I can only say that this is the website of the biggest and most popular android magazine in germany. It's still your decision if you want to trust it.
You don't say?
There was another announcement saying some devices running 4.1 will go straight to 4.3 . the devices you mentioned are going to 4.2 and then 4.3

I'm so glad that I returned this Sony crap and I bought Nexus 10. I have already 4.3 Never again Sony device...
Wouldn't surprise me in the least, Tablet S didn't get JellyBean and Xperia S only got 4.1 when 4.2 was out for other branded devices.
welp that really blows, was really hoping sony would at least keep this tablet updated
Please be aware that Sony Mobile owns these devices and Sony VAIO owns the STS and XTS so Sony VAIO did not do this.

Can't see it being tegra 3. 4.3. on the old nexus 7 performs really well. Just laziness on Sony's part.
Tablet S was my last Sony product. Never again.

You expect sony to continue production of the xperia u and sola now? Especially when novathor has basically 'abandoned' the chipset?

So why Xperia P and Xperia GO, with the same board, has Jelly Bean stock? Cause Sony is no longer serious.

I was going to buy an Xperia S, but as i opened the development thread, i was shocked to see that there were only 3-4 custom Roms and only 2 were the ones which get constantly updated...?
SXS is sony flagship device, it should have got so many custom Roms till date, but it isn't really the case..
Can anyone explain why ?

Hello
I'm a glad Sony Xperia P user, wich have looked forward to the ICS update in quater 2, but as we all know the update has not been released yet.
Every day I get more and more confused about this....
I've tried to ask on Sony Mobile's Facebook page, their forum (talk.sonymobile.com) and every time they either post a link to this post on their blog http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...ream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/ wich as you see is from may. And it says nothing about the rollout for Xperia P, or they tell you to go to their Product Blog (same blog as the link above) and what you find there? Nothing but marketing things..... If you go to the specification page http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-p/specifications/ they still haven't changed the text "Upgrade to Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich, planned in Quarter 2 2012" although that we are faaaaaaaaaaar away from quater 2.
Secondly i'm pissed of over that Sony not even post an update on the development on the ICS update.....
Do you follow me or not?
Great weekend to you
A confused Xperia P user
To be honest my friend, I wouldn't hold much hope of ics on the p until late august and even possibly September.
The ics update for the xperia s is an unfinished product that still needs quite a few fixes.
Their performance in 2012 as far as software goes has pretty much shown that they are just poor on software. I rather say that than to think they do this deliberately to limit the number of upgrades they provide.
Learn the lesson now... Never take their word for it as far as upgrades go. They deliberately mislead. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after the x10 debacle but they have shown they don't deserve it
Don't but Sony for software especially android software. You'll be very frustratingly disappointed if you do.

Yeah thats your opinion, we shall see
My opinion is that this is pointless.. I mean Sony is listening to their customers but I don't think they will update their old devices considering how many devices they released this year. They will only update their dual core phones and maybe not all of them. They might as well update some of the new single core ones (like the Xperia J). Our phones are very capable of the Jelly Bean update but everything is just a marketing trick! They want us to buy their new phones.. and I'm not talking only about Sony. All manufacturers do that.

Xperia J is a weaker phone then Xperia Neo V, check the specs and its a single core, so why we dont get JB instead of the Xperia J,

As we know Sony has decided not to upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Xperia U and Sola. It included, however, in the list Xperia J (which has a much lower hardware) and the Go (that has a hardware identical to the two above). We do not agree, it is not right.More we are, better it is: we sign this petition!!!
Linnk sign: http://www.activism.com/it_IT/petizione/vogliamo-jelly-bean-per-xperia-u-e-sole/41354
I read this too and i dont think that they can let behing two devices such as U and Sola with less than a few months and the same hardware as the ones that are getting the new upgrade next year. I was thinking in sonyericsson xperia play that was decided that ICS wont be upgrated on this device and a few months sony realease a beta of it, but in that casa was because the playstation device popularity was on it. I don´t think this will be the case with xperia U & Sola.
Can any one tell me if It is going to be possible install the upgrade to Jelly Bean from Xperia P or Go to the Xperia U & Sola??
Guys, I think that Blogger is lost in drugs, because if Sony ever release jelly bean for p and go, they definitely will release for u and sola because all four shares the same riogrande code. Even if they don't want to make official, we can make it work it with source code.

I'm not an owner of any of those phones,I own a 2011 series device,but i know how you feel,they said the same lie about 2011 line,and then,they announced that ****ty Xperia E phone,2010 spec'd which will come with Jellybean. This is the global petition (in english) for upgrading your phones to Jellybean. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/jellybean-update-for-xperia-u-and-xperia-sola.html
I signed the global one, the other one is in italian.
Sony seems not interested in porting jelly bean for U and Sola, its silly they cant make it work on these phones - this ROM is made by google for every phone.
"Sony Mobile We are sorry about this inconvenience.
The quality of Xperia’s software experience is dependent on a number of factors including: screen resolution, hardware platform and RAM. In the case of Xperia go, this combination came together in a way that meant the user experience running JB was not adversely affected.
Unfortunately, in the case of Xperia tipo, Xperia miro , Xperia U and Xperia sola this wasn’t the case – so we made the decision to keep them on Ice Cream Sandwich.-Francis."
So,because of the phone resolution they can't upgrade it to JB...Hmm,i say that they should make phones only with 128x128 resolution,with that resolution,they surely can update to any version of Android.

Sola has better display than xgo ( 480x854 sola, 320x480 for xgo), apart this they are the same. Buy a Galaxy Nexus or a Galaxy S II if you want something better
Well if still want a sony device try go,atleast itll be updated to JB

In my opinion, Sola is great phone (I'm Sola owner, for now), but the problem is the RAM , only 512mb ~ 100 to use !!
I'm willing to exchange it with P ,as it has 1GB Ram, Larger screen, second camera, 8mp camera, JB SW is on the way,,
So yes, go for Xperia P
I would choose the Xperia Z, it is a great phone, probably the best phone available right now.
Then, if he do not want a Sony phone do no ask in a Sony forum, look for the galaxy forums.
you may always want to look for phones made of qualcomm chipsets rather than novathor, mediatek etc. we are struggling to have the latest OS coz there are no sources for novathor.
