The Japanese Sony's fixation for printing a certain off-road character on its terminals is not new. For a couple of generations, the Japanese company has been presenting mobile phones and smartphones that among their benefits included the argument of resistance to certain inclement weather as a point of distinction from the competition. In principle, only the terminals of the so-called rugged variety presented battle in this regard. Then, the North American Motorola opted to keep up with the Defy family. But since the Sony Xperia V, which has not yet reached the market, the Asian multinationalhe wanted to go one step further. It is no longer just that the device can withstand possible wetting or withstand the scourge of dust or sand. In addition, it must maintain elegance and design criteria that do not invite to think that it is a well-protected terminal against external agents.
In this sense, the new Sony Xperia Z is the quintessence of that aspiration. We knew it officially just a few days ago, and as we say, it includes among its characteristics the possibility of being partially submerged in water without endangering the operation of the equipment's circuitry, in addition to being able to resist the spillage of the liquid element on its surface.. In addition, it also withstands situations in which other devices would go into trouble due to the action of dust. However, at this point we will focus on the first description of endurance in water.
These days the Sony Xperia Z walks around the stand of the Japanese firm at CES 2013 in Las Vegas, and one of the tests that it reveals to visitors focuses precisely on this section. The friends of Phone Arena have taken good account of this and show how the Sony Xperia Z can be partially put into a small water tank without causing damage to the equipment, which is hermetically sealed so that there are no liquid leaks inside. That, as we say, does not play against a very attractive design. The Sony Xperia ZIt is finished with glass sheets on all sides, which gives it an appearance that is as aesthetic as it is apparently fragile, although it remains to be seen how it behaves in a shock and drop test.
The Sony Xperia Z is, together with the Sony Xperia ZL, the latest high-end presented by Sony. What we find is a terminal that, in addition to what is described, presents a technical picture that places it at the head of the smartphone market. It has a five-inch screen with FullHD resolution. Ie the same as that of the living room TV, distributes a canvas of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Its main camera achieve quality 13.1 megapixel photo mode, video recording quality, again, FullHD. Also, for the first time, Sonybet on a quad-core Snapdragon processor, capable of developing a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. On the other hand, it has a RAM memory of two GB.
