June 4, 2013 By Micheal Baptiste 1 Comment

It has been a long wait for some of the 2013 Sony Xperia devices to get the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. Sony Mobile has just announced the update for Sony Xperia S, Xperia SL (LT26ii) and the Acro S (LT26w). It made the announcement via Twitter. The Xperia Ion, the AT&T version of Xperia S, is next in the queue.

XperiaBlog shows screenshots of the announced update confirming that an Android 4.1 update with firmware build 6.2.B.0.200 has been rolled out to Xperia S devices in France. Xperia S owners can avail the update via Sony PC Companion software. Sony Brazil is asking Xperia owners – Xperia S, Xperia J e, Xperia P and Xperia E – to expect the update in June. An XDA Developer member has unveiled a pre-rooted ROM for the aforementioned model numbers of Xperia S and Xperia L, but installation is at the user’s risk.

Among the key enhancements, the update will provide a smoother UI, two home screen modes, bi-directional text and additional language support. Multi-Windows facility, similar to that in Galaxy Note 2, will allow multitasking. Page Buddy, Google Now, Direct call, Pop-up play and Smart Stay are some of the additional features. A Smart Rotation feature will adjust the display in accord with the viewing angle. The notifications panel will get additional customization options.

It has been some time since the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean version made its debut, but it has yet to appear on many latest handsets or the so-called flagship devices. Those still running the Android Ice Cream Sandwich version, including Sony’s 2013 line-up, have been waiting patiently for their turn. The roll out will likely arrive region-by-region over a few weeks. Xperia Ion users will have to be on the lookout till a precise date of the update is announced.

Sony announced Jelly Bean update for Sony Xperia S almost six months back. Reportedly, Android v.4.1 update for Xperia S will be arriving in May. This software update was visible on North American PTCRB forum. Appearance of this update on this wireless authentication website is basically a good indicator of the upcoming Android update being ready-for-release.

The update will be arriving on Xperia SL and Acro S alongside Xperia S. However, there are chances that the update may have been postponed to the latter half of June. A Russian Sony Mobile employee, Dmitry Lazarev quoted that the update may arrive late in June instead of May. But his statement does not clarify whether he is referring to the update’s arrival in Russia or US.

Jelly Bean update will integrate some interesting specs into Sony Xperia S, which include ‘Gesture Mode’ and ‘TalkBack’. ‘TalkBack’ is a funny feature that reads out screen’s content to the user. ‘Gesture Mode’ aids blind or low vision users to navigate through the device via swipe and touch gestures alongside speech input.

The Jelly Bean 4.1 Android update will also enhance the performance level of Sony Xperia S. Home screen motions and application management will be much smoother with this beneficial software update. Sony has not officially announced anything over this update and its release date. It may arrive within a week or in late June.

The finalized build number for all three devices, Xperia S, SL and Acro S is 6.2.B.0.200. The update will probably be an OTA (Over-the-Air) update. Meanwhile, Sony Xperia S features a 4.3 inches display and a 12 MP super HD camera. The smartphone primitively operated on Android Gingerbread, v2.3 and was upgraded to Android Ice Cream Sandwich v.4.0.4. Hopefully, Android Jelly Bean 4.1 update will arrive soon implanting some exciting specs into this utility device.
