A creative team for European mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse filmed an interesting unboxing video of the Sony Xperia Z3. The video was uniquely filmed underwater. The Sony Xperia Z3 flaunts the IP65/68 rating glass. This glass is instrumental in keeping the device dust and waterproof. With the rating of the IP65 the Xperia Z3 can be continuously submerged in water for up to 1.5 meters. The uniqueness of this smartphone is that pictures can be taken when the smartphone is inside the water for up to thirty minutes. This phone would be an absolute delight for people interested in water sports.

In this interesting video a person wearing submersible head gear unboxes the phone underwater. The submersible head gear allows him to speak during the unboxing as well as breathe normally. He unboxes the smartphone while its packaging and the instruction papers within the box float as he pushes them away. He takes out the accessories of the Xperia Z3 that include the charger, earphone and cable and places them on a table that is underwater.

His team members join him to demonstrate to the viewers the functioning and quality of the video and photos taken by the smartphone. He switches the smartphone on, successfully and takes a short video of his team mates, takes pictures of his friends including an underwater selfie. The selfie looks highly sharper and clearer than the video itself. This video was posted and shared on social networking sites. According to digitaltrends earlier this month the unboxing of the iPhone 6 was done underwater by Blue Man Group.
