Fancy a VIP trip to LA on us?

Hello everyone,

Today we bring you something that might just brighten those Monday blues…

We’re kicking off a BIG competition on our global Facebook page, giving you and a friend the chance to win a VIP trip to Los Angeles.

Simply head on over and check it out – you’ll be asked to answer four questions about Xperia go, revealed over two days.

For each correct answer, you receive 2 tickets for the virtual raffle. You can increase your chances of winning by inviting friends and family – for each new participant, you’ll receive an extra ticket!

From jaw-dropping tidal waves at Universal Studios’ Waterworld®, to rubbing shoulders with some of Hollywood’s more well-known residents at the Design for Humanity fashion show – winners will get a true taste of the A-List lifestyle!

The lucky winner will be drawn on Wednesday 4th July, around midday GMT.

Xperia go comes with extra durability without comprising on style – it’s the perfect entertainer and an even better travel companion… to LA, or anywhere!

Here’s why:

Departing for the airport…

It’s cold, wet and you’re loading the car with bags. In between frenzied rushing, packing, your significant other asking whether you’ve packed a toothbrush and your passport, you check your Xperia go to ensure you’ve got full battery for the journey.

But, you fumble and drop it, right onto the unforgiving wet concrete below… not to worry though, Xperia go is made to resist with scratch resistant glass and casing.

Beach day…

It’s time for some beach-sport, say volleyball? The joker of the group (there’s always one) takes Xperia go and motions to use it as a makeshift volleyball. As he/she tosses it up and misses, the joke’s on them as it thuds into the hot sand… unscathed.

Just remember to include a shot of their misfortune/embarrassment/horror in that all-important beach album ;-)

Dipping your toes in the water…

If you’re anything like me, and your Xperia smartphone is glued to your hand around the clock, then you probably wouldn’t remember to put it down before eagerly sprinting sea-wards?

Not worries, Xperia go is IP67 rated, meaning it’s fully water resistant and can stand up to 1m submersion, for up to thirty minutes.

Poolside… 

Xperia go is a poolside head-turner; durable and easy-on-the-eye with a stylish, elegant costume. But what if, clambering out of the pool, you spot a new email notification – being on holiday might be a valid reason for blissful ignorance, but Xperia go won’t let you use wet hands as an excuse…

It comes with wet finger tracking and scratch resistant screen; especially useful, when you claw in frustration at your boss’ missed deadline reminder…

Taking a break… 

No holiday would be complete without some chilled-out downtime – Xperia go entertains whilst you’re doing just that – whether it’s enjoying your videos on the 3.5″ Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA®, or enjoying tunes enhanced by 3D surround sound and XLoud technology.

Oh, and with a 1GHz dual core processor, you can browse, download and stream anything of your choosing… which works well, as you can enter our virtual raffle straight from your Xperia smartphone… what are you waiting for?!
