Sony today presented two smartphones that will be waterproof. They will hit the market in the 3rd quarter of the year.

The first model is Xperia Go, but in America it will be called Xperia Advance. It will have 3,5 inch screen that will be waterproof, and it has IP67 certificate who proves that.

It has 1Ghz dual core processor, 5MP fast capture camera goes from sleep to snap in just over a second, and the company decided the phone to be powered by Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but it will be   upgradeable  to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

The screen will be scratch resistant, and you'll be able to use it when your fingers are wet. It will be available in white, black and yellow.


The second one is the Xperia Acro, also waterproof model, but with larger screen (4.3 inches). This model will be Android 4.0, and there is dual-core processor at 1.5 GHz and camera with 12 megapixel.
