Sony’s infographic shows why waterproof phones are useful

Sony has produced an infographic, which we’ve attached below, to highlight the benefits of a waterproof phone. Since the Xperia Z launched last year, the water resistance aspect has been a clear and key differentiator between other Android flagships, despite the fact that more recently some competitors such as Samsung have also followed suit.

The infographic has a number of different stats on it from the number of days it rains in some of the big cities around the world to the fact that 20% of damaged mobile phones are caused by dropping it down the toilet. Obviously, the infographic is there to extol the IP55/IP58 IP certification of the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet, but it’s interesting nonetheless. See the infographic below and click to enlarge.
