Xperia xz premium moisture protection. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium smartphone will receive protection from moisture and dust. ⇡ Design, ergonomics and software

01.10.2021 General

The main feature that Sony highlights in its flagships and some other smartphones is assigning them a degree of protection against dust and water in accordance with IP certification. In this short review we will tell you which Sony Xperia is waterproof and what degree of protection it has. With the advent of the first models with protected housings, Sony began to actively advertise this opportunity, because this distinguished smartphones from their competitors. Shooting underwater, no worries when the phone fell into water or was spilled on it, and others life situations with liquid that could simply destroy any other phone, in the case of protected Sony Xperia models seemed like a trifle.

However, even here there are a number of limitations. Firstly, the phone should not be immersed too deeply or for a very long time, secondly, swimming in liquids other than fresh water is prohibited, and thirdly, you need to be careful to ensure that all the necessary slots are closed. The ruler tablets are also protected from water.

What do the certification numbers mean:

And so, here are the waterproof ones Sony phones Xperia:

Sony Xperia Z5 (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z3+ (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z3 (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z2 (IP55 / IP58)

Sony Xperia Z1 (IP55/IP58)

Sony Xperia Z1 Comapct (IP55/IP58)

Sony Xperia Z Ultra (IP55 / IP58)

Sony Xperia M5 (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia M2 Aqua (IP65/68)

Sony Xperia Z (IP55/IP57)

Sony Xperia ZR (IP55 / IP58)

In the latest flagship Z5 line, as they say, “out of harm’s way,” Sony did not so clearly describe the protective properties of the models’ bodies, saying only that they have a degree of protection and this can help you out in different situations.

However, it is not uncommon for owners of waterproof Xperia models to drown their smartphones. Why did my Xperia drown? Causes:

  • Failure to comply with operating rules
  • Possible marriage.
  • The plugs are not closed.
  • The plugs simply dried out/were worn out and do not provide proper tightness.
  • The phone was dropped, after which damage could appear that is not visible to the eye, but affects the sealing properties.
  • The glass has peeled off a little.

In contact with

Before you start using your Sony device, be familiar with its capabilities and limitations. Whether you take your device with you outdoors or on a weekend trip, follow simple instructions so that it works perfectly in any conditions.

Let's look at IP protection classes and how they affect device capabilities.

What is IP protection class?

The IP rating is an international standard for assessing the level of protection a device has against exposure to dust and fresh water. The first digit of the two-digit IP protection class indicates the degree of protection against the penetration of solid particles, including dust. The second number shows the degree of protection of the device from exposure to fresh water.

IP0X. No special protection

IP1X. Protected against solid objects > 50 mm in diameter.

IP2X. Protected against solid objects > 12.5 mm in diameter.

IP3X. Protected against solid objects > 2.5 mm in diameter.

IP4X. Protected against solid objects > 1 mm in diameter.

IP5X. Protected from dust, penetration limited (no dangerous deposits).

IP6X. Dust-proof.

IPX0. No special protection

IPX1. Protected from dripping water.

IPX2. Protected from dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees from normal position.

IPX3. Protected from splashing water.

IPX4. Protected from splashing water from all sides.

IPX5. Protected from low pressure water jets for at least 3 minutes.

IPX6. Protected from exposure to powerful jets of water for at least 3 minutes.

IPX7. Protected from water when immersed to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

IPX8. Protected from the effects of water when immersed to a depth of more than 1 meter for a long time. Details of the acceptable conditions of use for each specific device see manufacturer's documentation.


Your device has been assigned an IP protection class. This means that in a strictly controlled laboratory environment, this equipment operates normally even after exposure to certain conditions.

Sony devices tested for water resistance are carefully placed in containers filled with tap water and submerged to a depth of 1.5 meters. After 30 minutes in the container, the device is carefully removed, and then its functions and capabilities are checked.


Got caught in the rain at a bus stop? No problem! Your Xperia device can withstand raindrops and splashes of water, indoors or outdoors.

