Xperia P is part of company's NXT series of smartphones. The features dual core processor, 4-inch display, 8MP camera, 1GB RAM, and 16GB internal storage.

There is no word on how this update will be rolled-out, but it is likely to be available via company's software update tool.

Like other devices in the NXT series, Sony Xperia P has been marred with the outdated software experience, but given the upcoming ICS update; we can expect it to emerge as a decent mid-range Android device.
