Probably the most expensive bit of kit we all seem to carry
around with us these days is our mobile phone. But mobile phones can be quite
delicate creatures, and can easily slip out of your hand. Some of the more
expensive handsets come with such impossibly slim profiles it can sometimes
feel like you're answering a bar of soap!
Enter the tough phone. Built to last, a tough phone is ready
for every knock, bump and bruise you can throw at it. Tough phones are great
way to enjoy the benefits of having a mobile phone without the worry. From
builders to socialites, everyone likes to have the reassurance that their phone
will not end up on the scrap heap.
Tough phones were a welcome addition to the market when they
first made an appearance a few years ago. Traditional construction companies
like JCB marketed them to trade professionals as well as to people who wanted a
basic phone without the worry. But there was a gap in the market. These same
people wanted a tough phone, but they wanted it smart and high end. Enter the
Xperia Z.
Xperia Z
The Sony Xperia Z is an ultra-high-end tough phone. With a
feature list that includes a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and a 13 megapixel
camera, the Xperia Z is the handset to watch for 2013. So what tough features
does the Xperia Z have? The first is a shatter proof front and back. Sony uses
Dragontail glass on the front and Gorilla glass on the rear. Traditionally
handsets use one or the other types of glass to improve their toughness, but
Sony has gone for both in the Xperia Z in order to give it tough credentials in
as slim a body as possible.
The second is the body of the phone. It's made from a
glass-fibre polyamide, the type of material that is often used in the car
industry as a substitute for metal. It's incredibly strong yet lightweight,
ideal for use in a tough phone.
The third tough feature is of the Xperia Z is dust and
waterproofing. That's right; the Xperia Z is waterproof, with rubber caps
protecting its external connector's. It has the ability to withstand immersion
in up to one metre of fresh water for as long as 30 minutes. This really is a
unique feature in a phone. No more worrying about dropping your phone down the
toilet or getting caught in a shower! The Xperia Z has ingress protection
ratings (IP) of IP55 and IP57.
So, if you're looking for a tough phone but with high end
features to embarrass then the Sony Xperia Z could be the one for you.
