Was it only a year ago that Sony had introduced the Sony Xperia S? With its thin translucent strip that lights up under certain circumstances, the design garnered plenty of attention last year. The phone started life powered by Android 2.3.5 and was updated to Android 2.3.7 and then Android 4.04., where it sits today. Back in December, there was a question whether or not the phone would move on, a question that no one would have conceived being asked earlier in the year.
Sony Germany says the Android 4.1 update for the Sony Xperia S is coming
In a rather straightforward statement sent via a tweet, the German based office for the Japanese manufacturer said "we will begin the rollout of Android 4.1 for the Xperia S in late March." Of course, this translated statement probably applies to those in Germany or in the region, sporting the Sony Xperia S. But we would expect the rest of the globe to not be that far behind in receiving the update that will bring Project Butter, Google Now and more to the phone. Even though the Sony Xperia S no longer commands the respect it once did, just remember that only 13 months ago this was Sony's flagship model.
