Sony confirmed yesterday it will bring the highly anticipated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to Xperia SP, V, T and TX in early January / late February.

One day after the official announcement, Sony got new Android 4.3 firmware builds certified at PTCRB. Both Xperia V and t received new firmware certifications and now the Xperia SP is getting the same treatment.

The folks over at XperiaBlog report Android 4.3 firmware 12.1.A.0.263 for Xperia SP has just been certified at PTCRB, which means is potentially one of the last builds of the major upgrade.

If nothing goes wrong and the current build fixes all the issues present in previous versions, we might see Sony kicking off the rollout of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update as early as next week. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
