Until the end of June will not be able to see first hand how well it works Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on Xperia S Sony. However, the wait can be made more bearable with small advances like the one at hand. It has been the guys from the Vietnamese website SonyXP who reveal what the latest version of Google's operating system for smart phones looks like in the terminal with which Sony launched its presence in the market for solo branded phones.
Without precisely announcing the day that the update process of the Sony Xperia S would begin, from SonyXP they show the appearance of the device with the most advanced of the green robot. For starters, it shows boot from the lock screen with the ability to launch the camera app directly without going through the Android menu. That is, by moving the unlock bar to the left, we would get the Sony Xperia S to be unlocked, while directly showing the utility to manage the tool to take photos and videos.

On the other hand, improvements have also been integrated in the multimedia gallery section, which now allows several views and a more extensive hive of previews, so that at a quick glance we could find the photos and videos that we are looking for. A dedicated player of the Walkman line is also added, which recognizes multi-touch gestures to execute certain actions. By the way, the version that has been seen in the Sony Xperia S is Android 4.0.4, keeping the same Sony custom layer that we already knew in this terminal.
The Sony Xperia S was presented and went on sale with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It was the first of the new-generation devices to be discovered in 2012, and although the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android was already known by then, it had not yet reached any device, beyond the native Samsung Galaxy Nexus. In any case, the Japanese firm has already warned what is about to happen: that its high-end range would be ready to receive its portion of ice cream sandwich during the first half of 2012.
Once the Sony Xperia S catches up, the first batch of next- gen Android phones will be almost complete in 2012. And it is that already the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3 and LG Optimus 4X would have been deployed with Android 4.0. Only the new Motorola Razr would remain pending, which, on the other hand, is also anticipating the system update to catch up.
The arguments of the Sony Xperia S are, mainly, in its screen and its camera. From the first, it is enough to say that it is the one with the highest pixel density on the market, above the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. This translates into excellent resolution concentrated on a 4.3-inch panel . As for the latter, Sony bets on its bedside sensor, the Exmor-R, developing a maximum quality of 12.1 megapixels and integrating many software solutions, which allow to easily capture panoramic images and 3D imageswhich can then be viewed on the firm's compatible televisions.
