All the applications for your active life, including on-screen heart rate monitoring through ANT+
22 June 2011, Singapore –Sony Ericsson today
announced Xperia™ active, a compact smartphone targeting consumers with
an active lifestyle, in conjunction with CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore.
With a 3” screen and running the latest Android platform for
smartphones (Gingerbread 2.3), the phone packs Reality Display with
Mobile BRAVIA® Engine, a 5mp camera with HD video
functionality, and a powerful 1Ghz processor. Xperia™ active is dust
proof and water resistant* and uniquely incorporates wet finger
tracking, to ensure the phone works perfectly when either the screen or a
user’s fingers are wet.
The phone comes pre-loaded with sports apps that enable consumers to
easily track their fitness levels. Users can set their ideal training
route using the built-in GPS, Barometer and Compass. On-screen heart
rate and pulse can be monitored in realtime (enabled by ANT+ wireless
networking technology), while the iMapMyFitness app can monitor day to
day performance. Additionally, Facebook inside Xperia™ allows consumers
to share their progress and experiences with friends.
Fredrik Månsson, Global Product Marketing Manager, Sony Ericsson
said: “Xperia™ active is the ultimate smartphone for an active life. Not
only is it packed with all the features and applications consumers need
for a worry free mobile life, it also comes with a set of accessories
that make it fun and easy for them to take it everywhere, whatever their
daily plans are.”
Maria Sharapova, a three time grand slam winning tennis player added:
“I love this smartphone because it perfectly fits both my professional
and personal needs. It keeps me in touch with my friends as I travel
the world on the pro tour and tracks my fitness both on and off the
court.”
