SE Xperia Active still toughest Android phone yet

Now here’s something that we don’t see often. How much battering can a smartphone designed for outdoors-man really handle? Here’s a video that might give you a better idea — the Sony-Ericsson Xperia Active crash test.


The Sony Xperia Active is put to a stress test and survived scratch free and still functional. A smartphone enthusiast as I am, I had a hard time watching this video without squirming or looking away ever so often.

Whether you’re convince or not that this device can really take on all that nature has to offer, it is clear that this phone really has armor that can rival an armadillo. Its hard shell also doubles as a resistance to water for up to a meter for 30 minutes.

Here are the other things this phone has to offer:

Body: 92 x 55 x 16.5mm
Weight: 110.8g
Display: 3” Bravia Mobile Engine powered capacitive screen
320 x 480 pixels (192 ppi) with Dragontrail scratch-resistant glass
Storage: 1GB expandable up to 32Gb through microSD.
Camera: 5MP with LED Flash, Autofocus, image stabilization, geo-tagging and face detection
OS: Android 2.3 (ICS Upgradeable)
Processor: 1.0GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon, Adreno 205 GPU
Battery: 1,200mAh Li-Ion

Dragontrail Glass is manufactured by Asahi Glass Corporation. It directly competes with the more popular Gorilla Glass by Corning.

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the easiest
    thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

    Just want to ask about its GPS performance… anyone using xperia active with endomondo or runtastic? How well did it perform with those apps? How long did it get GPS positions?

    I am still looking for an IP67 phone that I can really use with endomondo or runtastic (running and biking) ^_^
