Sony Xperia Go - ST27i – ST27a

For something that’s such a vital part of life, most smartphones can’t handle life’s little bumps. Now there’s an Android smartphone you never have to worry about. Xperia go is a dust-proof, water-resistant phone. Sure, you can take it on a hike through the rainforest. But it’s made for less dramatic challenges. Like a drop into the flour while you’re baking, a “surprise” dive into the fishbowl and whatever else daily life has in store.

Get the best out of your entertainment on the razor sharp 3.5” Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine. Want to watch your favourite show live? Don’t like waiting for your top sites to load? The dual core 1 GHz processor means your Xperia Go moves as fast as you do. Browse, stream and download what you like in an instant.

The wiggle of a loose tooth. The mist on your morning jog. Freeze the scene on a 5 megapixel camera that goes from sleep to snap in just over a second. Or capture the sights and sounds of everyday, in high definition video. Get something good? Post it on your favourite social site, or show it on your TV using DLNA.

Start a dance party in the kitchen. Connect to your TV and host a movie marathon. Choose from your own library of songs and videos, or tap into Sony Entertainment Network. With Music Unlimited, you’ll have access to millions and millions of tracks, while Video Unlimited has TV shows and a film catalogue that’s bursting with blockbusters. With one account and a digital wallet, it’s unlimited entertainment made simple.
