    Nexus 4 on the outside, Moto G on the inside and the price in Apple style.

    So... NExus 4 and Moto G got an baby, and they gave it an Apple price.

    No thx, in 2012 the Nexus 4 was way better than this and still CHEAPER.

                                That's $420 heavy drop on the foot right there. M4 Aqua goes for about 29700 yen ($245) and $295 for EU. This is a mistake that shouldn't be happening....

                                    It's more of a "aspirational" consumer brand (with some appealing models for the tastes of a few in the higher staff) than a real business brand.

                                      The design kind of reminisces the old Nexus 4.
                                      Poor use of the brand Vaio, it would fit perfectly in a WP.

                                      There's nothing exciting about this phone, everything in this Vaio phone has already been done better by some other Android. Adding insult to injury, you won't be hard pressed to find a more competent alternative with a lower price tag.

                                      I just hate when companies blatantly rely solely on brand name to sell.

                                        Get Alcatel Fierce 2, ad 1GB more of RAM and voila! You'll get a VAIO with $125!
                                        Can't believe this VAIO phone can cost $420!