Likewise, if you accidentally spill water on your device while sitting at the dinner table, you don't have to worry. Just let yours dry completely.

Perhaps you love watching videos from your Xperia device while cooking. (Great idea by the way, you're a true multitasking ace!) Most importantly, don't drop your device in water and wipe off any drops of water when you're done.


There are other ways to take advantage of your Sony device's water and dust resistance. The device can be used in the following scenarios:

  • with wet hands;
  • when exposed to dust, such as on the beach during windy conditions or when walking along a dusty road. After use, be sure to wash off all dust from the device with tap water.
  • Taking photos and recording videos in wet conditions. Do not use the device underwater. If the device is accidentally exposed to water other than fresh water, rinse it in tap water.

Don't forget about the lids...

Before exposing your device to water or dust, be sure to familiarize yourself with its specifications and also be sure to securely close all covers, including the Micro USB port, SIM card slot, and memory card slot covers. Some devices do not have a cover for the waterproof Micro USB port. If such a device has been exposed to water, it is important to completely dry the USB port before inserting the USB cable into it. To remove moisture from the USB port, shake the device several times (with the USB port facing down), then use a microfiber cloth to wipe the device dry. Repeat the procedure if there is still moisture on the USB port.

  • If the device is accidentally exposed to water that is not fresh water, such as chlorinated pool water, be sure to rinse the device in fresh water.
  • If moisture gets into the speaker or microphone, it may not work properly until it dries completely.
    • The device's IP rating was achieved in laboratory conditions in standby mode, so it is not recommended to use the device underwater, for example for photography. Do not use the device to take photographs while underwater, including while diving or snorkeling.
    • Drying time depends on environmental conditions, but the process can take up to three hours. During this time, you can use all functions except those that require a speaker or microphone, such as taking photos, checking email, or sending text messages.
    • Do not dry wet parts with a hairdryer.
    • Routine wear and tear and damage to the device can reduce its resistance to dust and moisture.

    Warranty, repair and maintenance

    It is important to know that this warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by mishandling or misuse of the device. Also note that compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, headsets, and Micro USB cables, are not themselves water or dust resistant.

    If you have any other questions about using your device, please contact customer support. For warranty information, see " Important information» in the setup guide on your device.

    Spring has arrived, and with it the big announcements from Sony. At MWC 2017 in Barcelona, ​​the company announced four new smartphones and a multimedia projector based on Android. And now it’s time to talk about the new products in more detail. We decided to slightly change the format of blog posts, and first of all we will talk about the flagship Xperia smartphone XZ Premium.


    The Xperia XZ Premium has the same style as the original Xperia XZ, presented last year, the only differences are the size (due to the larger display) and the location of the volume keys (they remained on the right side, but moved higher). So what's new?

    1. 4K HDR display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. Yes, 4K was already in the Xperia Z5 Premium, but the current flagship uses a new generation IPS matrix. It has a better color gamut, more accurate color rendition and higher brightness and contrast. In normal mode (on the desktop, in utility applications, in in social networks and so on), the screen displays the picture in Full HD resolution, and when playing a video (and it doesn’t matter in what application), the display turns on at full power. The difference is visible to the naked eye. Content originally recorded in a lower resolution is automatically upscaled to 4K.

    2. Motion Eye Camera. A flagship smartphone would be unthinkable without a new camera. New camera uses the Sony IMX400 module, which is not yet available to other manufacturers. The matrix resolution is 19 megapixels, the lens has a digital stabilization system, but the most interesting thing is that the CMOS sensor has its own memory modules, which significantly improve its speed characteristics. Thanks to this, Xperia XZ Premium can shoot HD video at up to 960 frames per second. A little later we will definitely show how it works.

    3. Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform. It's official: Sony Xperia XZ Premium becomes the first smartphone to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip. The central processor is eight-core, 4 cores operate at frequencies up to 2.5 GHz, 4 other cores at frequencies up to 1.9 GHz. RAM will be 4 GB.

