Sony gives update on Jelly Bean plans: Roll out commences from Feb 2013; budget models won’t be updated

and…? whats up with this short article?

Unfortunately, Sony Mobile confirmed that a number of Xperia handsets
will not be updated to Jelly Bean. This includes the Xperia U, Xperia
sola, Xperia miro and Xperia tipo.

DAFUQ

That’s after the entire world gets jelly bean.. N when 4.2 should have reached…..

Oh sony…

What the hell? Xperia U won’t be updated???

You gotta to be kidding me Sony!!!!

I don’t get it: just a couple of weeks ago they said xperia u and sola will be updated to JB and now they changed their mind? I mean, they share the same hardware with the GO, the only difference is basically the display. I don’t think this little difference could give so much problems…

WTF?? xperia S after April? that’s not their Fault , IT’s mine , i bought the handset in the first place.

wtf make xperia go, J and E get ICS ?

That’s it. This is my first and the last Sony phone. I am not going to make this mistake another time.

They are doing the same thing again with xperia s.
I brought Xperia Neo for ics Update but its got the ics after one year, Now I got Xperia S for JB and its the same story again :’(

They are doing the same thing again with xperia s.
I brought
Xperia Neo for ics Update but its got the ics after one year, Now I got
Xperia S for JB and its the same story again :’(
WTF is SONY thinking?

Same problem,
I also Wanna know!

Officially moving to nexus after this bullshit

Sony Nexus preferably

Wait wait wait….. What…. The…. Hell………. -.- what kind of messed of crap is this! Xperia S has to wait SO LONG!? We have been patiently waiting SO LONG and you’re telling me the highest quality and top tier of the NXT (Xperias; P U and S) have to wait until APRIL!? Thats an outrage -.- like honestly WHY do we have to wait so long… Sony we deserve an answer to this… please be joking and give us the rollout soon….

Ohh i was bought xperia sola bcuz i believe sony will update to jb but for now i have dissapointed. Planned to sell fuck*ng shit xperia sola and go back to samsung

Sony has gone mad!!!!!
Wat the f***ing anouncement??????
How can sony say that Xperia u will not recieve jb????
At first only given the ivs so late and now this f****** announcement???

You’re poor sony, u can only give update for your newest phone, hate is too nice word when i hear SONY name

that’s one of the reasons I will buy xiaomi mi2 instead of xperia (owning x10)

Im in a mixed emotion..happy knowing that my TX will get JB
first in xperia lineup but dissapointd coz sony phnes including mine is the last flagshp phne 2 get JB update cmpared to other phnes such as galaxies,the raZrs,and htc one series,.Sony is now gaining nice profit with their latest xperia lineup,well guess what,.having this news will make us sony fans change to other smartphones in the next flagshp phones..sony is not innovating anymore,poor software support.

You could have just wrote ” I really feel for U guys”. xD

If they said 4.2 than maybe. but 4. that’s bad

excellent. people who have bought sola wouldn’t bother with another sony product. the product is perfectly capable of jb. but that’s okay, sony is magnanimous about losing customers

I tottaly agree ! i wasted about 480 euros for the Stupid Xperia ass ! i mean S

Im so happy i’ve ordered a Nexus 4, so tired of sony and their slow updates!! by the end of april 4.1 is old shit, never a sony again! Go nexus!!

Even if Xperia T is the first to be updated, I feel Sony has its priorities wrong and I feel Samsung has got it right. well, Cannot expect too much from the japanese senile businessmen. they’ve gotta hand over the reigns to younger dynamic people for decision making. 2 more months before ANy phone gets JB. that’s fantastic!

Are they ever read our frustration comment ?

DDoees any one will by new xperia? I think its over for Sony. Its Samsung time. My next phone will definetly not sony

well, sony should read this blog. they’d know how much they’d be toast. samsung will get my money next. galaxy s3 has premium suite lined up now. and here we are announcing when our next announcement will be. wow!

Honestly contemplating on that. I really wanted the Sony Xperia Yuga but with this? Hell who knows I might not even get JB at the rate things are going with this company…

If my Xperia Ion doesn’t doesn’t know how to tie my shoes and make me breakfast after this update, I will seriously not even bother with Non-Nexus phones.

