Sony Mobile Communications today announced the Beta release of Xperia Lounge – a new Android application available to download from Google Play.

It gives users backstage access to a world of Sony entertainment and VIP experiences direct from their smartphone.

Xperia Lounge is a destination for accessing new content from Sony’s portfolio of partners and sponsors on a smartphone.

It contains a diverse selection of content across music, sports, films and gaming that will appeal to a wide audience and can be activated anywhere across the world, says the company.

Consumers will be able to enter competitions to win tickets to experiences such as concerts, movie premieres or sporting events. It will also allow consumers to stream live concerts, get exclusive behind the scenes footage for new films, access music and even meet celebrities.

In the future users will also be able to personalize the app so that they get access to the content that interests them the most.

“The Xperia Lounge gives consumers access to unique entertainment experiences which only Sony can deliver. It is part of our wider mission to engage with consumers in a more intimate way by creating immersive experiences on their Xperia smartphone wherever they are,” said Stephan Croix, marketing director at Sony Mobile Communications.
