The struggle to nail down a decent rugged smartphone continues and Sony’s latest competitor, the Xperia Go, seems to be getting closer to mark than ever. And by close, we mean still really far away but, closer than anyone before. With both the Samsung Galaxy Xcover and the Motorola Defy Mini falling short of the mark on user interface with a pathetic single core processor and ancient Gingerbread, Sony’s Xperia Go boasts a dual core processor and IceCream Sandwich – yes, it’s no Jelly Bean but it’s the best we can hope for right now.



Key features for Xperia™ go

• 3.5” Reality Display powered by Mobile BRAVIA Engine gives razor sharp clarity
• 5MP fast capture camera goes from sleep to snap in just over a second
• Scratch resistant mineral glass display with wet finger tracking
• Highest level of dust and water resistance in a smartphone – IP67 Rating
• 1Ghz dual core processor gives consumers super fast performance
• Launching on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), upgradeable to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
• Available in black and white



We currently have a Sony Xperia Go in the office right now so keep checking back here as we’ll be taking her out for a test drive and reviewing it later this week!
