Sony Xperia: Teaser indicates extremely waterproof smartphone or tablet

The IFA 2014 is just around the corner, but Sony is not tired to post more teaser. With the latest information for upcoming Xperia products the viewer finds himself at the bottom of a swimming pool again - a smartphone or tablet not you see there though, but with the lettering "2m?". This little subtle message is likely to be an indication that the upcoming Xperia devices can withstand more severe extreme conditions under water. 

A unique feature of the flagships of Sony introduced at the beginning of the era of Full HD smartphones protection against water and dust is: An IP55 / 57 certification, as they had the Sony Xperia Z (test) at the time, was actually Outdoor smartphones reserved accordingly, an exciting feature. Well, times have changed and but also competitor products such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 can demonstrate appropriate IP standards. A new teaser According to Sony in 2014 but could imagine at IFA devices, which may have a considerably better protection against water. The picture is actually out of the water and the bottom of a swimming pool is not much to see - in the middle but denounces the question followed by the hashtag "SonyIFA" "2m?". Therefore quite possible that the presented tools, such as the Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact, perhaps as the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, 2 meters depth, or even be able to survive more easily. 

The Sony Xperia and Xperia Z2 Z2 tablet certified to IP58 standard against water and can therefore already for half an hour to a depth of 1.5 meters survive under water. So far, this is considered the highest possible degree of water density, which is possible with mobile devices. If the new smartphones and tablets from Sony so actually dives can make in extreme depths, the equipment for serious swimmers should certainly be more attractive - which also represent for the Xperia Z2 apparently six weeks under water not a big problem. We are in any case at the launch of the new Sony device at the IFA on site and will provide you with all the information in a timely manner. 

Could you benefit from smart phones, which are more than 2 meters of water? Tell us about your application scenario in the comments.
