good, bright IPS HD display, case IP68 certified (waterproof and dust-resistant), clean build quality, wide angle front camera, LTE Cat. 4, Bluetooth 4.1, Android 5.0 Lollipop, fast SoC and a lot of RAM, storage expansion up to 128 GB, decent battery...

tiny internal storage, high temperature development, low contrast & black value too high, a lot of bloat ware, integrated battery, long charging time, plastic susceptible to scratches, camera performance in low-light situations

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is a compact mainstream smartphone with many good features. We liked the bright IPS display with the HD resolution as well as the color presentation and the good system performance. Other positive aspects are the voice quality...

Good looking display ; Good performance for daily tasks ; Great, stylish design ; Water-resistance is a nice extra ; Good call quality

8GB of internal storage is not enough (but there’s a microSD card slot) ; Camera is slow to focus and images turn out mediocre ; Video recording quality is bad ; Slow re-charge times

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua features one of our favorite designs for an affordable phone: it’s slim and stylish, and while it’s all plastic, it has the looks and feel of a more expensive gadget. This, however, would not mean much if the phone could not...

: It’s waterproof and its battery lasts for more than a day, but two great features can’t quite make up for its shortcomings. With the Sony Xperia M5 about to launch, and the likes of the Samsung Galaxy A5 bearing down on it, I can’t give a good enough...

Well-built case that is also stylish ; Water-resistant and dust proof ; Mostly excellent screen ; Decent performance

Doesn’t ship with the latest version of Android Lollipop ; Camera could be better ; Poor stock keyboard

With the exception of the M4’s screen, Sony has created a phone that is, by all accounts, an excellent entry into the mid-range market. As with any device in this price range, there are compromises. But, for the most part, the company has packed in...

Good Screen and Sunlight Legibility; Good Music Quality; Good Build Quality; Waterproof; Good Performance

Feeble Loudspeaker (During Calls); Noisy Camera Performance at Night; No USB OTG Support

The XPERIA M4 Aqua Dual is quite a good phone for its price. It was launched at Rs 24,990 but can be found on the internet for around Rs 23,000. It does have a few drawbacks, the most obvious one being lack of USB OTG support and another being the weak...

Darn. Things started out so well between us and the M4 Aqua. It just looks so nice. We were really rooting for it. We knew that for the price there would have to be compromises. Most of these are expected and are acceptable - a lower resolution screen...

Good display ; Capable camera ; Good software experience ; Resistance to dust and water

Inconsistent design ; Overheating issues ; Average battery life ; Overpriced

Attractive build ; Waterproof ; Competent camera

Only 8GB storage ; Inconsistent battery life ; Slippery rear

Great waterproof design ; Clear screen ; Very good battery life

Poor performance in some areas ; Only 8GB internal memory ; Some features missing

A decent little phone that lives in the murky mid-range waters - but looks a lot like a flagship.

Lovely design, good performance, great battery life, familiar software experience, microSD support, waterproof

Average camera, display not brilliant, speaker not amazing, max 8GB internal memory (is actually less than 4GB)

We love the look of the M4 Aqua and how, despite being predominantly plastic, it offers much the same design as Sony's flagship Xperia devices. It's a charming smartphone, especially in the coral colour as reviewed here, which almost tricks you into...
