down to Rs 19,390 and it is available for as low as Rs 17,500 across some of the e-commerce stores. The main talking point of the device in addition to the mid-range specs is the fact that it has a stainless steel frame and the build quality is on the better side of things for a mid-ranger.
