Waterproof
One of the very few phones that will stand the test of water, the Xperia ZR can be used for filming HD video underwater without loss in sharpness or clarity which makes it the perfect smartphone for those pool parties and diving expeditions that you love.
Dust-resistant
With a high dust-resistance rating, the ZR can be taken along with you on the great outdoor adventure that you want to take off on with no worries about any scratches or dust damage to the device.
Durable Tempered Glass Screen
The glass screen is tempered to ensure durability – the Xperia ZR is a lot more resistant than regular phones. The front also comes with anti-shatter film making it very resilient.
HD Reality Display
The 4.6 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display of the Xperia ZR has High Definition resolution and a color depth of 16 M that allows you to experience every image like you are within. The Reality display ensures that you have the close to real life experience, regardless of what you watch.
The intelligent screen automatically optimizes images to give you the best contrast, brightness, sharpness and color and with the OptiContrast panel, the phone looks seamless.
True Screen Intelligence
The screen is designed to adapt to the content on it as intuitively as possible. Contrast is adjusted by making the darkest parts darker to bring out detail, color saturation is stepped up, distortion and noise are toned down and sharpness is increased with a filter to increasing the overall detailing in the image. All in all, what you see on the screen is a better, crisper version of reality.
13 MP Camera with Exmor RS
Bringing together all of Sony’s expertise with cameras, the phone comes with a powerful 13 megapixel camera with LED flash that has full HD video recording support as well. The Exmor RS technology for mobile sensors exclusive to Sony optimizes low light conditions and applies HDR to each photo so that you get a brilliant click every single time you press the dedicated camera key. It comes with a 0.3 megapixel front camera for your selfies as well.
This smartphone is dust resistant and waterproof with an impressive IP55/IP58 rating. In compliance with IP55 and IP58, the Xperia ZR is protected against the ingress of dust and is waterproof. Provided that all ports and covers are firmly closed, the phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in compliance with IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1.5 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP58. The phone is not designed to float or work submerged underwater outside the IP55 or IP58 classification range. This may void your warranty.
Click images for 30 minutes at a stretch underwater as you take long laps in the pool. You may take it as deep as 1.5 meters, just be careful about keeping all the micro USB ports and other openings must be shut.
The IP rating has test certification that measures a device's level of resistance to dust and water. IP 55/58 -- the first digit of the two-digit IP rating measures the level of protection against solid objects (such as dust particles), while the second digit shows the level of water resistance.
Crisp and clear display always enriches the user experience.
The smartphone comes with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 - the second generation image engine, which adds real-time contrast and sharpness to the images, along with high-quality color management and noise reduction. It also analyses other content and adjusts the image quality accordingly. 1. Color Enhancement 2. Color Management 3. Noise Reduction 4. Sharpness Filter

Good phone but ZL is available for same price!
Right now, ZL is available for the same price!
ZL has a better screen(full HD) and 16 GB internal storage which is quite important.
ZL also has better dev support if you are into custom ROMs.
If these things are more important to you than ZR's water resistance, better battery back up, removable battery and better compact form(easier to use because of its s...

The Hero From Sony
Is that Exactly Water Proof ?
Not Exactly, Sony says its a Water Proof phone, but the parts are not Water Proof..it has openable back, and removable battery.
they mean to say the water doesnot go in to mobile parts if u close all the doors (Audio jack input, Charging pin input)..any way its very good than other mobiles which becomes dead for a spoon of water
What about Display ?
Looks great . Nice Menu options by Default, ...
