Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review: The lookalike

12 May 2015
The Xperia M4 Aqua is Sony’s take on what a mid-ranger should look like. And for the first time in a while a mid-ranger has got us excited. It has all the right specs coupled with a thin profile and premium looks, all bundled up into a €299 phone...

It's Amazing. Buy it.I'm using it since two months, and I don't have any complaints. Only,one problem is there,tha it gets heated when you use it for more than a hour, (near the camera only)...

          With my first month of using it I have to say for a mid range phone it definitely does pretty well. To my needs at least. Decent battery life. Decent camera. The front camera does okay. Memory might be a problem but there's always an SD card slot to remedy that. No complaints from me thus far. This phone is also getting Marshmallow soon. If you want a better performing phone then what are you guys doing here? Go check out the One Plus phones then. I picked Sony because I prefer the interface over oxygen. This is a mid range device so do keep in mind.

                  OK after reading all these negative comments on the m4 I decided to go ahead and buy one to see for myself. I went from iPhone 4,5,5s to xiaomi 3 to z2 to honor 6 to z3 and now this. No way can I go back to Apple now. Android is just way too much fun. OK so on to the phone, mine is the 16gb version and I bought it for 216 bucks. I've been downloading and updating all the apps to how I like it while playing with the other functions just to see how it compares to the more powerful z2 and z3. It's about the same size as the z3 but feels much lighter. In three hours of hard use the battery dropped 45% which I think is very reasonable and I really didn't experience the heating issue that plagued the other users here. It got warm but my z2 gets way hotter if I was doing the same thing. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe this is from a new batch that has been fixed. It's running the latest update. Yes it's not as smooth as the z2 or 3 but it's a third of the asking price. I'm very happy with this purchase but I think I'll stick with the z3 since it's way snappier and I prefer the haptic feedback (the m4 is more like the z2 in this regard). Just thought I put this positive feedback out there to let people know not all the m4 out there are horrible. Plus the shop reassured me if it does get hot then I can get a full refund within two weeks no questions asked.

                                  My wife bought this phone for herself a while ago. Her old phone had a bad battery life, didn't even make it through a normal day without extra charging. This phone has much better battery life even without any saving mode on, it easily lasts for more than a day of active usage. She said it's also pretty fast and WiFi also works better than on her old Huawei did.

                                  The problems are with excessive heating while heavy usage (listening to music + browsing the web + social media nonsense (like FB) going on the same time). The phone got REALLY hot when she asked to touch it if it's normal behavior for a phone. The back (near the camera if I recall correctly as this was a few weeks ago) side was almost burning hot. Camera takes blurred photos and are uncomfortable to view on a big screen. Other than that, it seems to be a good phone as she said. I personally doesn't like how it looks or felt on my hand (sharp edges), but it's not my phone - whatever.

                                      Sony xperia m4 aqua is okay.

                                      -may heat while use mobile data with rams consuming.
                                      -USB charge really slow. Speaker is too not noise but listening sound with headphones too fantastic.
                                      -Screen is very satisfy to perform with sunbright. Very lighten hold and water proof body.

                                      Please unlock this !
