Unlike Xperia S update to ICS, Xperia P update doesn’t have much issues.
Lil Issues that was observed in last few days after my udpate:
1. Picture zoom is not smooth
2. xloud feature makes me go crazy, I can hear cracking sounds. Had to disable this feature
and few intermitent issues.
But worth updating. I’m enjoying my ICS in XP.
