Sony's Xperia update to Android 4.3. We know the first details - Computer World (press release)

Whenever

debut a new version of Android (in this case 4.3 Jelly Bean), the key issue is the matter of renovation. For Sony, this time we have a really quick response and should be appreciated. The day after the release of the newest views Jelly Bean, the Japanese rather boldly draw an initial roadmap. So far, no deadlines and concrete, but with an open list of models of smartphones and tablets, which can count on update to Android 4.3 .

So where are we?

Sony is currently being made available to users of its smartphones Xperia Z and Xperia ZL Android 4.2. In August, plans to update the Xperia Tablet Tablet Z . All three devices were included on the white list to upgrade to version 4.3.

addition to a certainty (and thus update to 4.3) can count holders ZR Xperia , Xperia SP , and the Ultra Xperia . So in a nutshell what the plans for today, and the manufacturer does not preclude the expansion of the list of new models in the near future. As we can read on the official blog of Sony, developers will examine whether it is possible to jump directly from Android 4.1 to 4.3. This would allow for an update of a much broader group of Sony smartphones without Android 4.2.

situation in brief is as follows. If you have one of the top models Xperia smartphones and already got or wait for the update to Android 4.2 (Z-series models and the latest mediocre such as the Xperia Xperia M or C), you can almost certainly count on an update to 4.3. If your smartphone is stuck on Android 4.1 (even Xperia T, Xperia S, Xperia J), should be waiting for further information from Sony. If you and the Xperia Android 4.0 ICS (eg: Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia him) rather forget about 4.3.

question of when Sony intends to release Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for their smartphones and tablets for the moment remains unanswered. Given that the current producer is being updated 4.1 to 4.2, the whole process probably takes several months. If I had to choose a date, I would put at the end of the year – the fourth quarter and probably not before.

> Smartphone with 3 GB of RAM hit the market later this year