    4. IP68 protection. In Sony's home market of Japan, protection against dust and moisture is nothing new. This is a completely standard option for most mobile phones. We will not create entities, so the Xperia XZ Premium will have the same characteristics for all countries of the world. Well, the IP68 standard, let us remind you, implies a half-hour stay under water at a depth of up to one and a half meters.

    5. Fresh take on classic colors. Sony Xperia XZ Premium will be available in Deep Sea Black and Luminous Chrome. Approximately at the beginning of June 2017. We will definitely announce the exact sales date and recommended price for Russia a little later.

    In the meantime, you have a great opportunity to ask absolutely any question about the XZ Premium, and we will tell you everything in detail in the comments.


    Sony smartphone Xperia XZ Premium not only has a modern appearance, but also a powerful filling. The new generation Snapdragon 835 processor, which currently has no competitors, is responsible for performance. In addition, the new product has a 5.5-inch screen with excellent 4K resolution and highly sensitive cameras, capable of replacing a camera in many cases. Below is a review in which we will try to figure out whether the gadget is worth its price.

    • Read also a review of a Sony smartphone for 12,500 rubles.

    What's included in the Sony Xperia XZ Premium package

    In a compact box along with the smartphone there is network adapter, which is used to charge the gadget, and a USB cable used to connect the product to a computer. There is also a miniature device for removing memory cards from the tray and stereo headphones. Like all the company's products, the smartphone comes with a user manual and a warranty card.

    Design Sony Xperia XZ Premium


    The front and back of the case are made of durable Gorilla Glass 5 and are connected to each other using an aluminum side frame. Both halves have mirror surfaces, which girls will appreciate. An oleophobic coating is provided to protect against grease stains, which does not fully cope with its function and fingerprints are still visible. The angular shape of the case does not spoil the appearance of the product; the corners of the metal frame are rounded, which significantly improves the ergonomics of the device. Thanks to the IP68 degree of protection, the device is not afraid of dust, moisture and can operate underwater at a depth of up to 1.5 meters. The manufacturer produces this model in three colors - black, bronze and silver. With dimensions of 156x77x7.9 mm, the gadget weighs 191 g.

    The screen occupies 69.65% of the front side area. There are no mechanical buttons under the display; interface keys are used to control device functions. At the top there is traditionally an auxiliary camera lens, a notification LED and a speaker, which, in tandem with the main one, participates in music playback and creates surround sound. On the left side there is a hybrid slot for SIM cards and microSD, protected from dust and moisture by a plastic plug. The tray is designed to connect two nanoSim cards or one SIM card and a memory card.

    On the right side there is an oblong power activation button with an integrated fingerprint sensor, a volume rocker and a key with which you can take photos or videos. At the bottom there is a USB port for connecting to a computer and charger, and a microphone. At the top there is a 3.5 mm jack for connecting a headset. In the upper left part of the rear surface the manufacturer installed:

    • the main camera lens, protected around the perimeter by a steel ring to protect the lens from minor mechanical damage;
    • photo flash;
    • laser autofocus sensors;
    • IR remote control emitter.
    In the center is the inscription XPERIA and there is an NFC area for wireless connection with other compatible equipment at a distance of up to 10 cm. As with all equipment from this company, the smartphone was assembled without any significant comments - there are no backlashes or gaps.

    Sony Xperia XZ Premium: specifications


    The 5.5-inch display is based on an IPS matrix with wide vertical and horizontal viewing angles (178° each). Amazingly high 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels) and pixel density up to 801 ppi allow you to display clear and detailed images on the screen. Support for multi-touch technology (up to 10 touches) ensures smooth image scaling. With a maximum brightness level (up to 700 cd/m2) and a contrast ratio tending to infinity, you can watch videos without color distortion even in sunlight. HDR10 technology expands the dynamic range of shooting and displays a balanced image. The presence of the upscale function reduces the display resolution from UHD to FHD when working with content and applications that do not support high standard Images. This reduces energy consumption. Thanks to X-Reality technology, it is possible to add clarity and saturation to a photo or video image by “drawing” additional pixels. In addition, other important parameters can be noted:
    • aspect ratio - 16:9;
    • color depth - 24 bits;
    • The color palette according to the sRGB standard is 138%.

