Let's face it, our smartphones are so much a part of our lives that our palms are beginning to develop phone-shaped calluses in the same way that pen use once led to knobbly fingers.
Therefore the thought of leaving them behind, or even simply in the hotel safe, during the summer break is impossible to consider. However, until now, seawater and sand have not exactly been the best environments for smartphones.
Sony Xperia ZRThis is by no means the only water- and dust-resistant Sony smartphone currently on sale, but, with a comparatively small 4.6-inch full HD display and a dedicated camera button, it is the easiest to use, especially with wet or slippery sunscreen-coated hands. As well as being a very capable Android handset with a great processor and full 4GLTE superfast mobile broadband compatibility, the ZR boasts some very serious camera kit -- full HD videos and 13-megapixel stills -- what's more it has a number of settings for underwater photography.Although it's not advisable to take it on a scuba dive, the ZR can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters without any ill effects. The screen uses the same technology found in Sony's TVs which means it's easy to view even in direct sunlight, while its stamina technology shuts down apps automatically when not in active use to increase battery life.
