Waterproof smartphone from Sony

Sony Mobile Communica-tions has introduced Xperia Z1, a new waterproof smartphone that combines the very best of Sony's technology, entertainment and wide range of companion products with a unique and groundbreaking camera experience. Xperia Z1 is being launched globally in September.
"Xperia Z1 represents a significant milestone for Sony in our continued efforts to deliver unforgettable experiences to our consumers," said Kunimasa Suzuki, president and CEO, Sony Mobile Communications. "Not only by bringing the power of Sony to the smart phone and through close collaboration with our partners but also by setting a new standard in premium smart phones."
The elegant, 5" Xperia Z1 is the latest addition to Sony's premium Z series of products and brings Sony's proven world-class technologies to the smartphone like never before, including the very best of Sony's camera expertise.
Xperia Z1 features Sony's award-winning G Lens with a 27 mm wide angle and bright F2.0 aperture, custom made large 1/2.3-type CMOS image sensor Exmor RS for mobile with 20.7MP and a BIONZ for mobile image processing engine.

The combination of these technologies delivers the same level of quality and performance as a conventional compact digital camera in a slim, waterproof smart phone. Indeed, independent testing has confirmed that Xperia Z1 provides the best overall image quality of all leading smartphones1. This means that Xperia Z1 captures beautiful, sharp and bright images even in lowlight conditions. High shutter speeds and 3x clear image zoom also prevents shots from being blurred while enabling them to be captured at distance.
