A few days back 23.2.A.1.62 firmware was spotted rolling in Hong Kong for Xperia Z3 D6553 as Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update. When Sony first rolled its Android 5.0.2 Lollipop 23.1.A.0.690 firmware on Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series there was no close button in recent apps section but on the next 23.1.A.0.726 firmware update Sony introduced a close button in recent apps section for the first time (written in rectangular box).

In this Hong Kong region only 23.2.A.1.62 Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update, a new close button has been put in by Sony in a circular shape and at the bottom of the recent apps section.
