So according to Sony, they established the fact that Xperia Z1 is a waterproof device and as long as the device ports are shut properly, the phone is usable under water for at most 30minutes.

I guess someone might wanna ask if My phone was left inside water for 30minutes. Well, I Went to the pool today, and about leaving, I decided to put my phone inside water with a 30 seconds count down. After 30 seconds, I pulled my phone out and lo and behold, the phone isn't coming up again.

Now my phone is with the repairer trying to revive the device's life. All ports were shut properly and I wonder if it was a 30minutes countdown. Lol.

A lot of peeps have got this exact complaint about the Sony Z series phones. A South African woman even made Sony removed Waterproof marketing strategy off there advert records in SA on Sony Z series phones...

Just sharing my experience too to alert someone not to try this except you've got your warranty still up and running or you're ready to pay a phone service engineer.

Lesson learnt.

You have a Chinese version maybe. Because my friends own works perfectly well. You have to activate the camera before going under water and not more than 1metre deep or so.

I can only do this if I'm tired of the phone.lol

There's a certain depth limit. The most shallow swimming pool should b mo than that. There's increase in pressure going down the depth of any water body

Please post pictures!

I think I should try this

Even if it is fire proof ,why u go wan try am? You got what you deserve so don't complain, assuming the phone mistakenly fell on water then there won't be panic when you too deliberately drop the phone inside so that be afraid to panic cause you called for it. Happy phone damage bro.
