Accidentally dropped one of my x1's in the bath a week ago, whilst it was powered on.

Fished it out and placed it to one side whilst i finished my bath, 30 mins later got dressed and tested. All that was wrong was that the speakers were muffled, so I ran a hair dryer of the speakers for 30 seconds and hey presto all ok.

One week later still charging still playing sound as a good as ever.

You can only trust reviews so much, but its the end-user that matters and I can personally attest to longevity of Sony Phones!

Hello @Gilgameshuk,

thank you for sharing that experience.

i am glad even soapy fresh-water with reduced surface tension doesn't penetrate the protective measures put in place.

With salt water that whole story could have played out quite differently though.

Quite possibly

A few years back saw someone dip an xz2 in a CHLORINE pool for 30 mins it was the only phone that survived

The general advise after submerging the phone for a longer time is to switch it off, dry it and submerge it into dry rice for several hours, preferably a day before switching it on again.

A smartphone is an expensive device, better not take the risk of destroying it.

Biggest question was, what were you doing and what were you going to film in the bath..Going to remake "Jaws", or something! ha-ha! 😁

I also photographed with Xperia 1 in the water, there is no need for a hair dryer. My profile picture is half the phone in the water, half the phone out of the water
