The Xperia Ray is .37 inches thick and comes with a 3.3-inch screen, Sony said. Inside, along with Gingerbread, the Ray runs on a 1Ghz processor and Sony’s Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA engine.
“We expect Xperia Ray to appeal to consumers who are looking for a combination of beautiful design and a rich feature set,” said Daniel Sandblom, the global product marketing manager for Sony Ericsson.
The Ray also weighs .22 pounds and has the interesting option of being available in pink or gold as well as the more traditional white or black.
Sony got tennis player Maria Sharapova to endorse the phone, but I was more interested to learn that it can withstand being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 seconds.
Both phones are expected to launch in the fall worldwide.
