Sony Ericsson announced Xperia active, in conjunction with CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore. It is a compact smartphone targeting consumers with an active lifestyle. With a 3” screen and running the latest Android platform for smartphones (Gingerbread 2.3), the phone packs Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine, a 5MP camera with HD video functionality, and a powerful 1Ghz processor.
Xperia active is dust proof and water resistant and uniquely incorporates wet finger tracking, to ensure the phone works perfectly when either the screen or a user’s fingers are wet.
The phone comes pre-loaded with sports apps that enable consumers to easily track their fitness levels. Users can set their ideal training route using the built-in GPS, Barometer and Compass. On-screen heart rate and pulse can be monitored in realtime (enabled by ANT+ wireless networking technology), while the iMapMyFitness app can monitor day to day performance. Additionally, Facebook inside Xperia allows consumers to share their progress and experiences with friends.
Sony Ericsson Xperia active will be available globally in selected markets from Q3 2011.
