Top 10 Waterproof Smartphones to Buy in 2014 So Far

| Updated: Friday, January 17, 2014, 16:59 [IST]

Of late, waterproof phones have started to proliferate in the Indian handset market. Although, there are not many options to choose from; still rugged phones are here to stay.

In the Far East countries, Android powered rugged phones are quite common considering players like Sony and Samsung have always given priorities to their respective markets. However, the trend will change in the coming days to come.

Currently, Japanese giant Sony is selling rugged cum waterproof phones in the Indian market.

We would like to see Samsung Galaxy S4 Active in India someday; however, the company seems not interested in bringing the device for the Indian consumers.

Talking about the current scenario, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra is so far the biggest and most expensive waterproof available in India. Priced at upwards of Rs. 43,000, the device is surely an expensive beast, but at the same time stuffed with beefy internal hardware. Other than the 6-inch Xperia Z Ultra, users can opt for Sony's flagship Xperia Z1. The handset features a 5-inch 1080p HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 20.7MP rear-facing camera.

Apart from Sony made handsets, Indian consumers will be excited to know that the Moto G is also a waterproof handset. The mid-range Moto G is expected to hit Indian market later this month.

Here the top waterproof smartphones available in India. Take a look!
