It is clear that this phone has an awful lot more artificial intelligence than some of its owners.
I think there should be some sort of IQ test before a sale is made, The poor phone deserves wiser ownership than some are capable of offering.
The phone is not, I repeat, not water proof its water resistant with a clear caveat to that definition.
Have any of you seen the You tube clip of some moron dropping a lump hammer on the phone to 'test' the glass. Again the only test needed is not with the poor phone but the sadly mentally challenged owner.
+10, yep too many people throw water proof around even many review experts, which narks me. Because pretty much everything is water resistant that people mention to be water proof.
(Waterproof) - Impervious to or unaffected by water. (Impervious) - Not allowing something to pass through; not penetrable. Water resistance doesn't fit into these categories.
Same goes shatter proof vs shatter restistant
ditto scratch proof vs scratch resistant.
Huge difference in all cases. will all things resistant, there is a limit to its resistance

Sorry to correct you mate, but you are dead wrong....
Unless Sony lied in their entire documentation, the IPX ratings are the ones that determine the difference between these two seemingly similar concepts:
Waterproof: Can withstand immersion for at least a limited set of conditions (time/pressure).
Under IPX ratings, anything deemed to have been accepted under IPX5 through 8 is waterproof (it does not need to adhere to all of them since things like 6 is for items meant to get blasted with high pressure fluid streams).
Water Resistant: Cannot withstand the effects of immersion at all without water penetrating through.
IPX1-4 are for water resistance. They will shield you from some incoming water but not all and they certainly cannot be immersed.
Again, these standards are quite rigid and you cannot simply slap them in the packaging without having them properly tested and certified. Sony would not risk getting sued out of existence by pulling a move like marketing a water resistant item as waterproof, particularly if they are stating that the item has been certified under recognized standard international certifications.
Sorry dude, I have never seen any Sony docs that state it is waterproof, all state water resistance and IPX ratings are water resistance ratings not waterproof. Eg WR Watch is IPX8 rated to the depth specified, again this is not waterproof but water resistant. Based on the fact that it is not Impervious to or unaffected by water, you could argue that it is above the specified rating. But it will be certainly affected once you go beyond this limit.
anything that is below IPX7 will never be classified truely as waterproof, because it has a limit to the time spent in water, therefore not impervious to water, but resistant.

so my swatch wrist watch which is water resistant to 100m depth cant go in the water or it will be flooded ???
Maybe, maybe not, but very likely that the seals will give in to the pressure of the water beyond that level.
Pressure is the reason watches have limits to the depth.
And I dissagree again not waterproof, again you will see very few manufacturers claim that their products are Waterproof, because at some point electronics WILL become impervious to water.
