Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony: Don’t use waterproof Xperia phones underwater

Sony phones dont sell well anyway so no big deal.



Around the Network

They tried to get some phone sales via false advertising. Oh Sony....



Just for the record, my Xperia Z3 Compact hasn't suffered a bit from using underwater so far. I haven't used it underwater too much but I've done it a bit and it hasn't been a problem. And considering how little people have complained, I'd say their phones are able to be used underwater but there might be some rare problems with it. Also, even the page specifically mentions non-fresh water as a problem, so there's that too. (Doesn't mention the safety of fresh water either though, so...)

There's definitely a problem with the advertising though. You can't have an official guideline of not using the device underwater while advertising the device using material where it is shown working underwater. One of them has to go.

How does that even relate to the topic

It seems people with these phones can take pics underwater without problem. Now, the fact that they don't recommend it it's funny



Doesn't really matter. It's only waterproof so you can watch your animes and porn in the bathtub.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Sony doing false advertising??? I cant believe this!!



Wait what? I've recorded video underwater and taken pictures with my z1 and Z3+. I assume this is to cover their backs if something goes wrong
wrong.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Stupid marketing

They should have show instead someone under shower



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

then nor advertise them as waterproof sony

Neither do WP but that's neither here or there.

anyways don't they have terms like "Water resistant" or "Splash proof" for these kind of things?

It's probably best not to advertise your product doing something you don't recommend doing with your device.
