We expect Sony Mobile to offer at least Android 4.3 Jelly Bean upgrades to most of its high-end smartphones, but we're still waiting for the company's confirmation that some of the mid-range devices will receive the update as well.

XperiaBlog reports that at least one mid-range Sony smartphone will eventually get the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update at some point this year.

Sony Xperia SP has been released earlier this year with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean onboard and is likely to directly receive the Android 4.3 upgrade.

French carrier Free Mobile points to a December 2013 release for the long-awaited Android 4.3 update for Sony Xperia SP. However, this will be neither the first nor the last Sony handset to receive the said upgrade this year, so stay tuned for more info on the matter.
