New Xperia Z4v Coming This Summer

Sony has a new smartphone coming this summer.

The new Xperia Z4v borrows camera and sound technology from Sony’s other products, and it offers integration with Sony’s PlayStation game console, including game play on the phone when away from the monitor.

The new phone also sets itself apart from competitors in offering waterproof capabilities. Unlike past Xperia phones, there’s no need to keep the USB port covered to get the protection. Samsung had water-resistance features in last year’s Galaxy S5, but dropped that in more-recent models.

Sony isn’t providing a price or a release date yet, but it says the phone will be available only through Verizon Wireless, the nation’s largest wireless carrier.