This is a joke from Sony. After the X10 debacle of being told we had to settle for 1.6, then they released 2.1 about a year after everyone else etc, I said I’d never go with Sony again. But then I made the mistake of going for Sony’s “flagship device” of 2012, the Xperia S – as it seems they have now forgotten all about it and couldn’t care less about their user base.

Hi guys, just before rage comms are coming, wanted to remember you that sony ICS has lots of improvments and all 4.2 features are already in this, so we don’t really need a stock JB as soon as we already have the stock features,

guys atleast ur getting the update !! I am XU user . fuck u sony for seeing the budget not the specs . I am a big fan of sony . hating now . even XJ is getting JB . why not xperia u ??? really hating !!!

They should, especially Xperia U and sola users. They got 2.3 out of the box, a buggy 4.0 update (I read a lot of complaints) and then they won’t get Jelly Bean.

i have Xperia P )))

I don’t even want to think about how long it’s gonna take for my AT&T TL to get the update. Maybe sometime in 2014…

I swear to the MOTHER OF GOD I will never ever buy a Sony phone again. First and last. Mistake ho gaya really. Mistake.

Google phones only. Can’t live with WP. Can’t live with iOS. Want Android. Google only!

I’m glad i use CYANOGENMOD 10 for my XPERIA S with the xperia theme. I don’t rely in Sony for software updates. They suck at that true story!

you can get CM10 Jelly bean on Xperia S

and when i buy the xperia V when it gets release in the U.S. the first thing i would do would is erase Sony’s bloatware and install cyanogenmod 10.1 using android 4.2

Xperia P is better than xperia S dude, also you can get JB on xperia S thanks to CM

Sony is suck.

Downloading the rom now. Will never buy a sony phone again

Dear Sony, after hearing about your plans of upgrading Xperia S after April, kindly be informed that I decided not to buy any other Sony handsets. Thank you for your commitment

SONY.SH!T

U owner here. I’m done with Sony (and LG) and I won’t buy their products again (unless it’s a Nexus). These day, it seems Samsung is the only one who can make their products right. Even their TV is the only one that properly play MKV video with DTS.

Well at least I can still enjoy the colored illumination light which no other phone has.

I actually have an Xperia Sola. I was planning to buy a new Sony LED TV even when I saw a Samsung better one. And with this I wanted to buy an Xperia V because I use to love Sony products. Sony you’ve disappointed me. I guess the only device Sony that I’ll have in my home is the PlayStation.

sony this is really shame on ur part, i am a owner of 2011 xperia i already know we wont b getting jb ………..but was happy that atleast all the owners of 2012 vl b getiing the update …………..but its a bull shit ur giving to ur customers these day i dont find even a single reason y x ur peria u is not updated to u ,its ok with 2011 u said due to low internal memory but now ur doing the same mistake with 2012 users xperia u a dual core processor ,that too this is the most part u should b ashamed of people trusted ur brand nd encouraged u nd bought the phones with nova thor processors which r urs u already lost ur 2011 owners no one from 2011 who bought ur phone is 2not going to buy phone nd now ur lossing 2012 customers with this ur going to b out of the market by 2013 even u release a huge phone with mind blowing specs people vl b afraid whether their phone vl b updated with the next update as is the case with 2011 arc s nd 2012 xperia s nd the future 2013 yuga ur loosing sony all the best iam sad iam a huge fan of ur brand

haha knew this was coming lol, Glad that I sold my xps and got myself a Nexus 4

This is not cool, but still, people are being way too emotional about it, nothing is groundbreaking or that necessary in Jelly Bean. just a few cool tweaks here and there.

Sony you lazy Japan bastards, 1st the Xperia Arc S now Xperia S……last, last, last, last! WTF Sony change your customer care! I’m bying a flagship from Sony and I will get JB in April fuck this, I’m buying Samsung, LG or HTC (flagship) for sure, no more Sony for me you lost it! I won’t buy from you even a Nexus device, oh wait you will never have a Nexus device because you suck like a bad sushi!
”Sony makes you throw your device in trash”

so consider this report as a good joke , because if it is true, then the whole world – all Samsung, HTC, Motorola and their main phones already have JB and others are preparing . You mean SONY serious? after all, they run customers. That’s just tragic.

Hope Sony really reads this comments and see how pissed off we all are about the Xperia S (you know, the 1st one from the Sony Xperia brand to come out after the Sony Ericsson era) been the last phone to be updated. Think again Sony and lots of your fans will appreciated.

