Sony Xperia Go Unboxing : Accessories, Packaging and Peripherals Check! In the Flesh Photos!

The sleek and durable Sony Xperia Go became a TechPinas Favorite this year - along with a handful of other amazing 2012 releases including Nokia 808 PureView, The New iPad (my #NewTattooiPad), and Sony VAIO T ultrabook - on the merit of its stellar specifications, gorgeous and slim design, affordable price tag, IP67 certification for being both water-resistant and dust-proof, and for being practically the handset to beat in the midrange Android smartphone category.

For those who are planning to purchase this smartphone this Yuletide Season or as soon as next month, here's how the packaging looks in the flesh:

Quoting TP, "Despite only having a 3.5-inch display - quite small for an Android phone these days [even for a midrange release], Sony Xperia Go nonetheless runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS - to be upgraded eventually to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich - skinned by TimeScape user interface with a [rather powerful] Dual Core 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 NovaThor processor and handles multitasking with a decent 512 MB of RAM. Users also get 4GB of internal memory, which is easily expandable via microSD card slot supporting up to 32 GB; That should provide more enough storage for photos and videos taken using the Go's 5 MegaPixel autofocus camera with LED flash and back-illuminated sensor, and its 720p video recorder."

You'll get a charger with two rounded prongs -- so you'll need an adapter to use it in the Philippines. I believe you can also charge the phone using other standard microUSB chargers.
