Sony Xperia P Jelly Bean Screenshot Leaked

Sony Xperia P Jelly Bean Screenshot LeakedSony Mobile seems to be putting in the extra hours so that they are able to roll out the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update that has been a long awaited update for plenty of owners of Sony Xperia smartphones which were released last year. The Sony Xperia P, also known by its model number LT22i, is said to be updated sometime at the end of this month according to the official release schedule, which means there are a few more days left to go. Hence, it is not surprising to see at least one leaked screenshot of the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Sony Xperia P hit the Internet rumor mills, and here we are presenting it to interested readers on the right.

The screenshot depicts the Sony Xperia P running on the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmware with build number 6.2.X.X.XXX, which is not out of line from what we expect. As for the kernel, it seems to remain stuck at version 3.0.8, instead of being bumped up to version 3.4 as seen on more recently released smartphones.

Sony Xperia TX Gets New Jelly Bean FirmwareIf you happen to be in possession of the Sony Xperia TX, otherwise known as the LT29i if model numbers are your cup of tea, then you would be able to let out a sigh of relief, as it has been made known that the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update is finally going to be released in the form of firmware version 9.1.B.0.411. Sony Mobile did originally revise the Jelly Bean schedule for the Sony Xperia TX to be sometime this month, and since we have yet to make the jump over to April, it is great to see Sony Mobile sticking to the new time scale. The devil’s in the details, and it is small little things like these that keep users happy.

So far, very little is known about the kind of improvements that this new firmware is able to offer compared to the previous Jelly Bean firmware released for the Xperia T/TX/V series of devices that carried version number 9.1.A.0.490 on the Xperia V, but there is hope that springs eternal, for the latest 9.1.B.0.411 firmware to also arrive on the Xperia T and Xperia V platforms in due time.

Sony Xperia T And Xperia TX Gets New Firmware This April

Sony Xperia T And Xperia TX Gets New Firmware This AprilThere is nothing quite like having decent hardware run on the latest version of software, where the latter would be useful in squeezing out every possible ounce of performance from the former. Well, having said that, we bring you word that there is new firmware (9.1.A.1.138) which has been certified for the Sony Xperia T (also known as the LT30p) and the Xperia TX (aka LT29i). Sony Mobile claims that this update for both devices is set to arrive from April onwards, although I am quite sure that the pegged April 1st date is not an attempt to pull a fast one on consumers.

This new firmware will also see the introduction of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to the Sony Xperia TX, as owners of this particular smartphone model were said to have been waiting for far too long for some Jelly Bean goodness. Apart from that, it is said that the update will bring along with it a fix for the problem that users have suffered from when running the Walkman app on Jelly Bean firmware.

Verizon Might Offer Droid 4 Some Jelly Bean Goodness

Verizon Might Offer Droid 4 Some Jelly Bean GoodnessIt was just last week when we heard on how Verizon will finally deliver the long awaited Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX smartphones, and so we await with bated breath of whispers that there will be another handset from Motorola’s stables that will be on the receiving end of some Jelly Bean goodness, and this will be an ancient smartphone in comparison – the Motorola Droid 4.

Launched by Verizon early last year with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board alongside an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update later on, it seems that a handful of Droid 4 users did receive an invitation to test an “early preview of a new software release”, which could very well be the Jelly Bean update. Motorola did confirm in the past that their venerable Droid 4 would pick up Jelly Bean without being specific on the release date, so this could very well be it. There is life yet in the legs of the Droid 4, for sure!
