The Sony Xperia acro S (known as the Sony Xperia acro HD in Japan) is a dust and water resistant Android smartphone produced and developed by Sony Mobile Communications.
Xperia acro S fully builds on the success of Xperia acro HD in Japan, which was a bestseller in the country for NTT DoCoMo for 10 weeks since launch in March 2012. The only difference in the global version from the Japanese version is that Japanese-specific features such as infrared port data exchange, mobile wallet and mobile TV functionality are not included.[2]
