Sony's Android 5.0 Lollipop saga continues with another report confirming that the new firmware has been approved for the Xperia C, a smartphone not supposed to receive this upgrade.

According to XperiaBlog, Bluetooth SIG has just certified a new firmware version that's supposed to bring Xperia C3's operating system to Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The listing details mention a major update named “Wukon To L,” which translates to “Xperia C3 to Android 5.0 Lollipop.” Wukong is the codename of the Xperia C3, so this update is clearly for this smartphone.

Unfortunately, there's no telling when this update will hit Xperia C3 devices, but we reported earlier today that Sony would kick off the Android 5.0 Lollipop rollout sometime next week.

However, only Xperia Z devices have been confirmed to receive the Lollipop update, so we're expecting Sony to clarify the situation because for the time being everything seems so confusing.

On the one hand, the Japanese company says that it will not offer Lollipop to non-Xperia devices, while on the other hand, it tests Android 5.0 Lollipop for Xperia C3, which is a non-Xperia smartphone.

Let's hope Sony will come forward with an official statement regarding the Android 5.0 Lollipop update sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more on this one.
