The promised ICS update on Sony’s NXT smartphones that includes S, P and U are still right on schedule according to Sony. The Android update is expected to arrive this June with the Xperia U’s update slightly delayed and is expected to arrive by the 3rd quarter of the year.
Sony also has good news for their 2011 smartphone users. They mentioned that earlier handsets like Arc, Neo, Mini, Mini Pro, Pro, Active and SE Live with WalkMan will also be receiving the latest Android OS starting next week. Handsets like Arc S, Ray and Neo V which already got the Android 4.0.3 will also have an upgrade to 4.0.4 along with the aforementioned devices.
Sony also spilled the beans that Xperia Play will not get the same treatment as the other Sony smartphones. Although the update is possible, it will come at the price of compromising smooth gaming experience. They said that even after collaborating with various developers and advanced users, a stable gameplay is still beyond reach through ICS, hence forced to make the tough decision to withdraw the attempted update to the said handset.
This is definitely, great stuff for Sony users out there. As for the Xperia Play, I’d say that not going through with the update was the best decision at that situation. That handset was built with gaming in mind and it’s only fitting for it to provide a second to none performance in terms of gaming experience on a smartphone rather than having the latest OS. Stay tuned as we’ll post another article if this update officially lands in our shore.
