Sony Teases | New Waterproof Smartphone | Coming September 4

Sony has announced a new unnamed smartphone with a titillating video, showing us very little in terms of specifications but revealing the launch date: September 4.

The video, titled "The best of Sony is about to get even better," shows a (presumably) high-end smartphone that can be submerged underwater.

The rumored name for the device is Xperia Z1, and it's said to have a 5-megapixel screen, a Snapdragon 800 processor and a 21-megapixel camera with 4K shooting capabilities, but none of that has been officially confirmed at this point.

For comparison, the also-waterproof Xperia Z Ultra has that same processor, a 6.4-inch screen, but only an 8-megapixel shooter.
