One of the questions that Android users more likely to ask is: when my phone will be updated? And they also ask the same question for the manufacturers of their phones, since the major criticism of this process is the delay of such companies to release updates. Sony Ericsson, perhaps to avoid further headache with eager customers, decided to show the exact reasons for this delay happens.
The process is slow because it involves three major steps: the adaptation of the original source code, certification and approval of operators and Google itself. You know, for example, that the source code of Android comes standard with support for processors from Texas Instruments? All manufacturers that use a different set of hardware that needs to adapt the source code for their own components. In the case of Sony Ericsson, they must adapt Android to Qualcomm's chips, which are in line Xperia phones.
More details are available in this blog post on the official Sony Ericsson in Brazil. The text is huge, really detailing these three phases and provides a novel perspective for those who thought that just get the Android source code, compile and play on smartphones.
The original explanation was published in the U.S. Sony Ericsson's blog earlier this month course in English. But now that he found relevant was translated to bring it to light, which should at least calm the hearts of users waiting Eager for updates.
