Android's new major version is called KitKat, it will be brought to a wide range of devices.
What do you guys think, are our devices getting it?

Sony will never upgrade budget phones beyond 4.0/4.1. You guys will remain forever here.

Personally I doubt that our devices (Miro/Tipo/E/J) will not receive KitKat.
Reasons being;
1) Sony hasn't given Miro and Tipo 4.1+ nor have they given E and J 4.2+
2) Developers haven't wanted to give Miro and Tipo 4.2+ nor have they given E and J 4.3.
3) Although it is Google's aim to release 4.4 to as many devices as they can we are all low budget and low end specs meaning that there would have to be some serious optimization.
We may as well face that our devices have reached their EOL now.

We have 4.1.2 and this is the end. Deal with it. If you want newer android, buy new device or learn porting.

There is no sense in creating threads like this one.

Xperia J and all the phones in this section are entry level phones and will remain on 4.0/4.1 forever.

Talking about Sony they only cares the new devices , like the Z series ,maybe its time to change to a new phone :( or unlock the bootloader and wait for the developers

I know it's easy to say but, I think FXP or any other great developer should (at least) try porting 4.4 to our devices (JLo) because we have the "minimum requirements". We should keep in mind that JB requirements are "bigger" than KK ones, and Google said:

RAM (or memory) is one of the most expensive parts of a phone, and now Android can run comfortably on the 512MB of RAM devices (like JLo) that are popular in much of the world, bringing the latest goodies in Android 4.4 within reach for the next billion smartphone users.

So KK would be great! There's no harm in trying.



Sorry for my English :p

FXP already said they are not supporting Xperia J anymore and you guys should stop hoping for upgrades to budget phones from Sony.
