Jelly Bean has not been release for the Xperia S yet. It is scheduled for release end of this month, but likley to be next month sometime. It's likley to have the following based on the Xperia T

The latest Android software version from Sony including Jelly Bean, is now available for your Xperia™ smartphone.

There are many new features in this upgrade for your Xperia™ smartphone, some examples are:

• Updated, more intuitive versions of Sony Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies
  Lets you view and access all your photos, videos and tunes in one place.
• Increased options for personalisation
  A revamped home screen experience for handling widgets, apps and shortcuts… With up to 7 desktop panes, widgets that auto-resize and actionable notifications, you have complete flexibility to create the interface you want / need with a few simple touches!
• Improved app organisation and search
  Application tray sorting is that bit breezier – just press and hold on any app – move, add it to your desktop or create a folder within the tray by dropping it on top of another! We’ve also added a new search function within the application tray that makes it easy to locate your local apps.
• Improved camera functionality
  More intuitive viewfinder with the addition of auto scene setting, and the option to switch between front and back camera with a single touch.
• Google Now
  Combining the power of Google search and user profiling, Google Now helps you accomplish daily tasks more efficiently. Learn more about Google Now.

Thank you very much .. But some phones i have seen they have been updated to JB ..

Some people have may have chosen to install a custom ROM on their phones (not supplied by Sony) These are readily available on a few Andriod Development community wesites such as XDA. It usually involves unlocking the bootloader (which effectively does a factory reset on the phone) and/or rooting the device, I would not recommened this for the technically challenged.

The link is to the Xperia S Development forum on XDA. You'll see that there are a good number of different JB custom ROMS available for Xperia S, and that they all have various elements that don't work yet although some are pritty much feature complete.
