Google’s post reads, “Sony has been working closely with us to bring you the N Developer Preview on Xperia for early testing and development.”

With Android Marshmallow having turned almost a year old and most Android devices still stuck on Lollipop and KitKat version, the Android N Preview can be seen as an effort to deliver faster OS updates.

For those interested in trying out N Preview on Xperia Z3, the latest preview build can be downloaded from here and then manually flashed to the device. Google says all future Developer Preview will be available as an OTA update.
