Flagship of Sony with a new picture showing water resistance
Sony posted a new picture on their Facebook page of what appears to be their next flagship. This time the device is seemingly splashed in a space filled with water and we all know what that means – water resistance. There is no other reason other than that to show such a picture for a flagship device if you are not planning on offering it as a option. Besides, when you take into consideration that its predecessor had a similar ability everything comes in place.
Sony jump started a new and interesting marketing campaign under the new slogan “The best of Sony is about to get better” and the first part of it that was posted earlier made it clear it is for “the smartphone everyone’s been talking about…” All the evidence points towards the upcoming Sony Xperia Z1 aka Honami. All the images that Sony has shown for now fit perfectly with the rumors that have been floating around and here you can see the expected specs of the device:
