For the next 3 days, Groupon is hosting a special sale on Sony’s budget-friendly Xperia variant, the Xperia Miro. This particular handset usually retails at £125, but Groupon is offering customers a 21% discount — meaning that the device can be yours for £89.99.
Sony is the latest company to join in on the Cyber Monday festivities and for today only is offering its most recent flagship slate, the Xperia Tablet Z (LTE), with a $50 reduction off the usual $629.99 retail price.
HTC is reportedly looking to turn its back on Qualcomm and purchase its smartphone processors from other manufacturers instead. The company has already launched two entry-level Desire devices with ST-Ericsson and Spreadtrum Shark chips, but it could be looking for cheaper alternatives to high-end processors as well.
Sony has always been slow in updating their devices to the latest version of Android. While Motorola has already updated the Moto X to KitKat, OEMs like HTC and Samsung have promised to update their flagship devices to KitKat by January end. Sony, on the other hand, has only confirmed the devices that would be getting the KitKat update.
T-Mobile has finally begun rolling out Android 4.2 Jelly Bean to the Sony Xperia Z, five months after it first reached the international version of the device. The update began its rollout today, November 19, and it will continue to reach handsets over-the-air until Wednesday, December 18.
