No.
Google never released any statements about support, and you certainly will not get updates when the nexus line do.
Sony Mobile Communications are in control of updates for this device. Not Google.

Honestly I would get a HOX if I was to buy a phone right now. After the issues at launch it seems like HTC has ironed out all the hardware issues. The latest update bringing ICS 4.04( previously 4.03) and sense 4.1 has tremendously improved the smoothness of the UI and battery life. It's now very much comparable to the SGS3 and far ahead of the XS. The SLCD2 is the best on the market at the moment too.
I dont mind Sony Phones running last year software on last year hardware, but WTF with charging the same price with devices that use latest hardwares and softwares. And Sony doesnt even update their softwares on time.
Anyway watch this video review for more information:

Or, to make it easier, maybe just have a look at this link
But thinking that this experiment by Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru means that Sony Mobile will give full control over the Xperia S's rom to Google would be "somewhat odd" to say the least.
No!! you will regeret if you buy SAMSUNG! I have an S3 and Xperia S. Xperia S is much smoother even though it's full of apps, my S3 is brand new I bought it in Samsung Store but it lags. and I noticed that the screen of my Xperia S has natural colors. S3's screen is over saturated! It feels like I have a cheap China phone when I have my S3. I want to sell the crap S3!!

Trust me I am one of the biggest Sony fan but I am really blown away by S3's performance..

LMFAO hahaha that's great. I'm afraid you guys are right.. but to further speculate, it looks like a miniature Samsung TV.
The real star here though is the brand new Exynos dual core a15 CPU coupled with that Mali t604 GPU. Also, 1600p screen?? Can you guys see why I'm drooling over it now? Lol throw in the new version of Android to top it off.. I need another tissue.

It looks like a mix of the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Tab 10.1. The Exynos 5512 (I think that's what it's called) processor is amazing. It's the same processor found in the new Chromebook.
i hope its in the $400 range so i can sell my ipad 2 and contribute towards the proceeds.
just seen the back of the nexus 10. yeah it is kinda ugly.
Man screw tablets! I want to see the next Nexus PHONE!
Now that's what I'm drooling for. 2 more days and we'll see exactly what is in that beast (considering pics of what it looks like already 'leaked').

That's what I said about Samsung and seeing their iteration of the Nexus (all plastic). Pretty much came to terms with ****ty build quality now (I've been skipping out on all Nexus' since the N1, so can't really wait any longer heh)... I'll give LG a chance. They most likely stepped their game up if Google is considering them for their next flagship device.

Meant in terms of software (didn't they have plenty of driver problems?), can't really comment on its build quality as I've never even seen an Optimus in person. Like I said though, I'm pretty much used to 100% plastic devices with fake metal looking bezels now...
Lol, i was kinda in the market to buy a Cube U30GT, but after this... meh will probably end up with the nexus 10 Price will tell...

The hardware in LG phones is second to no one.. However their software if behind the rest of the pack. Imo.. also I had an lg phone before and when you flashed new software on it you were unable to roll back to previous versions of android or u will brick your phone. I Apparently this is common with LG.. I am hoping that this phone is as kick ass as its hyped to be but I have my doubts

Just saw this on MobileSyrup, looks like there may be another Samsung Nexus phone in the works called the Nexus 3. According to some pics that were uploaded on Picasa using the Nexus 3 by Samsung. Interesting, but 3.2MP camera? Probably not a finished device yet.

I'm asking for your opinion on the device with Stock Android Experience.
Not asking if I should buy it or not.
They would have to use lower spec parts to fit with the Nexus Line prices.
Edit: Nvm its offering at $650. WOW!