    Sony Xperia XZ Premium hardware


    The heart of the gadget is a powerful 64-bit Snapdragon 835 processor with 8 Kryo cores operating at 4x2.45 GHz and 4x1.9 GHz. Given the advanced characteristics of the chip, there is no need to worry about its competitiveness for a few more years. An Andreno 540 video card with a clock frequency of 710 MHz is responsible for processing and displaying images. Thanks to dual channel random access memory LPDDR4X 4 GB capacity, the smartphone supports many popular programs and applications. Personal information, music, photos, videos and games are stored using 64 GB of built-in memory. If necessary, it can be increased to 128 GB by connecting:
    • microSD;
    • microSDHC;
    • microSDXC.
    When working with “heavy” applications and energy-intensive games, the case noticeably heats up. When tested using the AnTuTu system, the model scored 180 thousand points, thus overtaking the iPhone 7. Considering that operating system The gadget is the seventh version of Android with Nougat firmware, you can be sure that the software will be up to date for the next few years.

    According to Google statistics, as of May 2017, the number of devices running AndroidNougat is 7.7% of all Android devices in the world and their number continues to grow by an average of 2.2% per month. Due to the peculiarities of the OS, it is possible to use a large number of paid and free applications that can be downloaded from PlayMarket.

    Cameras and multimedia Sony Xperia XZ Premium


    The gadget has a 19 megapixel camera model Exmor RSI MX 300 with a physical sensor size of 1/2.3 inches. Initially, the manufacturer will “test” it on its devices, and in the future there is a possibility of supplying it to other companies, such as Apple, Samsung and others. The module uses a “proprietary” algorithm for working with Bions images, which came to mobile gadgets from professional cameras. It allows you to quickly process the camera image and recognize movement in the frame.

    The module uses a 6-lens GLens lens with a minimum focal length of 4 mm, capable of macro photography from a distance of 12 cm. For high-quality camera operation, the manufacturer has provided laser autofocus and an IR-RGB sensor located next to the flash. Laser focusing is used for objects located in close proximity to the lens. Phase detection autofocus is used for long distance shooting. The IR-RGB system optimally sets the white balance with different powers of artificial light sources, resulting in pictures with excellent color rendition.

    Among other hardware features, I would like to note the unique shutter mechanism, which allows you to clearly photograph moving objects, and an additional button located on the right side of the smartphone body. If you hold the button for a long time, the camera is activated even when the screen is off; if you press it briefly, the shutter is released. In the settings you can set the volume control as zoom.

    The camera can shoot in automatic or manual mode. With the first method, you need to press a button, and the electronics will do the rest. In the second mode, it is possible to set the required shutter speed in the range from 0.0002 to 1 second, change the white balance, perform exposure compensation, and smoothly adjust the focus.

    Photos in daylight are clear, without blurring in the corners. When shooting at night, the noise reduction system is activated and at 100% zoom, small details are “eaten up”. One of the advantages of the camera is the function of shooting video in slow motion, while the image quality is reduced to HD and the sound is turned off. In return, it becomes possible to see the grace of movement that is inaccessible to the human eye under normal conditions. The flash operates in four modes:

    • filling;
    • automatic;
    • eliminating the “red eye” effect;
    • flashlight.
    Photos are taken with a resolution of 5057x3796 pixels, video - 3840x2160 pixels.

    For selfies and video calls, Skype has a widescreen 13 MP camera. The sensitivity of the module is enough to take photographs with a resolution of 4160x3120 pixels and create videos in FullHD quality. The secondary camera is equipped with a number of functions, including a filter that smooths out wrinkles on the skin, a smile detection option and a self-timer mode that responds to gestures.

    The model is equipped with stereo speakers that provide loud and rich sound. As befits the flagship of the XPERIA line, the smartphone uses S-Force Front Surround technology, providing three-dimensional virtual sound. The presence of the ANO function allows you to determine the type of connected headset and automatically set the necessary sound settings. Many users consider the lack of an FM tuner to be a disadvantage. Built-in video and audio players support AAC, MP3, MP4, MPEG and many other file formats.

