Sony-Ericsson Xperia active

Zitat: Sony hat mit dem Active ein sehr solides Outdoor-Handy auf die Beine gestellt und dabei fast alles richtig gemacht. Auch das Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt bei diesem Gerät. Leichte Schwächen sind nur der schlechtere W-Lan und Bluetooth-Empfang und die eher mittelmässige Kamera. Ich würde das Active Personen empfehlen, die sportlich aktiv sind und etwas raueren Freizeitbeschäftigungen nachgehen.

Zitat: Pro: + Solid body + dustproof + waterproof + responsive display Con: - Small screen - touchscreen is fiddly - armband is loose and bulky The Xperia Active is a neat, hardy smartphone that will survive whatever sporty users throw at it

Zitat: Pro: + Good battery life + Well-built device + Value for money Contra: - Small screen - Average specs We liked the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active for its solid build quality and unique design. The dual back covers protects the phone´s internals from water and dust, making it a perfect choice for those who use their phones outside. The preloaded fitness apps such as iMapMyFitness is a bonus for fitness enthusiasts who want a no-frills device to bring for their workouts. Its good battery performance is another brownie point. We disliked the small screen size although it has to be sacrificed for making the phone as compact as possible. It makes touch typing a pain, especially for those with bigger fingers. Although it is not meant to compete with the rest in terms of specs, it could have been better if Sony Ericsson equips it with better hardware. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Active is available at a recommended retail price of $498 (inclusive of GST) without a line contract. Compared to its immediate rival, the Motorola Defy ($528), the Xperia active is a better alternative for its overall better performance. However, with the Motorola Defy spending a significant amount of time in the market, you can expect a reduced price point from retailers if you look hard enough. Taking that into consideration, the Defy is a better choice for those on a budget, but we´d still say that Sony Ericsson´s offering is still more enticing.
