The Xperia GO will have IP67 certified dust and water proofing. It offers the same protection against water immersion as the Xperia acro, but ups the protection by being totally dust tight. It will include a 1350 mAh battery. The device will come pre-loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but it should be upgradeable to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) later on. We expect it to be priced around Rs. 20,000 when launched in India.
