Sony Mobile’s IFA 2012 press conference will be over by this time tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll learn a bit more about how the company’s mobile strategy is developing and, of course, we expect to see a few more additions to the 2012 Sony Xperia smartphone line-up as well as at least one new Sony Android tablet.
Apart from hardware, we are hoping that Sony Mobile will give some definitive news on which smartphones will receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. Whilst we expect most of the 2012 line-up to be updated, question marks remain over whether the 2011 Xperia range will see Jelly Bean.
Xperia fans won’t need to miss a thing as the conference will be streamed live. It will take place at 15.00 BST (16.00 CET) on Wednesday 29 August, so mark the date/time in your diaries if you want to catch the conference live. If not, we’ll also be posting all of the key developments on the blog including new hardware as well as any new information on Sony’s smartphone strategy.
