In compliance with IP55 and IP57, Xperia™ V is protected against the ingress of dust and is water resistant. Provided that all ports and covers are firmly closed, the phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in compliance with IP 55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1 metre of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP 57. The phone is not designed to float or work submerged underwater outside the IP55 or IP57 classification range and should not be exposed to any liquid chemicals. If liquid detection is triggered on the handset or battery, your warranty will be void."
Sony never stated if this phone is waterproof.
Another point to consider is how can the microphone receive our voice if no intrusion is allowed through the housing. However I'm sure if the mainboard is truly waterproof as it is protected from water intrusion.

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2012Water resistant, not waterproof. 1 meter under water for 30 minutes, i call it water proof. On an expo it was constantly showered for several days in a row on the sony stand.
Water resistant or splash resistant is for example Razr i and Xperia Tablet S.

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2012Water resistant, not waterproof. See the last line of "Body", It's clearly written "Water proof up to 1 meter and 30 minutes".

The phone battery is only 1750 it is too small and theback cover of this phone is openabl( can open) is this truly water? Proof or it is likte motorola xt that say water resistant but water goes inside when drop in the water. Go for acro s instead.

So far all phones with Sonys new 13mp sensor has failed in ... moreXperia acro S is the same as Xperia V
The difference is mainly speed. Xperia V has faster CPU, Bluetooth V4 instead of V3, almost 3 times faster download speed, support 4G not just 3G. XV also has "Sensor on Lens" screen that provides better display and helps to reduce XV weight to 120g compared to 147g of Acro S. All that would give user a more pleasent experience. But XV would cost $150-$200 more than current Acro S price. Yes, it is hard to decide between the 2. Just depends if I have enough money when the V is released :)

So Sony Xperia V is better than arco S.
As far as I know the V not release now.

Pete, 24 Oct 2012If I were u, I'd wait for xperia V..it has a newer & better CPU & GPU, better camera, ... moreAcro S will get JB, no problem.
So far all phones with Sonys new 13mp sensor has failed in photo quality (LG Optimus G, Xperia T, TX), im 98% sure Xperia V will fail also, so Acro S will still be the best for still photo. However Acro S has a little stuttering full HD video recording sometimes, the faster CPU of Xperia V should be better.
However the Xperia V photo quality may be acceptable even if it cannot beat the Acro S.
