Sony Xperia T will not get official Android 4.4.4 KitKat update, but you can update it to Android 4.4.4 KitKat with CM 11 official ROM and enjoy features like the Heads Up notification, new theme engine and more. The following method shows you how to update your Sony Xperia T to Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
Sony Xperia T is a decent phone. It powers a 1.5 GHz dual core processor with 1GB RAM, so installing CM 11 official ROM will not slow down it. However, please note that, currently CM11 (M9) is a nightly build, which means it will contain some bugs.
