We have already passed 18 months since the Sony Xperia S was presented, and the Japanese firm keeps it on its update sheet. This being the case, it is not surprising that what we could understand as an improved heir, the Sony Xperia SL, will also receive improvements in the system. But let's not throw the bells flying. These devices will not receive Android 4.2 as a result of the update that is expected at the end of this month of August. On the contrary, it will be a package of improvements registered in Android 4.1.2 and that will be integrated into the firmware of these teams.
As we know through XperiaBlog, these two teams will have at their disposal in a few days a downloadable file that will be mounted on Android 4.1.2 and that, among other things, will solve some incidents registered during the video recording. In particular, some users noticed problems when filming with the highest quality (FullHD 1080p), both with the image and with the audio capture. That would happen to be solved, such as certain details regarding the stability of the system and fluidity in operation. It would also speed up the launch of the Google Now application by simply pressing and holding the home button or by tapping it.
As we say, users of the Sony Xperia S and Sony Xperia SL should not keep waiting to get Android 4.2 Jelly Bean "" whose release date for these devices remains unknown "", but it would be an update focused on the firmware of these devices. In order to know if we already have the possibility of downloading the package of improvements, we just have to go to the system settings section, where we will look for "About phone" and, once inside, press "Software update". From there we could know at all times if Sony had started the update process of the Sony Xperia S and Sony Xperia SL.
The Sony Xperia S was the first device presented by the Japanese firm with which it embarked on its own in the smartphone segment, after a decade of collaboration with Sweden's Ericsson. It was also the first to inaugurate a type of design that, with the exception of the high-end models shown this year, has been recurring in future models since its premiere. It carries a twelve megapixel camera and a 4.3-inch screen with 720p high definition resolution.
As for the Sony Xperia SL, as noted, it is understood as an enhanced review of the Sony Xperia S. Basically, it expands the power of its processor reaching 1.7 GHz developed by a dual-core processor. In design and other features it is practically identical to its predecessor, also installing the same translucent bar intended to display notifications. As soon as we have news about the update in both, we will be in a position to expand this information.
