As projected, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has begun to land on Sony's Xperia S series mobiles. The range that makes up the most powerful of the Japanese firm's catalog thus complies with the commitment that the company itself had adopted. Recall that Sony sources announced weeks ago that it would be in the second half of June when the Sony Xperia S would begin to be updated to what, today, is the most complete and recent edition of the Google platform for smartphones .
The Japanese company began the update process on June 21, which has already been incorporated into the units identified with up to ten numbering SI ”” acronyms that respond to Sales Item , which indicates the item to which the model belongs that the user has in his power ””. The SI is an eight - digit code that is available to the remove the back cover and battery, printed on a sticker identifying information of the terminal. If your Sony Xperia S unitIt is not among the ten models that the firm has already included in the update process, be patient: in the coming days it will be added to the set of devices ready to receive Android 4.0.
When the Sony Xperia S was presented, back in January of this year, within the framework of CES 2012 in Las Vegas, it was already announced that despite going on the market with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it would be possible to update it with the version that only a couple of months before, the new flagship developed by Google and Samsung, the Galaxy Nexus, had already been seen jointly. Despite everything, they did not say when the update would be available. Currently, the Sony Xperia S joins other terminals in the range that have already begun to present the new version for installation.
At the moment, it has not yet been confirmed with exactitude if the Sony Xperia S models that have been distributed in Spain are part of the game whose SI indicates the option of being able to update the terminal since last June 21. From the national division of the company there has been no clarification in this regard, although as soon as the data is known, we will be able to share it with you.
The Sony Xperia S is device bearing a screen of 4.3 inches and a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. These values give the mobile the distinction of having the screen with the highest density of dots per inch on the market, above the award-winning Retina panel of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. It also incorporates a 12.1 megapixel camera with an Exmor-R sensor, capable of filming video sequences with FullHD quality. The Sony Xperia S effectively exploits the possibilities of the NFC proximity communication system. To do this, it makes use of configurable labels, with which, once defined, it is enough for us to contact the terminal so that it assumes a specific profile, activating and deactivating options without having to navigate through the terminal menus.
