The Sony Ericsson Xperia active is a 3-inch water resistant and dust proof smartphone that incorporates wet finger tracking so it can be used when wet. The Xperia active has been released in a few territories worldwide, but should see a wider release in the next few weeks.
Sony Ericsson has released a great promotional video for the handset that gives you a perfect idea of what can be done. It shows a city surfer using the handset whilst in action in Munich’s English Garden. He records some video whilst surfing and uses it to share some photos once out of the water. See the video below.
The Xperia active is armed with a 1GHz processor and will come with Android Gingerbread and Facebook inside Xperia. Other features include a 5MP camera, a 1200mAh battery, the Reality display with Bravia Engine.
