In 2011 he buried the Sony Ericsson brand to make the Sony brand emerge, at least autonomously in the market for mobile terminals. However, the continuity of the devices that maintained the identity of the former Swedish-Japanese consortium is guaranteed, and the latest announcement by the Japanese company in this regard is proof of this.
We say this because, as we have learned through the official Sony Mobile blog, this week there will be a new update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for some of the phones that were put on sale last year under the Sony Ericsson brand .
Among the smartphones that will begin to receive the new Android enhancement package, we have recognized the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V, Sony Ericsson Xperia mini, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro Sony Ericsson Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Xperia ray.
All of them have already received the improvements of the version that is titled with Google's ice cream sandwich, with which this new update will enjoy a more stable operation, giving a correction to some of the bugs that they had suffered after taking over Android 4.0. Other devices, such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro, Sony Ericsson Xperia Live and Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo L will be able to get hold of the upgrade package in the coming weeks.
And how is the update done? Well, very simple. If you are a user of one of the aforementioned terminals, the phone itself will warn you about the availability of a new version of the system through a notification. If you are under the protection of an authorized Wi-Fi network, you will be able to start downloading the upgrade package for later installation through the so-called OTA system "" Over the air , that is, wirelessly "".
The process will take you a few minutes and they are not complicated. Of course, for this you must have done a first set-up with Ice Cream Sandwich before. In case you still have Android 2.3 Gingerbread, you will need to get the preview version of Android 4.0 first, which can only be obtained using the PC Companion or Bridge for Mac desktop application, available from this link.
At the moment, it is not known exactly how Sony will have distributed the update calendar that, as we say, begins this week for the smartphones of the Sony Ericsson Xperia series, so we could not specify when it would be the turn of the devices located in Spain and without operator anchor ”” that is, with the terminal released. As soon as this information is known, we will be able to share it with you.
It should be remembered that this process focuses on the models launched during the past year, so that users of some of the Sony Xperia that have been released throughout 2012 would be exempt from this improvement package that begins to be deployed during these days.
