Recently, Sony has released a testing version of Android Concept ROM based on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop for few select Xperia Z3 users in Sweden. Sony’s new take on Android has some significant differences from Sony’s customized version of Android for its Xperia range of devices. It brings near stock Android (ASOP) look and feel to Xperia Z3 along with some of Sony’s most popular features and apps.

According to users who have already installed the OS, the ROM is very fast and stable. It is similar to stock Android 5.1.1 packed with some Sony’s apps and Google apps. However, the ROM misses some of the best features of Sony, such as the Stamina mode, Themes support, Double Tap to Wake and Screen Recording.
