Xperia Z2 miraculously lives after spending 6 weeks submerged in over 32 feet of ocean water.
Sony Xperia Z2 that has IP58 certified waterproofing remained in working condition even after being submerged in salt water for more than 6 weeks.
Sony says its Xperia Z2, which was launched at the CES 2013, “can be kept under 1.5 m of fresh water for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP58“. But, the phone survived for longer period of time in one case. According to reports, Alexander Maxén from Gothenburg who was on holiday with a friend, left his phone on the boat while water-skiing.
When he jumped in the water, the phone also bounced into the water. He was unable to retrieve the phone as the sea bed was more than 10 meters deep. Once they were back on land, Alexander called the phone, which continued to ring. Six weeks later, Alexander friend went scuba diving and retrieved the Xperia Z2. Although the back glass was shattered and the battery discharged, the LED indicator did light up when the phone was plugged in. Miraculously once it was recharged, the phone started working perfectly.
