[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] El Brillantinas:
Then, thanks to your argument, should I understand that other companies such ARM are better than Qualcomm? Galaxy Nexus has a Cortex processor, and there's no doubt it's gonna be updated to 4.4. Hell, Motorola Razr D3 has also a cortex processor and an old GPU but it comes with the promise of being updated to the next Android version (it currently has 4.1)... Then, why SONY doesn't give a bigger chance to ARM? And I don't mean that SONY should forget about Qualcomm, but, besides Xperia P, releasing other devices with ARM chipsets would be good, if that means more posibilites of delivering more Android versions to their devices; P is another perfect example, this phone has a Nova Thor chipset, a Cortex processor, it came with Android 2.3 and it's upgradable to 4.1, it got 2 major Android updates (the funny thing is Xperia S had the same updates, but with a Snapdragon processor). Android 4.2/4.3 are not major updates, 4.4 will be. Wanting Xperia T to get Android 4.4 is not a a crazy thing, it's completely fair.

A standard that SONY can't meet?? why not??

Mentioning the X10 case is normal, because SONY (formerly Sony Ericsson) did the same mistakes with Xperia Arc, and now Xperia S, both phones were the respective flagships of the company in the their moment. it took a long time to release Android 4.1 for the S. Xperia Arc came with Android 2.3 and it was updated only to 4.0.4 wich also was very delayed, buggy and slow. See? Old bad habbits are still there. I'd be sorry about Xperia Z getting Kitkat until july or august of 2014, if it gets it...

Now, this isn't a standard they can't meet, they just DON'T want to meet it. And they don't want to meet it because it's easier to focus on the newer devices and flagships, but I got a new for them: not all people have the posibility of getting the newest and most powerful device of the moment, because not all the world is rich, or people just don't want to spend lots of money to do so. Here in my country, there are people still buying the Xperia S because is cheaper now. But, what are they going to do when they realize they can't go further than Android 4.1? OK, this is about getting enough information before buying a new smartphone, but what do you think people do when they read Xperia S won't be updated anymore and that SONY usually give late updates or don't update their devices at all? Yeah, they go for a samsung device. And financial reports of both companies won't let me lie.

Of course, this is not in the 100% of the cases, there is another sector of people who don't give a f u c k about getting the newer Android versions, but you know what? they also get a samsung or lg device because they have cheaper devices...

The other companies have bad habbits too, but their kinda working on changing and be better. SONY is also working on it, I don't doubt it, but they still need to do better. Faster and efective updates would be the missing piece for being better than others because, at the end, all companies are competing for getting a good place in the market, for this, they need big sales and people's attention, without those things, any company is death. Most of the people are buying galaxies because the new technologies Samsung is implementing, and for the faster updates. I personally don't like samsung, I love SONY and I'm about to buy Xperia L, I just hope SONY delivers at least Android 4.3 to this phone and why not? Android 4.4. Google said that they want a good experience for everyone, hope "everyone" really means everyone.
