Though most users are waiting to get Android 4.3 and even Android 4.4, some devices still run the first version of Jelly Bean, Android 4.1. The Sony Xperia L is one such device and the Japanese company is (finally) doing something about it, rolling out the Android 4.2 update for this low-to-mid end smartphone as we speak.
The new firmware is available both over the air (OTA) and via Sony’s desktop software. It includes platform updates as well as newer versions of Sony’s own software and other app updates. Most notably, users will get a revamped homescreen, easier app tray sorting, new camera functions like Burst mode, as well as slightly redesigned UIs across Sony’s media apps.
If you own the Xperia L and your phone still hasn’t informed you about the new firmware version, hop over to Settings –> About phone and manually check for firmware updates. If that doesn’t work, you can either wait for another couple of days or install Sony’s desktop software and try your luck that way. It’s your call…
