Sony Announces Updates To Its Jelly Bean Schedule: Xperia T, TX & V Will Have It By February Or March

Posted by in News, Sony

I suppose you have to give Sony credit for at least keeping its customers informed. Today, the manufacturer announced an update to its plans for bringing its phones up to Jelly Bean. If you're rocking the Xperia T, Xperia TX, or Xperia V, you should see Android 4.1 "during February and March." Of course, this will depend on what market you're in or which variant you own.

Following those flagships, the Xperia P, Xperia J and Xperia go will start to receive their upgrades starting around the end of March. Following that release, the Xperia S, Xperia SL, Xperia ion and the Xperia acro S will be updated "in the subsequent weeks." Of course, schedules are always subject to change, but all of this information lines up pretty well with what we've heard before from the company.

Posted by in News, Sony

Sony's just dropped a batch of bombshells on us today during an IFA press conference. Among the headlining new devices, the Xperia J which is being billed as an affordable smartphone with a "standout screen size." That "standout" size is 4", by the way. We're not entirely sure who Sony thinks they're going to impress with four inches, but the rest of the specs actually seem like a pretty good deal if the price is right.

Specifications

  • 9.2mm slim stylish design
  • 4.0" FWVGA (480x854) TFT display (244 ppi)
  • 1GHz Qualcomm MSM7227A (single core)
  • 5MP rear camera
  • DLNA certified
  • "Up to 4GB" flash storage, microSD expandable up to 32GB
  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

This device won't be winning any performance awards, but with a high-resolution display and what could be a decent camera, this may be just what international users are looking to pick up off-contract.
