Sony is the new Nokia. Xperia Z2 survives 6 weeks in the ocean.

I did a Forum and a Google Search before posting this. So here is a Article from: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Z2-lives-after-being-submerged-in-salt-water-for-6-weeks_id59223

 

Quote: ''Sony was one of the first smartphone manufacturers to embrace the idea of waterproofing its handsets. We still remember how the Sony Xperia Z caught everyone's attention at CES 2013, with a display that showed off the waterproofing of the phone. The Sony Xperia Z2 happens to be certified to withstand a submersion in water to as deep as 5 feet, for as long as 30 minutes. That is fresh water, by the way. Keep that in mind for the rest of this story.

But don't talk about the waterproofing restrictions to one Alexander Maxén from Gothenburg, Sweden. Good old Alex was waterskiing while on vacation, and while this might seem strange for most of us who keep track of our phones every second, he had left his Sony Xperia Z2 on the seat of the boat. So as you might imagine, once the craft started cutting through the waves, the phone fell into Davey Jones' locker. With the sea bed more than 10 meters deep, trying to recover the device was impossible at the time.'

Once they were back on terra firma, Alexander called the phone, which continued to ring, proving that it was still working (otherwise it would have gone directly to voicemail). Six weeks later, a friend of Alexander went scuba diving and retrieved the Xperia Z2. The bottom line? The back glass was shattered and the battery had completely discharged. But the LED indicator did light up when the phone was plugged in. And once recharged, the phone worked perfectly, even making phone calls.

 

Alexander decided not to repair the external damage, deciding to keep the phone in this state as a reminder of the six weeks that it spent in salt water, 10 meters below the surface. You can take a look at the Sony Xperia Z2 after it was recovered, by clicking on the slideshow.''

 

 

The screen seems to be in perfect shape

 

 

 

 

 

After reading this and seeing the drop test by Android Authority, I think Sony is the new Nokia.

I'm impressed, maybe the Z2 wouldnt be a bad idea considering the area I live in

[Vacsol]

as an Xperia Z owner, I can confirm this thing is pretty tough.

I dropped it a couple times in the shower while watching "unboxings and tutorials"

[Rheinwasser]

sounds cool, but this sounds kind of faked.

[flibberdipper]

Wow.

You dirty basterd haha.

 

Sony Z phones are always built excelent in comparison to samsungs toys and htcs ''grannys vase'' if you know what i mean...

I just washed my Z1 in the sink with dish soap. Who needs a cloth?!

 

I have also stood up with the headphones in flinging the phone about 10 feet on tile floor, only a small scratch.

 

And the shower, but really, for E-Mail. Not enough time to wait to reply!

I got the Sony Z2 almost a week ago. I even did a review today, but I am too scared to put it in water.

What you need is a Spigen case with ''Air Cushion Technology".

Too true. Ah Nokia. Thats one theory for the dinosaur extinction  

[Silent_Xaxal]

It's practically the Droid I want. Just need to hit my lucky break first.

[JaeDee884]

As a Sony fan this makes me happy, but I will say my Xperia Z was the worst build quality I've ever experienced in a phone, from the cover orings failing to the phone overheating to the point the glue melted and the back cover fell off (which isn't covered by warranty as it's a "known fault") now I won't buy a phone till its 6 months old, gives you a long life review set.

[Socky]

That's pretty neat, but I'm still not going to get a Sony device regardless.

[razor767]

I wish all smartphones were waterproof, I think it should be standard.

Please... 5110 is where it is at

 

 

It even has a wee stabby bit at the end.
