Xperia U will update to Ice Cream Sandwich in the coming weeks

Talking about Android devices and saying that Gingerbread is in version 2.3, you can almost say that it is something vintage. And more striking is if it is on top of devices that have been launched during this year 2012. However, that is the situation in which the Xperia U, the most entry-level smartphone that Sony launched earlier this year and has yet to upgrade to Android 4.0 ICS, despite the promise of the Japanese company. Well, now there are official words, which say that the update will arrive in the next few weeks.

Without a doubt, this is good news for all users who own a Sony Xperia U, which will soon be able to enjoy the latest news in Google's operating system for smartphones and tablets.

Specifically, Sony's words have come in a forum for questions to the company that has been held after the IFA in Berlin. Asked about this question, they have answered the following:

"The ICS rollout for Xperia U will kick-off within the next few weeks and rollout gradually - more information to follow soon!"

Which translated into Spanish means:

“The arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich for the Xperia U will begin to arrive in the coming weeks, and it will gradually expand. More information is coming soon! »

Update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Now the only thing left to do is to know what plans you have for the latest version of the operating system, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. And it is that, in reality, we do not have data on what Sony hopes to update. It seems clear that the Xperia P, S and the new Xperia T and V will update for sure. But all doubts come with the Xperia J models and this one Xperia U, and these two only have a RAM memory of 512 MB, just enough to run Ice Cream Sandwich, which makes us doubt whether the latest version will come out for these devices.
