Update: Sony says ICS upgrade hitting 2011 Xperia phones this week, but us Canadians will most likely see it in September

By on August 21, 2012 at 9:10am in Mobile News

Sony posted a note on their company blog that informed Xperia arc, Xperia arc S, Xperia neo, Xperia neo V, Xperia mini, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Xperia ray users that the upgrade to Android OS 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich is starting to roll out this week. Of course there was the usual asterisk that stated “The availability and scheduling of this software upgrade will vary by market and carrier requirements.”

TELUS has already upgraded the ray to ICS in June, but those Rogers and Fido customers who have the Xperia arc, Xperia arc S, Xperia mini and Xperia pro can expect it to hit their device sometime in September. Still no confirmation on when/if we’ll see OS 4.1 Jelly Bean arrive.

Update: Sony Canada has posted a note that the upgrade to ICS is now available for the Xperia arc and ars S, plus the ion and other will get OS 4.0.4 in September. Read more details here.

  3. This is why you should always buy Nexus phones and never by Sony phones. :)

  6. Samsung and Asus are on their game too with their flagship devices. Nexus S got ICS AFTER Galaxy S II and a month before the N7000. nexus lost some of its luster.

    As for JB, Google rolled that out very nicely.

    • Nexus S got ICS 4.0.1 last December before the SGS2, there was some bugs so we got 4.0.4 afterwards, but the Nexus S still got ICS before everyone else aside from the Galaxy Nexus…

  9. Glad I guess for 2011 users – Have/Had Ion which shipped recently July, 2012 with Gingerbread and still no sign/word of ICS for the Sony “flagship” LTE phone touted correctly as “cheap” on latest Rogers Commercial. Sadly out the money but Samsung SIII just arrived and getting ready to switch over and unload Ion on eBay.
