Sony recently announced that it would roll out only one major software update to the Xperia 1 III and a monthly security update for two years.

While some would ignore this news, others would be wondering how Sony will compete with big giants whole keeps on rolling updates to their flagships.

Every news breaker and owner of this device is thinking the same. We also know that companies that were lousy to roll out software updates are now pricing up. And it is too strange to know that Sony is stepping back,
