Not to be outdone by Nokia and its announcement of the new Lumia 925, Sony also announced the most rugged smartphone they’ve created thus far – the Xperia ZR. The Xperia ZR boasts a camera with a near-identical pixel count as the Z and ZL, but with a slight alteration. On top of the aforementioned features, the Sony Xperia ZR will also run on Android Jellybean on the get go and will be powered by a sizeable 2300mAh battery. Wouldn’t it be nice if Sony’s flagship handset has a non-1080p version with a slightly smaller screen and the same water/dust resistant properties, if not better? Well, it seems that we don’t have to wait too long, because rumor has it that the Japanese firm will be releasing a mid-range handset called Xperia ZR. The speculated handset is the slightly toned down version of the Xperia Z sans the FHD, 5-inch display and glass at the back. The Xperia ZR will instead sport a 4.6-inch HD display and IP58 certification which allows it to be submerged up to a meter and a half for 30 minutes. In terms of configuration, the Xperia ZR doesn’t differ much from its flagship sibling.
