Sony says it will begin to rollout Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to a bunch of Xperia devices including Xperia P, Xperia Go and Xperia E Dual this week. As the rollout happens in phases, the process will take place over this month and next. The exact availability of the update will vary from one region to other.
Sony also announced that Xperia S, Xperia SL, Xperia Ion and Xperia Acro S are next in line to receive the update which will happen sometime by the end of May.
"The new software brings Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean", along with a number of different and improved Sony features. We've been working to blend our Sony Xperia software with Google's Jelly Bean release to create some cool user experiences," Sony says in an official blog post.
Some of the notable improvements coming along with the update include versions of Sony Media apps: Walkman, Album and Movies, Battery Stamina Mode, a feature to organize and search for apps in a new quicker way, an option to personalize users' phone even more with additional panes, and Google Now.
"In some cases - particularly for Xperia go users - we've only made the upgrade accessible via PC Companion or Bridge for Mac due to the size of some software packages, and these users will only receive an in-phone notification if running Ice Cream Sandwich," the blog says.
