What has changed? People have used them underwater for a while now...
PS, PS2, Gameboy Advance, PS3, PSP, PS4, Xbox One
I use mine under water all the time. No issues here
Like on the bottle of surface cleaners where it says "99.9% of germs dead",
They are just covering their ass, they don't want to find out there has been a small defect with a component and half of their customers have submerged their phones under warranty thus leading to massive replacement orders and a division loss. This is a dissuasion technique and something that will be useful if they were ever brought to court for something.
I owned an Xperia Z and found it to be a fantastic phone and it held up under water with a lot of lime in it.... the glass was also excellent and survived many falls perfectly. The battery lasts longer than most others and the Walkman app is better than itunes. It is a huge pity more people dont buy them.
| binary solo said: I've taken several underwater pictures with my Z3 and it still works flawlessly. But I think if there is the slightest damage to any port covers or if a port cover isn't firmly in place then you will ruin your phone. So no doubt Sony is saying don't use the phone underwater because you can't be trusted to make sure all seals are fully in place. |
That makes sense. Basically like all those car commercials showing all the nonsense you can do with 4wd and pickup trucks, stuff I doubt is covered under normal use, flat out gets you arrested or will seriously damage your car. Maybe they should add "Professional photographer in clean water" as a disclaimer in the commercials :p
I have put mine underwater all the time and it is fine. Hell I remember reading about this one guy who had one work after falling off a boat and sitting in the ocean for 6 weeks.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

| KBG29 said: Better yet, don't use or buy an Xperia device at all. Call Sony out on this half explicitived, BS brand, on the Me Too OS, and show them they have to make a worthwhile product for a respectible price if they want your business. I had an Xperia Play, then an XZ, and finally an XZ3. All 3 were worthles, and the 3 worst investments I have ever made. Lucky, I got most of my money back on the Z and Z3. The XP, unfourtunatly, I just have to live with the regret and lost interest. |
So bad you bought them 3 times lol

There are Water Resistant Phones and Waterproof!
They fucked up marketing the phone LOL
Is it 2010 again or something?
This issue is very simple and has been known to those working in the phone industry for years. It's only there for legal reasons.
It's all to do with the IP classification.
Lets be honest who buys a water proof phone to take pictures in the pool/underwater. We all know why you bought it
Currently most hyped for: FFXV and Zelda U
