ya.. i dont mean swimming with the phone..i mean if call/ sms, i can talk/type without the need to cover the phone with towel..

Yeah, would be nice to be able to grab the phone if it rings and I'm in the shower. Things like that makes a lot of difference

That's not my point,i bring my acro s for swimming also,but the phone is NOT designed to do that,that's all i can say

Questions... It says... 1m submersion for 30mins.... So after 25mins i remove it from water.... will the time left for future submersion will only be 5mins or will it reset back?

Follow up... if it resets back... how long do i have to wait to submerge it again?

sudden realisation

It needs to be dried, then you can submerge it for another 30mins for not more than 1m

thank bro...

that is if u want ur phone to survive, there r tones of video in utube
tat ppl r summering their xperia waterproof phone more thn those written in safety instruction

just make sure the port cover is tight after each 30 mins
work 4 my xperia V

As much as i have faith in Sony... I would not challenge the safety guidelines...

Not gonna risk damaging mine.

You know what? Since they have propagated the feature, when you do it within the limits stated and something untoward happens, just send in for a warranty claim. But of course, you do not know the ramifications and may have to spend time in ensuring you come out unscathed.

how can they be sure if the phone wasnt submerged into the water for more than 1m or for more than 30mins?

Actually can,but just not recommended only

That is why I qualified what I said in my second sentence.

i meant i will submerge it bt not over the specified guidelines... Not Overly deep n overly long

There are some crazy folks out there who just may do it and challenge the establishment.

At the end of the day, the certification is just an organisation coming in to say "Yes, we have tested it and can confirm that under lab conditions, it can be submerged under water @ xx meters for xx minutes". That's all.

The device may be able to last double that period, double that depth or even both together. We will never know. It has just been certified for a set value.

Same thing with computer processors. Why you buy them, they are set at a specific clock speed. Of course you could always overclock it and what not to get a higher clock speed for higher performance. But the reason they set a default speed is just their official guarantee.

new sony xperia is coming, announcing in MWC next week

It a mid range. Anyway I wish tablet Z come together with xperia z.

Tomorrow mwc event we might c an international version of xperia tablet z. Somehow i hope sony will use a snapdrgon 600 proc rather than the s4 pro in the tablet z for the international version.

Anyway, I think will do Liquidpel treatment on Xperia Z . Double water protection.

Then i think this phone can be WATERPROOF already
