Sony has today revealed its Android 4.3 upgrade plans for Xperia smartphones and tablets. It’s good news if you own an Xperia Z or one of its many variants, as well as the Xperia SP — all of which will get Android 4.3 at some point. Sony also says it is looking at “uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3.”
Sony’s affordable entry-level Android smartphone, the Xperia U, is now available to purchase in the U.K. for £124.99 from the popular independent retailer Expansys.
The Sony Honami, the Japanese company’s next flagship smartphone, has been pictured again ahead of its official unveiling. Many expect this device to be a much-improved Xperia Z, and when you take a look at the shots, it’s easy to see why — it looks almost identical.
Do you ever wish you had a better camera in your smartphone? Well, before you upgrade to a hideous Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, you might want to take a look at the blurry picture below. It’s an accessory that Sony is rumored to be working on that’ll help you take incredible pictures with your smartphone.
It’s not just a fancy clip-on lens; it’s actually a 20.2-megapixel Exmor RS camera with a Carl Zeiss lens that uses your smartphone’s display as its viewfinder.
Sony has published a press release stating that its Xperia SP will be launching in Canada this summer; this announcement comes just 24-hours after the Japanese manufacturer announced that its Xperia Z will debut in Canada as a Bell exclusive. The SP will be available to purchase on Rogers, Fido and Virgin, and surprising there has been no mention of Bell.
