I have my Xperia V, immediately after it was finally available, ordered directly from Sony. In particular, the water resistance had attracted me. On the general advantages and disadvantages of this smartphone I need here no longer respond, but now after about 6 months, unfortunately, revealed two glaring flaws to which I would like to point. First, the battery power has been so greatly diminished that the equipment really needs to be charged at least once a day, despite normal use, much worse, however, is a defect that has occurred at the Deckelchen for the charging slot. This is fitted with a rubber connection on the housing and already so worn out that the Deckelchen no longer be closed properly, which in turn means that the device is no longer waterproof. The Sony Customer closes despite the short period of use warranty service for this expensive equipment, I have paid 499.00, and the workshop sends me for that minor damage an alternative loose estimate, believe it or 247.00! I'll just use the device now so on, but the subject waterproof Xperia has done so, very annoying and a very weak performance from Sony service!
