Sony abandons development of xperia home

The vast majority of brands on Android make use of a personalization layer on their phones. In the case of Sony phones we have Xperia Home. Although it seems that this customization layer will soon be part of the past. Because the firm has announced that they are abandoning its development. So no new features are going to be introduced.

Xperia Home becomes part of the past

With this decision, the customization layer is in a maintenance phase. This means that Xperia Home will not be updated with new functions, there will be no new features in it. Although Sony will carry out maintenance on it, so that everything works properly on phones. In addition, they maintain their commitment to Android and phones.

Therefore, the new phones of the Japanese firm that reach the market will not carry Xperia Home. This has triggered the rumors that the firm could bet on using Android One on its devices.

Considering that they are abandoning the development of their personalization layer, it is not so crazy to think that Sony is going to bet then on using Android One. Since this way it is not necessary to use any layer. The question is whether this will happen or not, so we will have to wait to know more.
