Phone of the future: Waterproof Phones

Samsung S4 Active and Sony Xperia Z

Source: Google


Samsung’s Galaxy S4 will likely be the most popular Android
smartphone of the year, and for good reason. It’s got great performance, a    
great display, an excellent camera, and more software bells and whistles than 
you probably have time or desire to count. S4 Active is arguably a more 
interesting device: it offers the same exact experience as the standard S4, but 
can take the same level as Sony’s Xperia Z.

Sony’s claims of waterproofing — backed up by IP55 and IP57 ratings, 
industry standards to let you know that a device is water- and dust-proof. 
You can also dunk phone in the pool or water. pull it out, and immediately 
start using it as if nothing happened. Shooting video underwater also works, 
without an issue.
