Water (and fluids in general) is a renowned nemesis of the smartphone. As a rule, once your beloved phone takes a splash or a dunking, that is the beginning of the end of days for it. As such, I can imagine that you must be interested in a water proof smartphone. Your friendly super hero, Super Mo, has drawn up a list of water proof smartphones that are currently available in Nigeria.
Note that while there are water proof mobiles from various manufacturers globally, at the moment, only Sony seems to be officially marketing such devices in Nigeria.

Sony

Sony Xperia V – N46,000
Sony Xperia Z – N66,000
Sony Xperia Z1 – N93,000
Sony Xperia Z Ultra – N99,000
Sony Xperia Tablet Z – N98,000
Below are other manufacturers and their water proof devices that may or may not be seen in this market.

Huawei

Huawei is officially in Nigeria, but I have no information on the availability of the water proof Honor 3 and Ascend D2.

Samsung

Samsung is officially in the country, but the I9295 Galaxy S4 Active isn’t being marketed here, as far as I can tell. The Galaxy S5 is water proof and headed this way though, but won’t be here till April.

LG

Officially servicing the Nigerian market as well, LG has the water proof Optimus GJ E975W, a twin of the E975, but it does not appear to be marketed here.
A water proof smartphone is a great idea and a huge convenience. Whether it is rain or your toddler thinking it is a great idea to wash your phone, you can buy some peace of mind with one of these. All the above listed devices have a minimum IP57 certification. This means that they are resistant to dust that can mess them up and that you can dunk them in water of up to 1 meter deep for a maximum of 30 minutes. Anything beyond that, and you are on your own.
This has to be said: the same way that Nokia has built a niche for itself with smartphone photography, it is pretty much clear that Sony owns the water proof smartphone corner.
