Announced earlier today, the Sony Xperia M2 Aqua may be mistakenly seen as a typical mid-ranger. And it is, at least for the most part. But one feature of the phone puts it in a league of its own -- its IP68/68 certification.
For those of you who are still confused by IPX/X certificates, let us elaborate. The first digit always indicates the level of protection from dust ingress, while the latter signifies the level of protection from water. The majority of protected devices on the market right now are only resistant to either of the two elements, and not foolproof, but not the M2 Aqua.
For one, it's IP6X certification indicates that it is completely dust tight, and the IPX5/X8 part means that it's not only resistant to water jets (projected by a 6.3 mm nozzle), but also waterproof for "over" 30 minutes when submerged in water (up to 1 meter). According to marketing research firm Strategy Analytics, with which Sony partners for all of its announcements lately, this makes the M2 Aqua the only widely-available device to boast such levels of defenses.
