In the recent post they made on their blog, Sony discussed the risk factors in updating the 2011 Xperia devices to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, the post created a bit of chaos in the tech world and in the users’ mind whether to update their phones or not. Now it seems Sony is trying to clarify it; that they have updated their blog post. Sony says that the challenges to update the phones to ICS has been addressed by their SW engineering teams.
The main drawback they mentioned earlier was that the 2011 phones lack the RAM needed to run ICS, but in the updated post they say that they have optimised the RAM management by making the RAM usage for internal apps as good as possible and also they have added a Performance assistant that will provide you the option to enable/disable certain apps to optimise the performance.
Issues related to SQL database and h/w acceleration has also been addressed. See their update:
We we would like to clarify that above mentioned “challenges” have already been addressed by our SW engineering teams. For instance, we have not only optimised the RAM management by making the RAM usage for internal apps as good as possible, but we will also introduce a Performance assistant at start up when running ICS. In this Performance assistant, you can enable and disable certain services that you might not want to run on your phone, in order to optimise the performance of your phone.
We have also worked with quite a few partners in regards to architecture optimisations for SQL handling. In addition, we have also optimised the hardware usage. And as a result of this article, a number of app developers have notified us that they are evaluating if HW optimisation will be needed or not for their apps.
The aim of this article was to share our knowledge regarding the different characteristics for ICS and Gingerbread in an open way, as we strive to have an open communication with the developer community. All in all, we would like to point out that it’s our clear aim to deliver an as good ICS update as ever possible. As you might have seen on the Sony Xperia Product Blog, we’re not far from releasing it now. Thanks for all the feedback!
