Sony's no stranger to waterproof tech: It's last smartphone and tablet weren't afraid of getting dunked in the tub—making them perfect for the accident-prone or Aquaman.

Not content with just one waterproof phone in the U.S., the company announced Tuesday that its other two liquid-friendly Android phones—the Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra—would also be making their way stateside. The phones have been available internationally for a few months now, but having a few more choices when picking out a smartphone has never been a bad thing.

Sony's Xperia Z Ultra is a big phone.

The Ultra comes with a monstrous 6.4-inch HD display, a quad-core processor, and an 8-megapixel camera. This phablet-sized phone ships with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, but will likely be updated to a more recent version of the OS sometime after its release.

The Z1 has a more reasonably sized 5-inch HD display, but makes up for the difference in size with a 20.7-megapixel camera. The phone will also ship with a quad-core processor and Android 4.2, putting it on par with most of the other Android phones we've seen pushed out lately.
