Sony Xperia P, U, Go and Sola Finally Get Ice Cream Sandwich Update

Sony announced today that it is rolling out updates to a number of its Xperia line of phones: the Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia Go and Xperia Sola. Sorry, you’re not getting Jelly Bean yet—that likely won’t be until 2013—but at least if you’re running Gingerbread on your Xperia P you’ll finally be getting Ice Cream Sandwich.

Some changes will obviously vary depending on which device we are using.Sony mentions improvements to stability, camera, messaging, Wi-Fi, NFC and tethering and hotspot functionality. Aside from that, the only updates mentioned are performance tweaks and bug fixes.

Users of the Xperia U, Xperia Go and Xperia Sola will be able to download the update over the air, assuming they have already upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. If amyone still running Gingerbread will have to use PC Companion or Bridge for Mac.

For Xperia P users,apparently get a notification when the update is ready, but according to Sony “direct availability in the phone may vary across different markets and carriers.”
