oh yeah and also the time under water...xperia z is supposed to stay 30 min under water and the guy said over 4 hours or till the battery fails.

30 min at 1 meters (this is in a box with water) and dust resistance. Z still made out of Dragontrail, so it help with fall damage, this is just a coating for making it waterproof

ok man..dont freak out about you "super phone"...this is a water test, nor dust or scratch test...i said things about the "water test"...the guy didnt say anything about how deep the phone can go...sony claims 1 meter, ok...this is a coating, also ok, but, they're gonna put it in a mass production, no matter what device and the Z is just one and thats the advantage the kostas12ldb was talking about..the most impressive of the XZ feature, for me and many people, was the water resistant feature in a beautiful design, which is gonna be made by other companies in a easier way no matter what design is.

So. Cool. I think battery life is my most desired feature outside of form factor but water proofing is really cool too. With this kind technology, it almost seems irresponsible to not use it.

i still don't understand how it works. do they coat all the holes in the device? how about the usb/charging port? how did it protect the removable back cover of the s3? does it not affect the removal/reattachment of the back cover? amazing tech. quite expensive though. i don't think samsung would want it. they're selling well enough without the waterproofing. not unless they can see an xperia sales surge which i doubt will happen (but i hope does).

It's like Liquipel tech, and I think Liquipel did it first. IDK, not sure.
you put the item (phone) into a chamber and do a vacuum then fill the chamber with the waterproofing substance and that coats everything, including all the internals.
I dont know about P2i's service, but Liquipel's waterproofing is almost on the way for local service because they essentially made a smaller version of their machines for local services (YES, going to a stall near you! SOON I HOPE).

Why can't he take out the phone and dips it in again? And how long does the coating stays on?

How does the water not get in though the speakers and microphones and the connecting slots?

In a year from now, no new high end phone will have an excuse for not being water resistant.
This is freaking amazing

"The water makes the battery drain quicker for some reason"
How come...? if the water is actually cooling the device, I would say it is making it last longer, or at least run healtier

Great for all the toilet droppers, or people who leave their phone on the counter when taking a shower. And then get surprised that their phone has water damage. & their phone doesnt work anymore. Steam is water people, lol

The "liquid" looks more like mineral oil instead of water. If it is mineral oil, then no wonder the device is still working.
