2 new Xperia smartphones for Sony.

Sony have today announced 2 new smartphones, the Xperia go and the Xperia acro s.

The Xperia go will be available in the UK from July (pricing and colours to be confirmed) whilst at this time the acro is not expected to reach the UK.

So what do both devices offer?

The stand out features for these devices have to be their water resistance and scratch resistant miner glass which means that they gain an IP rating.  We have seen how popular this is with the Motorola DEFY smartphone so Sony seem to have taken notice and followed.

Whilst each device has its own specifications both have a vast array of connectivity options not to mention they come pre-loaded with Sony’s Music and Video Unlimited service.   Allowing you to gain access to movies, TV series and music on the go.
