Sony’s official Xperia 1 VI unboxing video shows off the improvements made to the device

With an IP65/68 rating, the Xperia 1 VI is water resistant and can be submerged to a depth of 1.5 meters (nearly 5 feet) for up to 30 minutes. It also means that the handset can survive getting sprayed by jets.

The Xperia 1 VI is expected to be released as soon as next month

A new speaker module improves the front-facing stereo speaker experience. Even the headset jack has been improved providing 50% greater separation between left and right channels. Other improvements have been made to the gaming capabilities of the phone. New materials are used to manufacture the battery which means that while the capacity of the cell remains at 5000mAh, Sony says that you can get two days of battery life out of one charge. And you can charge the cell to 50%, or one day’s worth of battery life, in just 30 minutes.

The phone will be released sometime next month (which is June according to the calendar) priced approximately at €1399 / £1299.
