Xperia Arc and Xperia PLAY getting Android 2.3.3 update “next week”

Sony Ericsson is set to upgrade both its Xperia Arc and PLAY Android phones to the very latest mobile version of the operating system, with the updated Gingerbread version 2.3.3 set to start hitting the two new smartphones from next week.

(UPDATE: Sony Ericsson’s just been in touch to point out that the update will actually be Android 2.3.3, not the originally reported 2.3.4)

According to Recombu today, the update will include Sony Ericsson’s new Facebook Inside user interface tweaks, designed to make interacting with fellow humans on your telephone a little easier.

Still can’t stop looking at the Arc.

- Galaxy Nexus review
  Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good?
- HTC Sensation XL review
  The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest
- Motorola RAZR review
  Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
- Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray review
  A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
- LG Optimus 3D review
  LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
- Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo review
  A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?

  INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
