Sony Mobile has certified a new firmware version (6.1.A.1.58) for the Sony Xperia S. We don’t think there will be any major differences over the existing Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware (6.1.A.0.452), given the version number. It’s more likely a performance & stability release.
Update: Looks like just as we posted this a new update for the Xperia S has been ceritified – firmware version 6.1.A.0.453. [Thanks @wimpiedb!]
