Swimsuit models test the water resistant Sony Xperia Z

The Sony Xperia Z caught everyone's eye at CES with that 5 inch, FHD screen, 441ppi pixel density, and quad-core processor. But what really made show attendees stop was the way the phone was set up to show off its water resistant feature. We even shot a quick video to show you how the phone was dunked and didn't miss a beat. Yeah, making your phone water resistant seems to be the new black for OEMs this year, and we were treated to an amazing display at the P2i booth at MWC last month.

But perhaps the best way to display how water rolls right off the Sony Xperia Z was revealed by a T-Mobile store in Prague. Using both male and female swimsuit models, the store showed how you can even use the Sony Xperia Z in the shower. For those of you who wished they had the handset to use in the shower right now, we imagine it would be a long, cold one.
