Mesauring 55 x 92 x 16.5mm dimensions, the Xperia Active is a social networking integrated phone runs on Android 2.3 OS. The handset sports a 3-inch Capacitive touchscreen display, a 5MP camera with digital zoom for HD video recording and playback, FM Radio, 512MB RAM, 320MB internal memory and up to 32GB external memory support to store your favorite multimedia stuff. It comes with two covers. You can go back to black in the outback, or show off with sophisticated white at work.

Like a tough hand phone, this time packaged in Active design does look compact, dynamic and protective impression you get when holding it, and that's what we really feel. Besides appearing in her formidable physical outside, the interior consists of a layer of anti-absorption, which means when the phone is splashed into the water or fall to the ground, then water and dust will not interfere with functional phone system, plus a wet finger sensor that is able to make your access the menu even if the phone in wet conditions. But alas, of all the toughness has to offer, the dominance of the touch screen is still a vulnerable side when it hit the other solid objects like, coins, key chains, or stone. With the 'macho' characters, it seems you still have to worrying his physical endurance.
