Sony delaying Android 4.3 for Xperia SP, No ETA yet “work in progress”

Xperia SP users are now bombarding us with comments when they will get android 4.3 firmware update as when it was promised to be delivered in December 2013 only. Android 4.3 12.1.A.0.253 firmware was certified a week ago on PTCRB website and a few days back we saw Android 4.3 9.2.A.0.276 firmware for Xperia T and Xperia V getting certified on PTCRB and now questions arises is Xperia SP getting android 4.3 at the same time with Xperia T and Xperia V now ?

We asked official Sony Xperia Support on Twitter regarding the ETA of Android 4.3 Xperia SP update and they replied that “Sony is still working on it” and should come soon though no ETA was given by them.

[ UPDATE – 9 Dec ]
