Sony Xperia T and SP now getting Android 4.3 Jelly Bean

While the "Bond" phone's title as Sony's Xperia flagship was shortlived, it still is a very capable phone with its Snapdraon S4 Processor and 720p display. Today it's being brought up to speed with an update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and while this isn't Android 4.4 It certainly is welcome to see.

With no word on an upgrade to 4.4, we are a bit worries that the Xperia T falls to the wayside in terms of upgrades especially since there has now been 3 sets of new flagships that have followed suit in the Xperia Z/ZL, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z2. Couple this with other Snapdragon S4's falling out of favor, we can't help the creeping doubt.

The similarly specced Xperia SP is also getting the same 4.3 Jelly bean update. Chances of a 4.4 update on it look even slimmer given that it wasn't a flagship device.

That being said, if you're an Xperia T or SP owner on Bell, Rogers, Wind, MTS, Eastlink or Mobilicity and have been eagerly awaiting the update you can grab it now on the Sony PC Companion application or Mac Bridge Application.

According to Sony's official blog, they will be rolling out Android 4.3 to the  Xperia T, Xperia TX, Xperia V, Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 from next month.

While for in terms of an Android 4.4 upgrade, Sony confirms that the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 will be the first "raft" of Xperia products to get an upgrade to KitKat.

It's nice to see a commitment to updates, hopefully they happen quickly.