I agree. It would be really nice to finally see these great phones running aosp without the need for a custom rom.
Hopefully, this one is going to come to Canada eventually...
Frankly I think it is good that they are doing this but I would rather have a nexus 5.
I'm hoping for nexus 4 prices with
2.3GHz processor
2+GB RAM
5.3 inch FHD Screen
32GB storage
Metal build
Key lime pie
Multi window
Then and only then will i replace my nexus 4. Dont really care about fhd though and the s4 is no faster than my OCed nexus 4
It will be incredible if google goes with the Exynos 5 Octa
Will this come with other features from the original s4?? Not the touch wiz but other stuff

I like the idea, but not the price (and based on the audience reaction...neither did they). I mean you can get an unlocked HTC One for around $560ish. From there, one could root/ROM it and be good to go. Now if the price drops to say $500 or less, I'd be willing to shell out the cash. Which I hope the price point will change. This is a great start to offering a bloat free device, without having to root/ROM it. This would be great if other manufacturers followed suit.
Good move nonetheless!
A true Nexus Samsung phone would be the only way I'd buy another Samsung phone. Getting rid of Touchwiz is easy, but I just can't deal with the lagging of releasing updates.
Boo... too expensive, too mainstream, to dang normal. Optimus g pro version would be nice that's bad ass or version of Sony z... both would be better all around and could be at $500 Google price. I was so disappointed! I just returned my nexus 4 thinking they were going to release something better. I'll stick with my note!!

I kinda regret it now. When buying, i was enticed by the specs and i thought: "this phine is awesome! No regrets buying it! Better than my laggy neo v!" now, the battery life is not good, its lagging now on jb moonbreaker 3.5. Kinda regret not choosing something better. Although we have awesome devs (thanks! ), i feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced for the specs, and taking on account that we don't have official support from roms like CyanogenMod, SlimBean, Paranoid Android etc. Just wanna hear your views here.

Why did I buy:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
When i bought this phone - I wanted one with a screen size around 4-4.3 inches.
I narrowed it down to the Xperia S, Xperia P & the HTC One S.
I played around with all three and narrowed it down to the Xperia P. The price difference for the Xperia S & the One S was too much to justify.
Although i expected more official CyanogenMod support - I understand the lack of NovaThor support is what's the reason behind it.
With CM10.1 by @percy_g2 - the phone finally runs as i expected it to - smooth as butter.
I'm perfectly good with the phone and don't see any need to upgrade either - so long as percy fixes Bluetooth
The battery seems to be the one crippling factor for this phone though - I have made a habit to keep a charger handy and I do get 3-4 hours of screen on time which isn't shabby at all.
Cheers,
Ray
Yeah sort of, the battery life is worse than I thought and the white magic isn't that special... next time i go Samsung or Nexus
i regret spending €140 on a phone that wont be provided with JB by Sony
Don't regret , in some time we will have a blast in dev selection with new roms , i just need build server access from xda .I have applied and waiting.
Development these days needs lots of bandwidth with good speed which i don't have .
Build server will help in fast development and more things will come :angel: .
I'm so poor Need a little high end with cheap so I got this Xperia U I'm regret but this is what I deserves :crying:

Regret, and the main reason are locked bootloaders;( The 2nd one is that it has novathor chipset

No regret at all, 100 pounds for completely new Xperia U is very good. Batterry life is good - 2 days with moderate use.

Locker bootloader? Lol, just unlock it! It's so easy!
No regret for buying Xperia U, Its runs great on gingerbread! On ICS its OK......
No regrets. I bought my Xperia U on day one for 199 euros, it was a best buy... Really GREAT performance on GB, worse on ICS, even a lot BETTER on JB (thank you kontini... You saved my phone!). Really sad the missed update to jb, sony is really bad to this... But i'll buy another sony because of fantastic design, and xperia are really easy moddable.
My next phone will be Sony Xperia Z, probably on november. I hope xD
Having mixed feelings about this phone, better rom support (=>availability of novathor sources) would have been nice.
But with cm10.1 it is a lot smoother than it used to be and battery life also has been a lot worse with stock.
I like the phones screen, I hate white magic, camera is decent, performance is not ideal.
This phone isn't bad, but could have been a lot better.
I don't regret buying this phone: The price wasn't bad and I won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that he meant he has a "unlock allowed = no" phone.
Coming from a Galaxy Ace-i, I'm completely satisfied Bought my white XU in February at €169, it was on sale, I hope it'll last a lot because I love it, the only "cons" are the quite small screen and the RAM problems on JB, but it's a great phone! Sony totally captured me, my next phone will be another Xperia :3
My classmate always tells me that my phone looks like a toy phone conpared to his Galaxy S4, but I reply that, at least, mine doesn't look like a plastic frying pan
I love my XU
