This is the main reason I forgo Samsung, Sony, HTC and pretty much anything else that are not Nexus and not directly upgraded by Google.

    AnonD-44860, 19 Oct 2012only 3 of htc device will get jelly bean and the time is in... morei was thinking to get the xperia u its a great phone, the bad thing is the memory, so i decided to buy ace+s7500 and there are news that it will be getting 4.1 not 4.0, thats the problem with all devices and brands, they don´t update cause they want us to buy the next one, but hopefully some developer will bring it

            Go to hell with your marketing strategy. So upset with Xperia mini since the day I bought it. Keep on evaluating forever. I am going to dump this as soon as I get a chance.

            Sony Japanese excellence........what a crap.

                Xperia U has a lot better hardware than Xperia J and they left behind? WTF?!?
                If I recall it has reserved 2gb rom memory for OS. I cant believe that so much space isnt enough for JB update O_o

                  only 3 of htc device will get jelly bean and the time is in2013(not announced even),lg is worse than htc in update,samsung will update some of device but i am sure those handset which not get ics will not recive jelly bean or if get they will get in mid 2013,(i am sure only note,s2 ,s3,note 2 and tabs will get and note and s2 will get in 2013),so why u treat like children? i myself not happy to hear these news but think fairly and look to other manufacture list and time then argue with sony. i hope sony launch 4.1 fot T and TX,V and S sooner.just this and not argue with sony

                    james, 19 Oct 2012i can confirm that only the mentioned phones in the article... moreAre you one of the developers from Sony, to confirm that Sola and Neo L wouldn't get JB? If you read carefully the source, it says that 2011 Xperia lineup "will not be upgraded beyond Ice Cream Sandwich." That statement puts an end to 2011 Xperia's not having JB.

                    But things aren't clear yet about 2012 Xperias that wasn't mentioned. So there's still hope for 2012 Xperias like SL, Neo L, U, and Sola (I doubt Miro and Tipo will have JB). I also agree to others, Sony need to hire developers. Mid Q1 of 2013 is too late for JB and those updates are for high-ends only. WTH!!!

                          It's a shame that the Xperia 2011 line is being left out. If they can have ICS, I'm sure they could get JB. This is just pure marketing. That's why I bought a Nexus 7 and my next phone will for sure be a Nexus too.

                                  Please write your complain in sony fb wall, theire may be a chance.this is unfair.

                                  It's a bit disappointing that the Xperia J, which has a cut-down version of the Qualcomm chipset that powers the 2011 Xperias, is getting JB but the older models are not.And nexus & glaxy mini 2 low-end phone get jb.

                                      dodong24, 19 Oct 2012SONY DEVELOPERS ARE BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!! They are very slow a... moreSony works with developers. The real issue is the carriers which would drag this out until the end of time to make you buy a new phone.

                                      And they have won again.

                                        So my dual core Xperia U won't see jelly bean thats been out maybe 3 or 4 months? Thanks. Then again you lot havn't got ICS on it yet either so I did'nt have my hopes held high.
