Not letting up on their new brand direction, the Sony XPERIA go is the latest handset to be announced in this post-Ericsson era, touting a healthy set of specs alongside some ‘toughphone’ credentials.

Ticking the Android blower boxes, the XPERIA go has a 1Ghz dual-core processor, 3.5-inch touchscreen and a 5-megapixel snapper, although is another handset from Sony to come with Gingerbread out of the gate and a promise of Ice Cream Sandwich in the future.

That being said, and despite an official IP67 rating for protection from dust, water and smacks, the XPERIA go still manages to look more suited to the boardroom than the building site with slender curves and weight of just 110g.

With a scratch-resistant mineral glass display and the ability to track grubby mitts via ‘wet finger’ technology, the XPERIA go seems to be an interesting – albeit a tad familiar in terms of aesthetics – addition to Sony’s burgeoning smartphone family and a true challenge to the likes of Motorola’s DEFY+.

The XPERIA go is scheduled for a Q3 2012 launch, in the fetching hues of white, black and yellow.
