Will be using the phone naked.

Highly likely will not be able to slide into the dock if you have a case on it.

Just back from sg went to funan and tested out the z
First impression when holding the phone ... iphone5 feeling with 5" display lol so slim and sleek.
Super responsive. However didn't manage to test the camera in low light area. Price is 988sgd

Wow, $988 x 2.5012 = RM2,471... laptop pricing liao.

i think it was cheap for Singaporean, say if their executive basic salary is 2.5k sing dollar, the phone is still less than 1k. but here for us, if the price is rm2299, salary rm2.5k, remaining balance only rm200   

Need to eat Maggie mee for that whole month..
But atleast can stare at the new shinny phone during lunchtime while eating Maggie...bwahaha

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

(IP)(5)(7)

IP = Ingress Protection

5 = Dust protected
Desc - Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact

7 = Immersion up to 1 m
Desc:
Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).

Test Routine:
Test duration: 30 minutes
Immersion at depth of at least 1 m measured at bottom of device, and at least 15 cm measured at top of device


The reason why it's not 8 because for you to be able to get IP58 is


8 = Immersion beyond 1 m
Desc: The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. Normally, this will mean that the equipment is hermetically sealed. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects.

Test Routine:
Test duration: continuous immersion in water
Depth specified by manufacturer

and to get the IP67

6 = Dust tight

Desc: No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact


The highest level is IP68 which requires a dust tight and is capable of staying underwater for an unlimited time. Like submarines.

But this isn't dust tight because of the open ports. And also this can't emerge underwater for an unlimited time because the body isn't airtight and moisture can develop inside the case if submerged longer.



So.......... It is only stated to last 30minutes underwater because that's the criteria level of IP rules is not very specific enough.

So sony only have 2 choices for this... Either go with the rule to state the device that it can be submerged 1meter for 30 minutes or state that it can be submerged down below the water for centuries

So to summarize it all the 30minutes 1 meter is not the device limitation but just the certification's description.

Yup..same here.
Use the phone naked when it's new and shinny. Show off its beauty while we can. Once the phone have scratches here and there..then only we put on some casing to hide those scratches.