Sony Xperia S has just been rebranded the Sony Xperia FU

oh no ! fevrier ou mars ou avril ????????????????, I will change – I am going to change Sony for Galaxy or Razr or Find 5

lol people complaining about updates when still 50% of anddroid phones run GB

CM10 FTW.

That’s why I bought NEXUS 4. Sony makes great phones, but waiting for software half a year for tech gadget lover like me is a pain.

By then google would be getting ready for the next major update and what’s to say my Xperia T would ACTUALLY be updated in Feb. Sony FIX THE HELL UP WITH THESE SLOW UPDATES ITS VERY FOOLISH considering your top company.

NO NO NO This is soo NOT good….why are u doing this sony.This time u will definitely loose a lot of fans..

TOTALLY agree… feel the exact same way… like a f****ing mor*n!

If there’s nothing groundbreaking in JellyBean why is it taking Sony so long to release such update.

I’m happy:) I’ll be first to get my Xperia V updated to Jelly Bean!!!!!!
Ha,ha,ha,ha…………

Well if you only have x amount of guys being able update the whole portfolio I guess this is how you have to prioritize.
Some phones had too be later and some sooner. Just a weird order I agree on that.

Absolutely crazy stuff… Sony Xperia S is the last product I buy from Sony. We are not coming back. No ways!!!

PEOPLE POWER! FLOOD SONY”S FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND SONYMOBILE BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! My phone getting is JB on April next year. that’s the roll out date God know when I’m getting JB. go to hell Sony!!!

I have the sola along with T, but sola is pretty good enough. I’m really incensed about this whole issue. why bring out devices which you can’t even support for a few months ? U/sola are barely 9 months old. ok, the miro/ tipo might be too anemic – but doesn’t nokia support their low end offerings ? why bring out so many devices in the first place is my fundamental question.

FUCK YOU SONY for updating xperia GO xperia J and xperia P, before xperia S, even when the specs of this last one are bettwe than those three…. fuck you for taking in mind the release date. F U C K Y O U!!!

Xperia s for sale, anyone interested?

With Sonys pace ‘April onwards’ will be well into the summer, just a half a year later than Samsung and HTC 2012 flagships. Wonder if things like Bravia engine, proximity sensor bug and incredibly low speaker voice will be fixed at all.

Like many others, I’m not gonna buy another Sony product again. But hey, Sonys strategy seems to be launching a new phone for each lost customer, lol.

i’m very disapointed , how about that the xperia p to be updated before xperia s this is a very big mistake from sony and also my mother need a new mobile phone i wanted to buy for her xperia t or v but i wont really because i know what i can excpect from sony: ” After 6 months to be forgoten and to realise new mobile phones …”

get ur facts rit

Xperia S users must be the ones who feels most f***ed up right now,sony’s strategy with flagships are very confusing.They should’ve updated T,TX & S first since those were their 2012 flagships & specially SXS since it was their major hit after a while.SXS is 6-8 months behind while other flagship counterparts (sgs3,one x+) already have updated to 4.1.2.

I guess this will be the same story for Xperia T,TX when they gonna update to 4.2 since new 2013 models will be out :/ Way to treat the customers who pays a premium prize for your flagships sony !

After Neo I almost brought Xperia S(since 2-3 months ago it was THE 2012 flagship & btw still Xperia T is not available in here o__O ) but then thought to change things a little and went for S3.Now I am very glad I went with S3 cos atleast when it comes to updates Samsung knows how to prioritize an update for their flagships & always give new features(yeah I know most are just crap including touchpizz still they give new features to older models) to their main flagships with each update.

On a side note while Sony abandoned their 2011 flagship Arc S/Arc in jb update samsung is gonna give 4.1.2 to both S2 and note in January(although leaked official 4.1.2 works well on both).

XPERIA ass

It’s no just about features, My Sola is rather unstable and laggy at the moment. The ICS came three months later than promised. When it was out it turned out to be buggy. This applies even to the latest firmware. And now this… Don’t want to mess wiht another sony phone ever.

btw don’t think I am trying to trollpromote samsung on a sony forum,its just the obvious bitter truth.I was a sony ericcson fan and a dev from 2005(k750,w810,w660,w595,w995 & xperia neov) for more than 6 years.But the sad truth is Sony is again going to loose butt load of customers(specially SXS customers) due to these crazy update schedules just like they did with X10 in 2010.

