Although new handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the
forthcoming iPhone 5 grab the majority of media attention there are some
excellent alternative premium smartphones currently available. The HTC
One X has attracted some super reviews since it was launched and the
Sony Xperia S is also a very impressive handset. There is one problem
with this Sony model however and that is that it does not boast the
latest version of the Android operating system but this looks set to
change over the coming weeks.
The
Sony Xperia S is the flagship model in the companies current range of
mobile devices so it seems strange that they opted to launch the model
with the Gingerbread version of the Android platform installed. The new
Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS, version of the software has been available
since January and the majority of premium Android devices come supplied
with this version. When the Xperia S was first launched Sony promised
that there would be an ICS update made available for the phone but they
would not give exact details of when we could expect to see it. It has
now been revealed that the update for the phone will be rolled out
towards the end of May and into the beginning of June. Although Sony
have not officially announced this a number of Sony Support staff
commented on their website forum that this is when we can expect to see
the new software launched.
This news will please both owners of
this handset and also consumers who are considering purchasing the
model. The new ICS software will help to make the Sony Xperia S one of
the very best handsets on the market. The model certainly impresses in
terms of specification. The screen incorporated on this phone is
regarded by many as being the best display currently available. The
large 4.3 inch screen makes excellent use of LED backlit technology to
deliver an impressive resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. This means that
the phone can offer a pixel density of 342PPI, a figure that surpasses
every other device on the market. Another area where this handset really
impresses is with its camera features. The primary camera on the phone
records still images at 12 mega pixel resolution while some excellent
additional features accompany this facility such as an LED flash and a
Panoramic recording mode. High definition video footage can also be
recorded at a resolution of 1080P.
The specification of the Sony
Xperia S has always impressed us but the inclusion of older Android
software let the phone down slightly. The new forthcoming update should
elevate the handset into the same category as leading handsets like the
Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X.
