Sony has been furiously working for the past few months to provide 4.0 Android updates to the phones that it launched in 2011. It seems that mostly all the phones that Sony released in 2011 will be getting the update except for Sony Xperia Play.
Xperia S, P and U are all set to receive their Android 4.0 OTA updates next week but Xperia Play has been excluded from that list due to stability issues. Sony has said that after it extensively tested the Sony Xperia Play (both in house and through its partners), they have come to a conclusion that the Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) update will not be stable for the phone and particularly for gaming.
They have said that even the developer?s community and also advanced users of Android devices felt the same way and that is why Sony has decided not to release an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich for Sony Xperia Play.
It does seem odd that lower end devices will be getting an upgrade to Android 4.0 and not Sony Xperia Play but it is always believed that manufacturers of a particular device will never launch an update for it if they believe that it will not remain stable on it. People are still wondering how the Xperia Mini and Xperia Active will remain stable on the new Android 4.0 platform when Xperia Play can?t. But it is vastly believed that this could be due to the gaming feature of Xperia Play.
It seems that all versions of Sony Xperia (old and older) will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update sooner or later. There are still many ways of getting the 4.0 upgrade on Xperia Play but they will be through unofficial means. But if you want to use the Android 4.0 officially, then you are just going to have to upgrade your device. Although this is an option many people might not opt for as they buy the Sony Xperia Play so that they can play games on a portable device, a purpose which the Sony Xperia Play fulfills.
