Sony unveils bath-friendly Xperia Z smartphone
Science and culture
Sony has announced a new smartphone that can be used in the shower or bath without the risk of damage.
This water-resistant feature is relatively common in Japan, but has not been included in many top-end smartphones released elsewhere, BBC reports.
The Xperia Z can also record HDR video, a facility borrowed from its camera division.
One analyst said it was evidence of Sony Mobile making progress but added "it still had a mountain to climb".
The Japanese company announced it was taking control of the smartphone unit - which had previously been a joint venture with Ericsson - in October 2011.