    Communication Sony Xperia XZ Premium


    The connection is carried out in all existing standards from 2G to 4G. Thanks to the use of Bluetooth technology, it is possible to exchange information wirelessly between compatible devices at a distance of up to 10 meters. A Wi-Fi module is provided for Internet access. Terrain orientation and location determination are carried out by satellite navigation adapters:
    • A-GPS;
    • BriDou;
    • Glonass.
    To pair with a computer and connect charger, there is a USB type C port. Headphones are connected via a 5-pin 3.5 mm connector. In addition, there is an accelerometer that measures the orientation of the image in space, proximity and light sensors.

    Sony Xperia XZ Premium battery review


    A lithium-polymer non-removable battery with a capacity of 3230 mAh is responsible for offline operation. Its charge will last for 1–2 days of talk time or 6 hours of video viewing. good quality. Charging is possible both from AC power and from a computer via a USB connector. A full battery recovery cycle lasts no more than 2 hours. Availability of function fast charging QuickCharge 3.0 significantly reduces this period.

    To increase duration battery life The manufacturer has provided a special economical STAMINA mode, which reduces the performance of the gadget and reduces the speed of information transfer in the background. The Qnovo Adapting Charging technology used significantly increases battery life.

    Sony Xperia XZ Premium: price and release date


    The device was presented at the MWC 2017 exhibition in early spring. The start of sales was scheduled for the end of May. On Russian market the new product appeared only in June. Despite the high price, SonyXperia XZ Premium quickly won the hearts of users.

    Having become familiar with technical characteristics and the functionality of the gadget, one can highlight the positive and negative aspects of the model. The advantages definitely include modern powerful processor new generation, sensitive fingerprint scanner, high degree of protection, allowing you to safely use your smartphone on the beach or in the shower, as well as a unique screen resolution. Considering that the model is positioned as the flagship of the XPERIA series, there are a number of shortcomings that spoil the overall impression of the gadget:

    • despite the use of a new generation camera, the quality of shooting leaves much to be desired;
    • the price of the Sony Xperia XZ Premium smartphone, although it meets the specifications, is too high;
    • for a device of this class, the battery used has a low capacity;
    • soiling of the case;
    • heating of the device during prolonged use of energy-intensive applications;
    • no QuickCharge included in the package.
    The price of SonyXperia XZ Premium in Russia is 54,990 rubles. Video review is presented below:

    Although Sony's Xperia XZ Premium ticks almost every box on the high-end smartphone test, and also offers users Android 7.1 combined with excellent performance, it still doesn't make the cut. -5” of our respective rating. In particular, the quality of photos taken in low light leaves much to be desired. And also because Sony, even in its flagship smartphone, refuses to have a fast charger, the ratings in the “Battery” test category are lower than those of its direct competitors.

    Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a mirror

    For several years now, Sony has not fundamentally changed anything in the design of its smartphones, and this time it continues to rely on the minimalistic look that we know from the Xperia series devices. In principle, it all looks good and elegant, but in the case of the Xperia XZ Premium it already reaches its limits.

    Firstly, the phone turns out to be very large, since the screen is surrounded on all sides by clearly defined frames. In addition, at the bottom, Sony has placed an additional black strip with soft control buttons, which also takes up a certain space.

    On the other hand, the silver/chrome body of the device we tested reflects everything like a mirror. Within a short time, both the front and back surfaces became covered with numerous fingerprints and greasy stains. Of course, they can be rubbed off on clothes, but they definitely won’t be recognized as beautiful. But now there are no problems taking selfies with the main camera. The edges here are also glossy, rounded and very smooth, which makes the device weighing 190 grams easier to slip out of your fingers during a telephone conversation.

    Mirror surface: Xperia XZ Premium allows you to take selfies with the main camera

    Brilliant 4K display

    In terms of equipment, Sony is rolling out several heavy artillery pieces to the position at once. These include an extremely clear 4K display with a 5.5-inch diagonal. Xperia XZ Premium in UHD resolution provides not only photos and videos, but also displays user interface.

