Water resistance
Your phone has an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of
67. This means that your phone is dust tight and
is protected against the effects of immersion in
water in depths of between 0 to 100 cm.
The covers for the micro USB port and the
headset connector must be firmly closed in order
for the phone to be water resistant.
More information about IP codes and important
details about your phone’s resistance to water
can be found in your phone User guide, and on
the Sony Mobile support website.
