Sony announced a few new smartphones last month, one of those was the new Sony Xperia Go, and now it would appear that the device is about to launch in the US as it has just appeared at the FCC.
As a reminder, the Sony Xperia Go comes with a 3.5 inch Reality Display with Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine, and it is powered by a dual core 1GHz processor and comes with a 5 megapixel camera.
The Sony Xperia Go will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box, although Sony has promised an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the device is designed to be waterproof and dustproof and conforms to the IP67 rating.
Key Features and Specifications
The Sony Xperia Go is designed to be a robust and durable smartphone, making it an ideal choice for users who need a device that can withstand harsh conditions. The IP67 rating means that the Xperia Go is completely protected against dust ingress and can survive being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. This makes it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, construction workers, or anyone who needs a reliable phone in challenging environments.
In addition to its durability, the Xperia Go boasts a 3.5 inch Reality Display with Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine, which enhances the visual experience by providing sharp and vibrant images. The dual-core 1GHz processor ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks and moderate multitasking. The 5 megapixel camera, while not the highest resolution available, is capable of capturing decent photos and videos, making it suitable for casual photography.
Software and User Experience
The Xperia Go initially ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, an older version of the Android operating system. However, Sony has committed to providing an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which brings a host of new features and improvements. Ice Cream Sandwich offers a more refined user interface, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and better overall performance compared to Gingerbread.
One of the standout features of the Xperia Go is its user interface, which is customized by Sony to provide a unique experience. Sony’s custom UI includes various enhancements and tweaks that make the device more user-friendly and visually appealing. For example, the Timescape feature aggregates social media updates, messages, and other communications into a single, easy-to-navigate interface.
We don’t as yet have any details on when the Sony Xperia Go will launch in the US, as soon as we get some more information we will let you guys know.
