The latest arrival to the Xperia family, is the hyperactive type who can’t sit still.
The Sony Xperia Active sim free is billed as “A tough smartphone for an active life”; with this description you’d expect features that you normally wouldn’t get on your everyday smartphone, and the Xperia Active doesn’t dissapoint. So what makes this phone right for the adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers among us?
The first thing youll notice with the handset is that it’s a little bit thicker than most smart phones on the market, but there is method to the madness, with the extra thickness comes extra protection against the elements and the accident prone. The Xperia Active is both dust and water resistant. The water resistance is especially cool (just look at the video underneath). The other key feature the handset boasts is something called “Wet-finger tracking”. This basicly means that you can now send that text in the Great British weather and answer the obligatory telephone call half way through your shower.
Along with these cool features the Xperia Active also boasts other features you’ve come to expect from an Xperia phone. These include the Bravia mobile display engine, DNLA connectivity for outputing your phomes content to a DNLA enabled device, HD video recording, 512MB RAM, 5 megapixel camera and a 3″ backlit LED screen.
Not only can the Xperia Active be a companion to your thrilling leisure life it can also become a mini personal trainer. Through the ANT+ compatibility the Xperia Active can monitor and record your vitals as you workout by communicating with a compliant pulse band or strap. This not only means you can keep track of your fitness but also share it with the world through the handset.
If the sim free Xperia Active sounds like the phone to keep up with your white knuckle life you might want to grab some Xperia Active accessories as well or maybe even an Xperia Active case for those times you come down from the mountain or come up for air.
