Sony Xperia mini with Android 4.0
To my knowledge updating an official firmware is easier than updating a generic android version. I'm a poor person and I can't afford the official Sony products.
Most android firmware to my belief are available in the official Sony website, but there is a debate whether the quality exceeded among Xda developers as they develop more quality firmwares than the official ones.
Like instance I own a Chinese android and it contains a firmware called overhead. This firmware is better, has a lot of bug fixes than the original one.
Hey if want to know the latest firmware that is unofficially release go to this Website.
Also check out CyanogenMod,
It isn't officially also cause the official update is available in mid April.

Actually, upgrading your Smartphone’s firmware to the latest Android version will depend on your device.
