Before the Sony Xperia Z wowed the crowd at CES, the Sony Xperia S was catching some attention at CES 2012 although it was overshadowed a bit by the Nokia Lumia 900; the smartphone with the translucent strip is going to get buttered up with Android 4.1 sometime in April, but we have some screenshots to show you now so you can grab a look-see at the Sony Xperia S all Jelly Beaned up with nowhere to go...

I prefer the swipe up and down to unlock screens like on Windows Phones. Really don't like the one on the S3.. and iPhone as well.

Don't lose hope my dearest Xperia S! JB is coming!
I hope Sony can still optimize Android 5 in Xperia S.

I find it funny when HTC launched Jellybean for the One X some months ago everyone was like "OMG, so late!! HTC SUCKS!" But now Sony is even latter and everything is alright.

"OMG, so late!! HTC SUCKS!"
Well I guess that is the opinions of HTC owners.
As for Xperia owners, yes, we can sometimes "hate" Sony for being late but at least they try to bring the latest OS.

Nah, mostly Samsung fanboys are the ones that bash HTC.

Sony is bringing updates late, but with NO bugs.
so that the update is perfect

3.4 kernel, people.

Thats because HTC promised Jelly bean, the xperia s was considered a dead device and nobody expected an update.

I agree Sony is late, but they always compensate it by bringing sumthin beautiful in their UI
