The Xperia Ray runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with a 1GHz processor, 512MB Ram and up to 32GB storage through microSD card. It also includes a 3.3in screen and packs an 8.1Mp camera.

If signing on the dotted line for a monthly contract doesn't appeal, the handset can be picked up sim-free from £299. ®