How about all of you guys just give Sony a break think about it it just ended a 10 year co-operation ship with Ericsson. When starting something new entirely you don’t expect it to be completed over night do you ? and plus reason why the Xperia S and other are probably getting the update last is because most of the designs based from Sony Ericsson before the buy out

The Xperia Yuga, E, Dogo and Odin are only just the beginning of all the phones official made by Sony and plus the 2012 phones were made in Sweden before they moved back to Tokyo plus Sony is way better then LG and also take into account of course Sony would be late because it has only just started fresh after buying out Ericsson’s share plus I am sure the 2013 Xperia’s would most probably be updated quickly because they are the made Sony phones and Sony is making the next Nexus so Key Lime Pie would most likely come early to the 2013 models and plus the new models will be released with Android 4.2. rather then be stuck with 4.1. and Sony made a flash tool so that way you can go between updates or stay with the ones that suit you either way just give Sony a chance 2013 is a new Era of Sony Xperia phones !

They didn’t abandoned manufacturing airplanes and started business with submarines, you know, when they took over Ericsson share.
What’s big deal in simple rebranding and continuing the same business, with the same brand of phones, with the same approach to software, etc etc…
This “Ericsson” argument for Sony’s laziness is just absurd. The customer-care approach was pretty much the same in the time of SE like it is now when there is just S left. And I’m pretty much sure that Sony was “head” of operations in SE times anyway.
Also, I’m not whining here like the most of the people, and I’m very often finding myself in situations to defend Sony, even here on this blog. I guess I’m just real. And I think Sony is far from being “shitty”, “terrible”, bla bla…
What I’m trying to say is that blaming Ericsson for anything is absurd, and saying that Sony needs time to “recover” is also a bit silly. Like they are some amateur company, just jumped into this business, so they need time to adapt.

fail too late even samdung 10 times fater

/sign

this news set me free from Xperia. I’ve got XS and wait until April for a flagship phone? I don’t think so. And thanks got, Get a warm greetings from Nexus 4 will receive tomorrow to get through a cold Xmas and New Year from Sony. Never again Sony. Hope Sony will get to the place 2nd biggest smartphone on the market, but upside down.

OK. there the answer about why XPERIA S dont get any updates. Sony actually dont care about their 2012 flagship. I was really wrong when I though that it ment that something good was on it way. Sure I do agree that is better too get a update that works better than ICS did when that was release for XPERIA S. But this isnt right. What have Sony being doing this couple of months? Xperia is getting JB almost exactly one year after ICS update. Im almost getting the feeling its Sonys way to be able to stop updateing the phone for the next Android version.

Heh…yeah I’m done with sony.
This might be the point I switch to Windows

VERY disappointed, Sony. Don’t count on my buying Sony again.
Was very happy with the 180 € Xperia U I have for almost two months now, happy to upgrade to ICS and then this bs announcement? SAME specs as P and Go (Novathor) but STILL you just decide to NOT update all same phones??? o_O wtf.
Xperia J even slower than U but J the one getting the update? Hooooly *** ! ? -.-

My old Sony W850i was very good… What is this policy?

[quote] Oh wow here we have the dual core devices far superior than XGo and XE which will not receive JB. I wonder what excuse Sony have up their sleeve this time.[/quote]

I lost much faith in Sony…

[quote] This Is The Worst Decision From Sony[/quote]

Do I also have to regret now buying a Sony smartphone? Come on Sony, show me/us you are worth it.

if you are not, [quote]No more Sony phones for me I guess[/quote]

[quote] If Sony continues such sh*t support then I guess I will have to boycott them. [/quote]

[quote] i will warn to all off my friends on facebook, i have about 2000 friends, hi sony, are you ready to lost about 2000 customers ? [/quote]

[quote] Its war now. World War III XDA vs SONY. I need a lawyer. I hate Sony. They betrayed us…. [/quote] In some way they did…

