Sony along
with the
announcement
of an Android 4.4 KitKat update on Wednesday for its
Xperia T2
Ultra and
Xperia T2 Ultra Dual handset, also brought the option to move
applications to the microSD card.
Xperia T2 Ultra users are
reporting that with the Android 4.4 KitKat update, they can now access
the Move to SD Card feature, from Settings > Apps. As Sony had also
announced upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat updates for the Sony Xperia E1, Xperia M2, and Xperia M2 Dual, it appears the company will bring the option to
these devices as well. It is also possible current Xperia smartphones
running Android 4.4 KitKat may receive a similar update for the feature.
Also,
with the Android 4.4 KitKat update, users report (via Xperia Blog) that the settings section, along with All, Downloaded, and
Running applications, also includes the Apps on SD Card filter.
While
we haven't got the hold of a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra handset running
Android 4.4 KitKat yet, Xperia Blog has posted a few screenshots
post-update, and interestingly, Sony appears to have been inspired by
Google's Android L preview, using what appears to be Material
Design-style to its Back, Home and App switcher icons.

specifications, except that the latter features an extra SIM card slot
in addition. Sony had

Bean in January this year, along with the Xperia E1.
