While Android 4.1 Jelly Bean can be downloaded to some Sony Xperia handsets, some 2012 models will not receive the Jelly Bean update. The announced but not yet released smartphones Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V will receive the Jelly Bean update in Q1 2013. That is approximately four months from now.
The following Xperia smartphones will receive the update a little later.
- Xperia S
- Xperia Acro S
- Xperia P
- Xperia Go
- Xperia J
- Xperia Ion
Sony will get back with further info about the Jelly Bean availability for these handsets later.
These models will NOT get the Jelly Bean update:
- Xperia U
- Xperia Tipo
- Xperia Miro
- Xperia Neo L
- Xperia Sola
Sony Mobile did not say why these later models not will receive the update, only that "after thorough evaluation, we have concluded they will not be upgraded beyond Ice Cream Sandwich". You might notice that the first list consist of the most expensive and powerful handsets while those not receiving the update are entry-level to mid-range phones. Apart from the fact that Xperia P and Xperia U has the same 1 GHz dual-core ST-Ericsson U8500 processor but the Xperia U has only 512 MB RAM compared to the 1 GB in Xperia P. Xperia J has a 1 GHz single-core MSM7227A processor from Qualcomm but only 512 MB RAM and it will still receive the update.
