Sony, a company that’s been known to make waterproof cameras and smartphones, have recently launched a new addition (and sort of upgrade) to that lineup called the Xperia ZR. The new android device packs similar flagship-level specs in a more weather-resilient body – packing full waterproof and dustproof capabilities combined with a physical camera button to enable you to take pictures underwater. As we all know, the higher-end Xperia Z also resists water, but only to a shallower depth and without the ability to press the virtual shutter button on the screen. The new version touts that said operability in exchange for a smaller and HD screen instead – bit more affordable too at about PHP 26k. Hop over the jump to watch our video preview and to check out the full specs!
