The Sony Xperia Go is built and designed for an active lifestyle. Whether you’re in water or on land, it will be enjoying the fun with you. So, let’s take a look at what you can expect from your trusty companion.
It’s a reliable, easy-going friend for the summer season; whether you take a dip in the pool or prefer to catch a tan on the beach, you can keep it close by because it’s water and dust proof.
Dust and water proof
The Sony Xperia Go carries a wallet-friendly price tag and because of this, the specs aren’t mind blowing. However, its design is very eye-catching.
Summer and spending time outdoors go hand-in-hand, and when you combine this with an on-the-go lifestyle, a phone with speedy connection to the internet and ability to run apps swiftly is essential – this is exactly what you’re going to get – it is, after all, called the “Go”.
