Sony Mobile issues statement on new waterproof guidance

Last week, we reported on an apparent change in policy from Sony Mobile on its waterproof Xperia devices. Sony has today come back with an official statement on the matter. The statement says that the change in guidance and marketing is to “clearly illustrate the best ways to protect devices in day-to-day usage” and to “better advocate sensible usage of our devices.”

Sony goes on to say that the “warranty terms provided for our products remain the same” and that any communication on the parameters around IP ratings is “to help customers to protect their smartphones and tablets in line with the applicable warranty we provide.” The full statement can be seen below.
