Sony Mobile on Friday confirmed that it no longer plans to update its Xperia Play smartphone to
Android 4.0
Ice Cream Sandwich due to compatibility issues with the device’s gaming features,
Phone Scoop reported. “Ice Cream Sandwich demands more from the phone hardware than Gingerbread,” a
Sony
spokesperson said. “Android 4.0 is a more powerful OS and thus, more
resource intensive – applications require more RAM, CPU power, and
network bandwidth. From internal testing and feedback from the
developer community on the beta ROM software release, we have seen a
significant decline in user experience when running high performance
games, as they are more demanding on the hardware. As gaming content is
so integral to the core Xperia Play proposition, we cannot recommend an
upgrade.” Sony’s decision will affect both the AT&T and Verizon
Wireless models, as well as models sold overseas. The Xperia Play
launched on Verizon last May and AT&T this past September.