    However, in everyday life, a picture with a pixel density of 800 ppi hardly provides any advantages compared to 400 ppi. Even if we bring the smartphone very close to our eyes, we most likely will not be able to notice the difference in clarity. However, VR (virtual reality) fans will be able to get some benefit from this.

    Like competitors LG and Samsung, Sony advertises support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology. The screen boasts a truly wide color gamut and excellent image quality, but it doesn't shine as brightly as a Full HD display does. The latter reaches a remarkable 582 cd/m2, but Sony can only offer XZ Premium users 485 cd/m2. However, in most cases the content reads quite well.


    The display displays content in 4K resolution - but it's almost impossible to understand

    Battery: Sony is saving on the wrong things

    Of course, UHD resolution on a large display took its toll during our online testing. Here, the Xperia XZ Premium managed to last a good eight and a half hours, but it's still a long way from the almost ten hours of the cheaper Xperia XZs.

    The device missed a certain number of rating points, not least because of the duration of the charging process, which lasts more than three hours. And although the XZ Premium itself supports Quickcharge 3.0 fast charging technology, Sony decided to save a little money and included a regular power supply with a power of only 7.5 W in the package.


    A freshly polished phone looks gorgeous, but its surface quickly becomes covered in fingerprints.

    Xperia XZ Premium camera with its advantages and disadvantages

    Sony paid great attention to the digital camera of its new flagship and equipped it with a high resolution of 19 megapixels, as well as a high-speed video recording function with 960 frames per second. The camera is essentially the same as the one in the Xperia XZs, but showed slightly better results during testing. The reason could most likely be a new version firmware.

    The photo quality here can be considered good for the most part, however, in comparison with such direct competitors as above all, the Xperia XZ Premium still reveals certain shortcomings. Pictures taken in low light do not correspond to the high-end level of the device. This is clearly shown by comparing photographs taken by the smartphone we tested and the HTC U11.

    However, even in daylight, the Sony camera does not reach the level of competitors that cost about the same. Contours are often noticeably indistinct and surfaces blurred. Most likely the problem is that the matrix is ​​too small for the high resolution used.


    Twilight photos: Compared to the HTC U11, photos taken on the Xperia XZ Premium have less detail and more artifacts. Plus they're a little dark.

    High speed video camera

    The camcorder's "High Frame" mode is an interesting feature that makes shooting in daylight a lot of fun. In this mode, the camera shoots video in HD resolution at up to 960 frames per second, so you can then playback the footage very slowly.

    However, because the shutter speed per frame is extremely fast in this mode, indoor results often appear too dark and noisy. The ability to take “pre-emptive” pictures is practical. In this mode, the camera takes photos before you press the shutter button, so you can then choose a better shot - this mode is especially useful when shooting moving subjects.


    The Sony Xperia XZ Premium camera has several good features

    Top performance

    From point of view Xperia performance The XZ Premium is on par with the best models on the market (and in our smartphone rankings). Snapdragon 835 provides a fast user interface, smooth scrolling, pleasant response speed to commands and quick application launch. This “system on a chip” also contains gigabit LTE and Bluetooth 5 modules.

    If 64 GB of internal memory is not enough, you can expand it using microSD cards. Data exchange with a computer will also be pleasantly fast thanks to the presence of USB 3.1 Type-C. Last but not least practical is the protection of the case in accordance with the IP-68 standard, which for users means the ability to drop the smartphone into water without consequences.
    Sony sells the Xperia XZ Premium in chrome and black colors at an initial cost of 54,990 rubles.


    Waterproof: rain or drop into water Sony users Xperia XZ Premium has no fear

    Alternative: Sony Xperia XZ

    Cheaper, not as well equipped, but with a longer battery life: Sony fans can't go wrong by choosing. At the same time, the smartphone, which has been on sale since last fall, costs about 13,000 rubles less. In some online stores you can find it even cheaper than 40,000 rubles.
