Sony fans who might have been waiting for devices that are more versatile have the reason to be happy as the Japanese Electronics Company just recently announced yet another pair of smart phones. This time, these devices are built to prevent water and dust penetration and withstand pressures from bumps and fallouts. Sony Xperia Go and Acro S could be the most robust and versatile smartphones Sony could ever release. Let’s talk about the respective specs of these devices, although I will be basing the facts on the press release Sony sent to us.
Sony Mobile has already launched separate pages for these two devices in its official website. Xperia Go stresses on being waterproof; it is reported that this device can carry on commands even if the user has wet fingers. Capacitive touchscreen display doesn’t really like wet fingers that much but Sony has a solution to such problem. While this is not the first waterproof smart phone we’ve seen, it is amazing to know that it will operate normally even if the commands were initiated by wet fingers. With this, we can say that you can bring this device under water and make a call, send message or view multimedia files while being submerged. The thing is, you wouldn’t worry so much about your phone getting fried because Xperia go met the IP67 dust and water resistance standard. It could even be the first ever smart phone to get such standard and that’s something you could be thankful for if you are a hopeful owner of this device.
Xperia go sports a 1GHz dual-core processor paired with 512MB of RAM. Basically, Sony doesn’t what this device to compete in terms of specs and performance but in terms of versatility and under water operation. This smartphone best suits the lifestyle of beach bums or people who often walk in the rain. Being waterproof means you can use this smartphone outdoor irrespective whether it is raining or not. With 5-megapixel camera, I am left thinking how good the capture would be if you’re taking photos under water. With 3.5 inches screen, for sure this device is pocket-sized and portable and you can always bring it with you in your pocket anywhere. There is no information as to the price of this device but Sony said it will be made available in Q3 2012 in black, white and yellow colors.
Sony Xperia acro S basically comes with a little advantage over Xperia go as far as specs are concerned. It sports 1.5GHz dual-core CPU and 512MB RAM. It also stresses on the fact that it can operate without problems under water or if a user’s hands are wet. Compared to Xperia Go, Xperia Acro S comes with a bigger screen of 4.3 inches and has a Full HD resolution at 1280 x 720 pixels. While its little brother will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread pre-installed, this handset will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich so there wouldn’t be any update-related problems. Amazingly, it will also sport a way better camera with 12 megapixels leaving an impression that it might have better photo captures when submerged.
The specs are apparently competitive and many would be attracted to it for such reason. But its versatility and capacity to work under water just made this handset even more attractive. You should also not forget its being bump-resistant as it is actually one of the things that could make this handset safe. It will be made available in the third quarter this year in black, white and pink colors. There is no information as to how much this device would be marketed.