I’ll bet you anything that the xperia t, tx and other H2 devices will not be updated past 4.1 just like the arc s isn’t getting jellybean.
I’m not too bothered personally about the S and the from April onwards time schedule. I getting another phone once the 2013 flagships appear so it makes little difference.
HTC look like they are fighting back after years of uninspiring devices so they are the front runners for my money. Who knows what the GS4 and LG optimus will be like too.
I’m done with Sony, their mindless nonsense is just too much for me.
The craziest thing is, they’ve treated their best selling phone with nothing but pure contempt since it’s release. I’ll bet you anything they even toyed with the idea of not updating the S past ICS but the fear of what that would do to the brand frightened them into giving it grudgingly. Imagine that, a company that goes out of it’s way to piss of it’s own customers. A joke!
The good will that followed Sony after their takeover which was already waning, will die out now. They’ve just pissed off seriously the majority of their customers. The bad blood will surely come back to haunt them.
The xperia S is truly the older brother of the x10 and the phones they release next year will be treated with as much scepticism as the the Arc after the bad blood that followed the x10. History repeating itself with the same inanely stupid company

What the fucking hell??thanks Sony…I spared 600e for shit!at least xs has cm.sola and u users what will do..again Sony proved dickheads
EVERY ONE DONT BUY SONY AGAIN….GO FOR NEXUS PHONE INSTEAD

How is it possible that the Xperia U, a dual-core phone, won’t be upgraded but the Xperia J which ins’t wil recieve it… it’s hilarious! Well done Sony, killing products below 1 year of market,,,

not updating Sola and U makes me feel angered, I don’t own them, but they’re 2012 Xperia, these dual-core phones should be updated.

Don’t ever believe this, they will update afterwards this miro,u, and sola. Like what happened to X10i, they say that the last update is 2.1eclair, but they updated afterwards into 2.3gingerbread.

And, finnalny Xperia Sola n Xperia U cannot upgrade to jelly bean…

Sony,….forget it……

Def. of Sony….

Sucks

Outdated

Nonsense

Y in world bother buying it?

Since (i bought) April 2012 silently i followed/watched carefully everything about Xperia S what Sony did. Never complained about anything. But now;

This is the picture of your ending, Sony!

The upgrading plan is simply not reasonable for Xperia S and Ion users.

thank you. xperia sola owner here. i feel TROLLED

Xperia J get JB update? wut? and sola didnt? wtf r u thinking bruh? eh? single core 1ghz get jb and dualcore 1ghz of sola and u didnt get an update?

SONY DNIWE

one more ungry Xperia S user here. yellow tint problem, camera autofocus lame problem and now update to 4.1 5 months after samsung and HTC…. well i can only say 1 thing #switchtolumia

Fcuk this! Why Xperia Sola that not JB while Xperia Go and Xperia J get it? Sola better that J -,-

I believe my SXS will be last phone from Sony. I am totally irritated with new Sony strategy..

yeah, if 4.1 comes so late in the day, there’s no hope for T getting anything past that. forget 5!

The catchword for Xperia S should had been “The first smartphone from Sony – the last one to be updated” when it was released

I wait software android jellybean for my sony xperia go. Thanks sony ^_^

Sign petition to ask sony to release update for Xperia U and Xperia Sola! http://www.activism.com/it_IT/petizione/vogliamo-jelly-bean-per-xperia-u-e-sole/41354

Extrapolating from the extremely slow update process for ICS, this means I’ll have JB somewhere in… end of May / beginning of June?

Seems like Sony is seriously understaffed in development and QA departments. This seems like a big mistake; with active and quick support, Sony could be one of the top players… But not like this. My next phone is NOT going to be a Sony one.

Sony do not deserve his clients.

I emailed the Sony Japan tablet support, asked what was up since we were promised back in September an update to 4.1 “shortly after launch”. Well, they responded very quickly and told me “we can neither confirm nor deny the possibility of 4.1 for the xperia tablet.”

Arrrghhhh…………

Bloody Joke Frm Sony….. Will Never buy a Sony Phone !!!!!

Hey, sony guys, Sola was my first android and though that my phone would be upgraded to jelly bean and said to all my friends that I would get jelly bean, I wish I had to buy the Samsung, If my phone wouldn’t upgraded to jelly bean, this would be the first and last product from sony. GOOB BYE SONY

You mean customers?

Xperia S on April? Cool! I will ask Santa for a Samsung this year and flush my S down the toilet.

I fear U and Sola users have to settle with a smooth and stable cm10 when that’s released.
Or xperia p firmware has to get ported to u and sola..

