Sony has released the ‘slimmest’ large-screen mobile, which includes an awesome feature – It’s waterproof!
Water damage is one of the most common accidents that render phones useless, or result in expensive repair bills (ahem, Apple). However, Sony hopes to tackle this pet-peeve of mobile users by selling a waterproof model, which Ravi Shanghavi Ottawa thinks will be incredibly popular due to this feature.
The phone has a massive 6.4 inch screen, and is surprisingly slim for this size. It comes in at just a fraction bigger than Samsung’s Galaxy Mega, which offers obvious display benefits for media, however some users used to a smaller device may not like this huge screen.
The screen itself is 1080p, which delivers a beautifully crisp image, one that Ravi Shanghavi Ottawa believes matches the quality of Apple’s Retina devices. Along with this, the phone includes software that automatically ‘upgrades’ lower quality graphics, however Ravi Shanghavi Ottawa is skeptical about such a bold claim.
The phone also boasts an 8 megapixel rear camera, which is an essential in any new phone. This will certainly be good enough for your Instagrams and tweets, and Ravi Shanghavi Ottawa thinks this could even rival the iPhone’s camera.
Another feature that may sway iPhone users is the upgradeable memory, which can reach 64GB worth of SD card storage. This is far better than Apple’s non-upgradeable system of memory, and Ravi Shanghavi Ottawa thinks this may impact buyers decision when browsing smartphones.
To wrap-up, the Xperia Z looks like a serious contender for the smartphone market this year, as it is made from premium materials and has incredible build quality. As well as this, its waterproof feature will be very tempting to iPhone users who fear the H2O and its crisp screen a crowd-pleaser to all. Ravi Shanghavi Ottawa is not, however, expecting this to overtake the iPhone – it looks like the iPhone will remain the number one device for a while, especially with it’s updated iOS.
Stay tuned for more tech news and updates!
