(iTers News) - Sony Mobile Communications unveiled two innovative mobile devices- SmartWatch 2and 6.4 inch full HD smart phohes.
Dubbed as the most advanced smartwatch available, Sony SmartWatch 2 is a second screen for your Android smartphone, working as a multi-functional watch, notifier, Android app interface and phone remote control, all-in-one.
SmartWatch 2 is also both sleek and reassuringly robust thanks to its water and dust resistant design, giving you the freedom to enjoy it on the beach or simply on the go - come rain or shine.
Wearable
A typical smartphone user reaches for their phone many times a day to read messages, check the time, view and make social media updates, use their favourite apps, take photos, listen to music and play mobile games. SmartWatch 2 addresses this need by offering you a convenient touch screen device so you no longer need to remove your phone from your pocket or bag.
App expandability is key to Sony SmartWatch 2. It can be personalised with more dedicated apps than any other smartwatch* to seamlessly suit your needs, whether you are on the go, keeping active, in business meetings or simply at home."Sony is the proud leader in the smartwatch market since introducing our first Bluetooth watch in 2007," says Stefan K Persson, head of companion products at Sony Mobile Communications.
"The future of wearable devices is incredibly bright with analyst research predicting 41 million 'smart' watches will be sold by 2016," continues Persson. "We have over 200 unique apps dedicated for Sony SmartWatch with over one million downloads to date and we are continuing to work with our strong developer network to deliver ever more compelling smartwatch experiences."
It's easy and convenient to access notifications from your wrist such as messages, calls, email, Facebook and Twitter Calendar, or use it as a remote for your Walkman™ or other digital media player.
This wireless accessory is ideal for pairing with large-screen devices, such as the newly announced Xperia Z Ultra, in situations which call for discrete usage.
SmartWatch 2 introduces new features as a natural successor to the current Sony SmartWatch such as NFC connectivity for one-touch pairing, featuring higher resolution for sharper viewing, better visibility even in sunlight, longer battery stamina, more intuitive interface, and standalone watch functionality.
When not connected to your phone, SmartWatch 2 works as a standalone digital watch. Sony SmartWatch 2 SW2 will be available worldwide from September 2013.
6.4-inch phablet
Sony also has introduced new Xperia Z Ultra waterproof smart phone in what the company is the slimmest and largest ever available in the market.
Running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, the 6.4-inch smart phone is the first commercial model that has 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 quad-core mobile SoC at its core.
It also incorporates a full HD TRILUMINOS Display for mobile, which is powered by Sony's latest X-Reality for mobile picture engine to deliver the most immersive viewing experience imaginable.
