Sony has announced the Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V will receive the Jelly Bean update to Jelly Bean from February to March.

Xperia P, Xperia J and Xperia Go will receive updates from the end of March and the subsequent weeks will see the Xperia S, Xperia SL, Xperia ion and Xperia acro S getting upgrades.

Bad news for Xperia U, Xperia miro, Xperia tipo and Xperia sola as they will get a maximum upgrade of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich but no Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

We hope for some more news on more phones getting upgrades in the New Year.

Sony has launched the Xperia Tipo in India for Rs 9,999. The phone runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone is available in both single-SIM and dual-SIM variants. The dual-SIM model costs Rs 10,449.

It sports a 3.2-inch display which is reinforced with scratch-resistant mineral glass, a 800MHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 1,500 mAh battery, 2GB internal memory, up to 32GB of expandable memory via a microSD card slot, and free 50GB of Box cloud storage.

Sony has partnered with Vodafone to offer users of the Xperia Tipo free 500MB of 3G data for three  months. Additionally both the Tipo and the Tipo Dual will come pre-loaded with a number of India centric apps such as Bollywood Hungama, Dainik Jagran and Cricbuzz.

On a side note Sony India also announced that starting from September 2012, the Sony Mobile smartphone unit had integrated with Sony India as part of the ‘One’ Sony ethos.

Key Specifications:

Sony Mobile, is on a crazy launch spree with its Xperia series. First it launched the Xperia S at CES, then at MWC it showcased the Xperia U and Xperia P and then later it released the Sola. Earlier in the week, the company added another device called the Miro and along with it came the Xperia Tipo and the Xperia Tipo dual, the latter being a Dual-SIM incarnation of the Tipo.

Weighing at just 99 grams the Tipo is quite a small device. It features a 3.2-inch scratch resistant display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and runs a Qualcomm 800MHz processor along with a relatively large 1,500 mAh battery. One can find the usual Sony XLoud audio tech also embedded in the device, so for audiophiles this might be a good choice if they are on a tight budget. Notably, Sony Mobile is saying the device will ship with Android 4.0 out of the box. As of now, there is no piecing information on the device, but head down for more details on specs.
