Even though the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is not the most impressive Android device on the market, it’s still an interesting offer from Sony, and it’s been enjoying quite a lot of attention from critics and tech geeks online. So far, most of the reviews are leaning towards the positive side, and the overall verdict seems to be that it’s a very solid offer for a mid-range device. In fact, some critics have noted that the phone is actually capable of more than many other devices in the same class, making it a very good deal for its money.
The new Xperia M4 Aqua packs many features, and has pretty much everything that a buyer might look for in a flagship phone, according to most reviewers. The display has been noted as quite good, the battery is reported to last up to two full days on a full charge, and it also has a good camera to go with everything else as well. Last but not least, the phone is fully waterproof, a trend that has been becoming more and more popular lately.
Its form factor is something to be noted as well, as Sony have achieved a very slim and attractive device, one that can easily beat even some of the best flagships in terms of size and weight, even though it packs specifications that aren’t that far below other phones. And for a price of just 279 Euros, Sony have definitely made a great offer that will be talked about for some time.
What does the device offer beneath the shiny screen though? With a Snapdragon 615 quad-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and a dedicated GPU, it should be able to handle most applications on the Android market with absolutely no issues; and the expandable memory slot makes it a great device for media lovers, both those who like to take lots of pictures as well as buyers who listen to a lot of music on their phones.
It’s interesting to note that the battery is just 2,400 mAh, even though it’s claimed to last two days. This capacity is not that big for a modern smartphone, especially one with a 5 inch display, so it would be interesting to see if the battery life actually lives up to the claims made about it in reality. Some reviewers have actually confirmed the 2-day claim so far though, so it definitely does seem like the device can use its battery charge very efficiently. Is this going to be the new most popular offer in the mid-range market? It has all the potential to become that right now.
