Sony has taken the wraps off a new version of its flagship Android smartphone, the Xperia ZR.
The new phone is LTE enabled and features a smaller 4.6-inch screen and enhanced waterproofing.
That improved waterproofing means it is possible to use the phone at depths of up to 1.5 meters.
Combined with the same 13-megapixel sensor in its big brother the Sony Xperia Z means taking high definition underwater movies is now possible without having spend a huge amount of money on specialist equipment.
The Xperia ZR is aimed that the mid-range market. It has a 1.5Ghz S4 Pro quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM meaning it still packs a solid punch. It wills ship with Android 4.1.
According to Sony, the ZR will launch in key markets later this quarter. However, it has not yet revealed the price of the phone.
Sony's Xperia Z smartphone came 33rd in T3's 2013 Hot 100.
We said: "With a 5-inch, 1080p screen, Sony’s new Bravia Engine 2, and a waterproof chassis, this Android-running Sony Xperia Z is one of the finest smarties of recent years. It’s slim too, at just 7.9mm, and can survive a half-hour dunk in the drink.
"On imaging duties, there’s a 13-megapixel snapper (capable of 1080p vids), and a 2-megapixel front-facer (that records in 720p), along with burst mode that shoots ten frames a second. 4G and NFC are on-board too, making this a true mobile powerhouse."
