Last month we reported that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro was receiving the Android ICS update and now the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini is getting its taste of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The update however will not be offered OTA (Over the Air). Users will have to head over to Sony’s website and see if their device SI (Sales Item) number matches that of the list of devices which are now receiving the update.
If your SI number appears on Sony’s list you can obtain the update by connecting your device to your computer through the PC Companion for Windows or Bridge for Mac.For those who don't know this device the Xperia Mini was part of Sony Ericsson’s 2011 lineup of Android handsets. It features a 3-inch touchscreen reality display with Sony's mobile BRAVIA engine, 5 megapixel camera which is capable of capturing 720p HD video, microSD storage and is powered by a 1GHz processor with 512MB of RAM.
Sony states that Android Ice Cream Sandwich offers a new phone experience for the Xperia Mini. If you own one of these handsets and have obtained the update, let us know if you agree.
Meanwhile Google has now introduced Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which offers an improved performance over ICS, and we are curious to see how many of the devices which received ICS which be treated to the faster and improved Android Jelly Bean.
