In February 2013, Xperia V and T went live on their Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update and Sony made a promise to Xperia TX users that they will be the next receiver. Sony kept their promise and the update has been available for several days!

The owners of Xperia TX can now install the Jelly Bean update for their devices using the Sony PC Companion software and receive all changes and improvements.

The new software brings a number of different Sony features and the rollout will continue to ramp up over this month and the next. Some of the new blended features with Android Jelly Bean for Sony Xperia TX includes:
