Sony Ericsson debuts XPERIA Ray and XPERIA Active in India

Sony Ericsson has announced two new Android 3.0 Gingerbread smartphones in India. Both the XPERIA Ray and XPERIA Active will run on Qualcomm's latest S2 Snapdragon processors.

Boasting of a 3.3-inch display, the XPERIA Ray can be classified as the younger sibling of the XPERIA Arc. It features a 1GHz processor and an 8.1MP camera capable of shooting HD videos. A very cool feature of the phone is that it uniquely incorporates wet finger tracking, to ensure the phone works perfectly even when either the screen or a user's fingers are wet. The phone is 9.4mm slim and boasts of Sony's Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine

The XPERIA Active is water and dust resistant which seems perfect for avid hikers and travellers. The display is scratch resistant and allows fingers to scroll even when wet, like in the Ray. The phone comes with a gear kit and is preloaded with sports apps so users can plan, monitor and log their training. The phone has a 3-inch display and a 5MP shooter at the rear.
