Sigh, it was not a big surprise though…
Seeing how other (newer & higher model) Sony models are getting their firmware updates to Android KitKat but not the Xperia SP, I had long suspected that Sony, in the end, will not deploy Kitkat to SP model.
And today my suspicion has been confirmed:-
Sony Mobile has this morning confirmed that the Xperia SP will not be upgraded to Android KitKat

Read these as well:-
Not that I am desperate for an upgrade to Kitkat as the Jelly Bean v4.3 works just perfectly and handles my usual use of the phone without any problems. But if I decide to move on to Kitkat in the near future, all is not lost as I still would have an avenue to update Xperia SP to Kitkat via CyanogenMod.
But not at the moment…
