Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Sony's mobile division is often tough to praise, but it does get two things right: consistent design across all price points, and waterproofing.

Attractive build ; Waterproof ; Competent camera

Only 8GB storage ; Inconsistent battery life ; Slippery rear

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review

The mid-range waterproof marvel

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.

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review: Beautifying the mid-range

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is one of the first waterproof smartphones to offer exposed ports, meaning no faffing around removing a flap to reveal the Micro-USB charging port. That, along with its flagship-mimicking design, saw this mid-ranger greeted with...

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...

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review

The mid-range phone you'll confuse with a flagship

The mid-range smartphone market is always tricky, especially with budget devices getting so good. If you are looking for something around this price, the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is a solid choice although the Honor 6 is worth a look for extra features. It...

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review: This phone brings luscious looks but not much else (review)

The sleek style and low price of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua aren't enough to make up for the poor camera and minimal storage space.

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua's slick, minimalist design is very similar to that of the top-end Xperia Z3. Its waterproof body makes it usable in the shower, and its capable processor handles the essentials well.

The camera is truly awful, making it a bad choice for anyone keen on photography. There's a pitiful amount of storage, and Sony's insistence on bundling apps and widgets makes the phone cluttered right out of the box.

The M4 Aqua starts well with its luscious looks and affordable price, but the abysmal camera and storage woes quickly take the shine off an otherwise decent handset.

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review: Hands-on with Sony's mid-range smartphone

It's a shame that we haven't got the new Xperia Z4 flagship smartphone but what Sony has provided at MWC 2015 is a premium mid-range handset. Here's our Sony Xperia M4 Aqua hands-on review. Also see: Best smartphones 2015.

We're waiting for the UK price, but the Xperia M4 Aqua is a tasty looking mid-range smartphone from Sony. It has a premium waterproof design and some decent specs including an octa-core processor and 13 Mp rear camera. Come back soon for a full review.
