I think what he meant by Sony creating that segment is a flagship product which sold well with the feature in the west in the last few years. For example, no one mentions dell creating the phablet segment with the streak, the note is credited with that.

no Sony hasn't … Motorola predates the XZ or any other Xperia with water resistance with the RAZR line and another that predates that.
However Sony has gained from water resistance experience from Ericsson. I'd like to see more done for complete water proofing … without the need for ugly flaps - more nano molecules sprayed on every component before, during, and after assembly.
Like AWAY said,SONY popularized this,i believe its fair to say without the Z this wouldn't have happened.
Anyway,that said any idea if this S4 would be built better?As far as ive seen SAMSUNGs are pretty fragile...im looking for a water resistant phone and if this is also built better to falls and bumps..i just might be interested

Cheap flaps? What would you prefer, ones one-tenth the value of the phone? Ugly? They actually make the look better, slightly adds to the omnibalance design in making each side look the same. The only problem is the extra second it takes to open, and then the other extra second to close. Even forgetting to close it is near-impossible, the phone gives you a notification.
Interesting how you overlook look more than 99% of the Samsung phone's surface area to praise it, whilst overlooking 100% of the Xperia Z's surface area to criticise it.

Motorola popularized this category not Sony ... RAZR (Android not the flip-phone) and RAZR HD had widespread critical acclaim before Sony XZ debuted and they did so without the need for flaps on the headset, microUSB/HDMI ports as well as best in class battery life and thinner. Both those phones where flagship models and predate the XZ by a few months.
Shino03 thanks for the clarification you are indeed correct.
Dell created the phablet market?? interesting.

I know that no phone is totally waterproof, but an ipx7 rating at least would be fair to give something that (still technically incorrect) term.
The razr line was nowhere near that. Motorola said so themselves. Lol, you had to leave your phone off for an hour if it got wet, it could not be submerged or put under running water and Motorola themselves said it wasn't even water resistant let alone waterproof, they called it water repellant.
How does that change the way you use your phone? Lol, who's going to get it slightly wet if you can't use it for another hour?

AFAIK, RAZR Androids were Splash Resistant or something like that, but the DEFY range were water and dust resistant.
Yep, Dell sort of made the "Phablet" with the 5inch display Streak: http://www.gsmarena.com/dell_streak-3353.php but they never did fully take advantage and capitalise on it, Samsung were smart enough to figure out a way to do it successfully.
