Users of the Sony Xperia S can expect to receive a notification to download the software update over-the-air (OTA) in order to upgrade their phones to the penultimate version of Android. Those who are in certain regions where OTA updates will not be available can simply use Sony's companion desktop software to access the software package. The update will be rolled out from today through the next few weeks.