P had 1GB ram

this is really a goodbye sony. So so disappointed

Again Sony?? Keep your fingers crossed, they might again give you a shitty reason and piss you off.

Feeling completely fucked up… Wtf!!! Xperia s update , that to april!! Baaaaaad?!!!

WTF! Sony Xperia U no Jellybean……

yeah visit xperiatimes.com for free update

What if they’re planning to skip a version like what they did with X10 and the 2.2 update?

In case you are wondering how is that the low-end Xperia J is getting the Jelly Bean update, while the dual-core U and sola aren’t – despite Sony didn’t make any statement, we guess the GPU is the one to blame.

All three phones have 512MB of RAM, but the Adreno 200 GPU on the Xperia J uses far less RAM than the Mali-400 inside the Xperia U and sola. We also know that Project Butter needs more GPU power than what the ICS UI. And the insufficient RAM due to GPU usage is probably the reason why these phones won’t be getting to taste Jelly Bean.

Dude in this case can u tell about xperia go it also has mali 400 GPU and 512MB Ram.

I f it is the case, what about a firmware to reduce RAM consumption of the Mali-400. Moreover U has 1 GB of RAM ..

Yeah man.ThThat’s the very reason iam still ll ll not satisfied with their answer…

considering the performance hit i suffered on my U, i wish I’d stayed on Gingerbread.

FUCK YOU SONY . SONY MADE YOU BELIEVE …

u sure about this Include Sola
?

No, my guess would be, U have multi colored illumination light instead of white-only like in P / S. And Sola have floating touch tech.

Re: new Xperia V (and other new products in 2013)
As of 24th January, 2013 over 100 customers have complained to Sony since it released the Xperia V in December about bugs causing constant freezing, catastrophic battery drainage, WiFi and alarm function problems. Nobody is mentioning this, least of all Sony in its daily marketing barrage about the upcoming Xperia Z. Al it cares about is sales, not service. Does this mean the Z will also fail to work properly once released in a month or two?
I see the UK regulator fined Sony £250000 today for what it called “one of the most serious breaches of the Data Protection Act ever reported” in failing in 2011 to keep its Playstation Network software up to date, thus allowing hackers access to its customers’ personal, bank and password details.
Sony smartphones had a poor reputation in the past. There are now 12 pages of complaints on the Sony Mobile website below. Those people have spent a lot of money on a Sony product either directly or through signing an expensive long-term contract. They deserve not to be ignored and they deserve the mobile media to take up this issue with Sony on their behalf and hold the company to account.
Compare this with two friends of mine who experienced problems with their iPhones a year or two ago. They contacted Apple and the company simply replaced the products, no questions asked. It clearly cares about its reputation for technical excellence and customer satisfaction. By comparison Sony stops updates on products less than a year old, doesn’t fix problems or even communicate with its customers when they report them.
It’s not good enough and Sony should be continually fined when it habitually fails to service its products when they do not work properly. Only then perhaps will it take customer service seriously. Until then everyone should think carefully before parting with their money.
I will not give my money to a company only to get problems and no solutions or service for 2 years, which is a shame because I really want a water and dust resistant smartphone and Sony seems to be the only company that makes them. They are very popular in Japan.

What a ridiculous company approach. New management required!
You can read all those complaints about the problems with the Xperia V here:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thr…

s3 mini has same specs as xperia sola and U but still got jellybean……the logic is more messed up than one may think…….

Updated to jellybean and no sound works on Xperia t

look like sony need to upgrade the JB software for Xperia V again….,because after update to JB many phone had a SOD (sleep of death)

yes why

March is already ended…
when u will provide jb update for Xperia p???

i got my hand set once replaced but the service center was just a collection center there was no technical person to understand the problem, now again i am getting battery problem and system freezing, etc

Sony should not announce anything like at the end of March or so. It should state clearly when it is based on the prediction they can finalize the firmware even though they can finish it before the date, it doesn’t bother having received the update before the date but should not be later than the announced date. Because it can make customers think about the date a lot but when it doesn’t meet their expectation they become frustrated. It is better if it does’t announce anything and gives the update unexpectedly.

Hump! Xperia Go receive updte in end of March?!
It’s already April man…

Xperia u is lower end handset? I think it’s not
