Lasted little enthusiasm among users of a mobile phone from Sony Ericsson presented during this year. Although yesterday we told you that in statements to SoMobile, sources from the London-based company confirmed that the arrival of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (the next big update to Google's system) would be compatible with all the terminals that have been known during 2011, today we wake up with opposite information. Or at least, that qualifies that one.
In the specialized medium SlashGear, we have learned that the Sony Ericsson press department would have come to terms with those statements, pointing out that it is soon to ensure which phones in the manufacturer's portfolio will catch up with Ice Cream and which ones will not.
The question is the following: supposedly, Google would not have provided the companies that develop Android phones with the technical specifications necessary for their terminals to work properly with version 4.0 of the system, so that they meet the quality criteria of each manufacturer.
That is why, given that this information is still up in the air , ensuring that all Xperia phones that run on Android and were released in 2011 will be compatible with Ice Cream is such a risky statement that it should be kept in quarantine until available. data from Google.
It is not clear what Android 4.0 Ice Cream will need to work, but taking a look at the rising line in the performance profile of the most powerful mobiles on the market, it seems clear that the dual core could start to be marked as a standard component in the devices that will swarm the smartphone market in 2012. Remember that the Nexus, which are the phones that release each new major Android update, are released annually, so Ice Cream and its subsequent improvements would have a minimum validity of one year.
However, none of the Sony Ericsson Xperia of the Android range is equipped with a dual-core processor , a fact that raised the suspicions of those who were not so clear that they would work correctly with future improvements to the Google system in the next generation.. In any case, after the announcement of the Sony Ericsson press guys, it is convenient to wait until we know which terminals will take another step to Ice Cream.
