Sony Ericsson Xperia Active - pictures




Sony Ericsson Xperia Active

   Active is another Xperia smartphone announced by Sony Ericsson two days ago in Singapore. As the name may suggest it to you, the device is made for people who have a passion for sports or have an active live style and do not want to worry about dropping the phone down, in water or if will resist in a construction site environment.
   The most important features are:

-- DISPLAY:  LED-backlit LCD, capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, 320 x 480 pixels, 3 inches, scratch- resistant surface.
-- CPU:  Qualcomm Snapdragon 1 GHz processor.
-- STORAGE:  320 MB for internal, microSD card slot up to 32GB.
-- CAMERA:  Primary - 5 MP, 2592x1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, HD video recording with 720p.
-- CONNECTIVITY:  3G HSDPA, HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Bluetooth, micro-USB, HDMI port, 3.5 mm headphone jack, A-GPS.
-- SENSORS:  Accelerometer, Proximity, Pressure, Barometer, Compass.
-- BATTERY:  Li-Po 1200 mAh
-- MULTIMEDIA:  Sony Mobile BRAVIA® Engine and Exmor R™ for mobile
-- OS:  Android Gingerbread (2.3), Timescape UI, Adobe Flash support.
-- APPLICATIONS:  Google Apps, social apps, Skype, NeoReader, PlayNow, SenseMe, TrackID, xLoud, iMapMyFitness.

   Active can be kept under 1m water up to 30 minutes, has wet finger tracking multi-touch display and is dust proof resistant. More than that, it comes with pre-loaded sports applications making for users to easily track their fitness program and monitor the heart rate and pulse in real time through a ANT+ wireless technology. Although it has only a 3 inches screen I see this phone in direct competition with Motorola Defy which will receive Gingerbread update soon and has a spot  in same dust proof and water resistant category.
