It is the mobile phone you can use in the bath or shower without fear – and can even survive being dropped down the toilet.
Sony has unveiled its latest mobile phone – and hopes the waterproof design will help it take on the iPhone.
The Xperia Z was unveiled at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas.
Sony says the handset, which has a 5in (12.7cm) screen, is capable of being submerged in water of up to one metre (3.3 ft) in depth for 30 minutes.
The firm says it can survive being dropped in a toilet, and if it gets dirty, can simply be washed under a tap.
However, analysts has the firm has a tough battle, with both Apple and Samsung set to reveal new handset in the coming months.
And the Xperia wasn’t the only waterproof gadget on show.
Sony announced a pair of waterproof headphones with built-in MP3 player.
The Walkman W273 is a light, flexible pair of wraparound earphones which are designed to work while you’re swimming.
The Walkman W273 goes on sale on 1 February for £60.
