Though many have their eyes peeled for Jelly Bean at present, the Sony Xperia P ICS update treats the smartphone to improved features. The new software is expected to be rolled out globally within the next few weeks.
To start off, owners of this particular handset will have access to new applications such as Album, Music and Movies. The standby time is extended four-fold based on data usage and user-profiles. A lock screen with improved functions stays in place. Users can also personalize their handsets by means of resizeable widgets.
Besides, mobile data speeds can be effectively monitored and controlled. To avoid the clutter of applications, the developers have thrown in a Recent Apps button to offer a filtered view of recently employed utilities.
“All Xperia P users will get a notification when the upgrade is ready, but direct availability in the phone may vary across different markets and carriers. It’s worth noting that in some cases, the software package may only be accessible via PC Companion or Bridge for Mac, instead of directly in the phone,” states a post on the official Sony Xperia Product blog.
All those who wield an Xperia P will receive a notification as soon as the update is ready. The availability is bound to vary across different carriers and retailers. In some cases, the new software can be downloaded only via PC Companion or Bridge for Mac.
Now that the Sony Xperia P ICS update has been let loose, we can expect the manufacturer to roll out upgrades for the Xperia sola, Xperia U and Xperia go soon.
