Read MoreSONY's Flagship not quite ship shape or waterproof?
/So I really thought that sonys plans for the Z3+ and especially the Z5 would be water tight. As it seems Sony are now falling on their sword as it were. As one of there major weapons they used to lead with has now become a weakness, and lets be honest about this. If it doesn't work probably shouldn't have mentioned it. Maybe they just weren't paying the guy that designed it enough.
Sony put out this statement on there official website:
‘Remember not to use the device underwater. If you accidentally get the device wet with non-fresh water, wash the device under a faucet.’
The site goes on to explain: ‘Sony devices that are tested for their waterproof abilities are placed gently inside a container filled with tap water and lowered to a depth of 1.5 meters.
‘After 30 minutes in the container, the device is gently taken out and its functions and features are tested.’
Seems there is cause for concern especially with the first sentence. Remember not to use the device underwater. Anyway it seemed a little bit gimmicky to me in the first place...but definitly useful if you accidentally dropped in the toilet by accident while trying to do two things at once.
I reckon they should through the whole underwater thing in the toilet and throw on some solar panels. at least that would be a feature you would use everyday.

/Plenty of rumours are suggesting that Google will release two new smartphones this year - and we might finally have a name for one.
Word on the street is that the next Nexus will be called the Google Nexus 5X. Brought to you by LG, and the bigger handset by Huawei.
We could expect the release date to be around the 29th of September from the Google Play Store. That’s only a few weeks away, suggesting that an offical annoucement from Google will happen very soon. The estimated prices of the Nexus 5X could start at $399 for the base 16g model and $449 for the larger 32g model.
