 By the way, you may also find out if the water resistant feature on high-end smartphones were first introduced by Sony Xperia Z released last year. When Samsung comes with similar features through the Galaxy S5, Sony probably will feel the uniqueness it offers Xperia Z is slightly reduced. Is the Samsung Galaxy S5 will win the competition in this class?

Nookala Ravi, president of Sony Mobile Communications USA, said Sony is not worried about the waterproof feature on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Even the executives quickly mention that Sony is starting a trend of high-end waterproof smartphones in the world. That is just a copycat Samsung, and Sony as the pioneers would have perfected the waterproof technology on the Sony Xperia Z2.

Is waterproof feature is so important for a smartphone?

Looks like we do not need to intentionally make our smartphones "dive" in the waters of Raja Ampat or Tahiti? However, bringing the Samsung Galaxy S5 or Sony Xperia Z2 for a vacation to Tahiti or adventure in Bali is the right choice, because both the smartphone is capable of producing good pictures for your holiday, although the photo quality can always be compared technically. You definitely know the Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone which is known as a very reliable for photography.

We can only look forward to who will be the winner in both the smartphone competition, and we can compare the Samsung Galaxy S5 or Sony Xperia Z2 with Oppo Find 7, or we compete with the latest iPhone.
