Sony Xperia Active
Sony Ericsson announced two more Android smartphones, which it said “offer consumers unique design and technology for an entertaining experience.”
The company said that Xperia ray is targeted at customers who want a “sleek and beautiful design,” with a 9.4mm form factor and 3.3-inch screen. It has a 1GHz processor, and uses Sony technology such as a Mobile Bravia image engine and Exmor R 8.1MP camera.
Xperia active has a compact design and is dust proof and water resistant, and also “uniquely incorporates wet finger tracking.” It also comes “pre-loaded with sports apps.” Both devices are powered by the latest version of the Android platform (Gingerbread 2.3).
In addition, the company announced a new featurephone, called txt, which has a full QWERTY keypad and SMS shortcut key. It also has a “friends” application which enables users to see Facebook and Twitter updates from their top-five friends.
The device will be available in multiple colours, and will go on sale “globally in selected markets” from the third quarter. For its Android device owners, the company has added two new products to its Smart Extras accessory range. LiveDock is a docking station which “gives consumers the ability to seamlessly integrate their Sony Ericsson smartphone into their home,” while LiveSound is a wireless headphone accessory.
