Sony Ericsson Unveils Xperia Ray and Xperia Active


Building on the success of Xperia Arc that was released earlier this year, Sony Ericsson has just announced two more new devices under their Xperia series during a media event just few hours ago here in Singapore. Named as Xperia Ray and Xperia Active, both devices are designed to cater different types of consumer.
Powered by 1.0GHz processor, it runs on Android 2.3 a.k.a Gingerbread operating system and comes with a 3.3-inch touch screen that Sony Ericsson dubbed as Reality Display which is equipped with Mobile Bravia hardware accelerator. Just like the Xperia Arc, the new Xperia Ray comes with an Exmor R CMOS sensor for its 8.1-megapixels camera but not for its front-facing VGA camera though. It also boasts a slim profile design with a body that is 9.4mm thin.

Moving on, the Xperia Active comes with the same 1.0GHz processor, a Reality Display with Mobile Bravia engine and Android 2.3 operating system just like the Xperia Ray with the exception of a smaller 3.0-inch touch screen and a standard 5-megapixel camera without the Exmor sensor. Since it is designed to cater active lifestyle, the Xperia Active is dust-proof and is able to stay underwater up to 1m in depth for 30 minutes.

In addition to that, the Xperia Active touch display is able to track one’s fingers even though they or the display itself are wet. The Xperia Active also comes together with active lifestyle-oriented apps such as Walk Mate and iMapMyFitness well as the ability to connect to heart-rate monitor through ANT+ wireless technology. It also comes with accessories made for active lifestyle such as a wrist strap and an arm case right inside the box.

Both Xperia Ray and Xperia Active are scheduled to be out in the market sometime in the third quarter of this year. However, their pricing are not available for the time being
