Sony pushed the Android 14 update to the Xperia 1 V, its mainstream-sized flagship, in early November, and for some reason it took another two months for it to reach the smaller flagship device company’s Xperia 5 V. The lower-end Xperia 10 V got it a week after the 1 V, for comparison.
All’s well that ends well? Today, Sony’s official Instagram account announced that Android 14 is finally available on the Xperia 5 V. It’s definitely about time.
The update brings with it everything Google included in the Android 14 release, of course. Additionally, you get support for using the LED flash on the back as a notification light, but also for flashing the screen to draw your attention to notifications or alarms. The Xperia 5 V is now compatible with the Find My Device app, which lets you find it easily, as the name suggests, but also lock it and wipe its contents remotely.
There’s also an expanded Nearby Sharing feature that lets you send files from your Windows computer to your phone without cables, and you also have customizable lock screen shortcuts.

Keep in mind that such rollouts are usually done in batches, so even if your particular Xperia 5 V unit hasn’t received the notification yet, it will definitely arrive within the next few days.
