The Sony Ericsson Xperia ray and the Xperia active — will be making their way to Malaysia in Q3 of this year. Xperia ray is something like an Xperia arc mini with its 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8.1MP camera with Exmor R and 720p video recording capabilities. The only difference between the ray and the arc is that the ray runs a 3.3-inch while the arc has a 4.2-inch display. In any case, both displays utilises Sony’s proprietary Reality Display technology and is enhanced with Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine.

Also interesting to point out is that the 3.3-inch screen on the Xperia ray has the same 854×480 pixel resolution as the arc, but the screen on the Xperia ray is smaller, you get a higher pixel density which means crisper images.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia active is Sony Ericsson’s version of a rugged Android. The Xperia active is rated IP67 which means it is dust and water resistant in waters up to a metre deep and can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes. It also features wet finger tracking, barometer, pedometer, pulse meter, HD recording and runs on Android Gingerbread with a 1GHz processor.

In addition to this, the Xperia active features a Bravia Mobile Engine enhanced 3-inch 320×480 Reality Display and a 5MP camera with 720p HD-video recording.

Details are still preliminary but it’s pretty much confirmed that the two devices will be coming to Malaysia.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 will launch in Malaysia this Saturday, August 20 sometime around 9am. Celcom and Samsung can’t wait to launch the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Celcom will be the first to launch the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1(16GB, 3G version), exclusively, for a short time period. Maxis may launch the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 too but believe that Maxis might delay that.

For those that feel 10? tablet is too huge to handle, Samsung is also having the Galaxy Tab 8.9, which offers smaller dimensions with its 8.9? screen. What you see above is one of the early hands on of the 8.9? variant.

Compared to its larger Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, there are some differences in terms of placement. The stereo speakers are located at the bottom while the power and volume rocker are placed at the top.

The rest of the specs should be similar with its Galaxy Tab 10.1. Which Tab would you go for? The 10.1? or the 8.9??

Samsung Malaysia will complete Samsung’s tablet trio by bringing in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 to Malaysia as well. The Galaxy Tab 8.9 will be launched around one month after the 10.1 hits Malaysian stores. So if the Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes out this month, the 8.9 could be here sometime around September or October.

In term of specifications, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 has virtually identical internals save for the fact that its screen is smaller at 8.9-inches.

And that’s all we know for now. As always, pricing and other bits of information with regards to the 8.9 is not available at the moment — but as soon as we know, you’ll know.
