The new Sony Xperia ZR is a sleek and durable smartphone capable of shooting photos up to 5 feet underwater and even can stay under for up to 30 minutes, according to Vince Angelo De la Cruz, assistant manager for Sony Mobile.
According to De La Cruz, the immersion capability of the new Sony Xperia ZR is highest level of water-resistance for capturing photos and Full HD videos underwater for a smartphone.
This dust-resistant waterproof smartphone is IP55 and IP58 compliant—as such it can be submerged in 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes.
Since the touch screen capability of the phone isn’t responsive underwater, the Sony Xperia ZR features a dedicated camera key to let you shoot videos in full HD or snap pictures underwater.

In addition, this Android Jellybean smartphone offers top-of-the-line specs like a 4.6” HD Reality display, 13 megapixel fast capture camera, Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, and 4G LTE.
