Sony Xperia P Poised To Receive Android 4.0 Update Soon

In case you own the Sony Xperia P then you should be pleased to learn that the manufacturer is planning on launching the highly anticipated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update pretty soon.

According to Sony Mobile India and their latest Facebook entries, ICS for the Xperia P will start hitting the waves on August 19th and the deployment will continue until August 25th. Unfortunately the official announcement does not explain clearly whether or not this particular roll-out is expected only in India or in other countries and regions as well.

Fact of the matter is, this roll-out should definitely arrive on a global level sooner rather than later because the Xperia P is one of Sony's handsets to arrive with Gingerbread out of the box this year, alongside a promise that Ice Cream Sandwich will be available by the end of the summer. That being said, it would make sense if the post mentioned above is referring to a wider range of variants, and not only those in India.

Also, since the Xperia P is quite similar with the Sony Xperia U and Sola we hope that these other two devices will receive Android 4.0 soon.

We're going to keep an eye out on the Sony Xperia P and Ice Cream Sandwich. Until then, let us know whether or not you're still waiting for the official release or you have decided to go with a custom ROM a long time ago.
