A new firmware version (4.0.2.A.0.42) for 2011 Sony Ericsson Xperia devices was certified around 10 days ago. We were recently speculating what this update may be, but it looks like it only offers some minor bug changes.
We just loaded up this firmware onto an Xperia arc S and it is still running Android 2.3.4 rather than a newer version of Android. From what we can tell, there are no tangible differences to the older Android 2.3.4 firmware. If we do find anything different we’ll update this post, but for now, there’s nothing to see here.
