Teardowns are nothing new. For most it can be boring, but for those that need to repair their phone, they are a godsend. The Xperia Z3 is a little different since it's fully waterproof with a rating of IP65/IP68. You may not ever own the phone or ever need to repair it, but you might find this teardown interesting since it reveals the care and workmanship from Sony in designing this beautiful hardware. The fact that they could keep the phone so thin yet make it waterproof is mind boggling.

The image above shows the use of foam rubber edges to keep the guts water resistant. Here is a closer shot.

Further along you will see a heat cooling pipe that certainly will help since everything is packed into such a tight space.
