absolutely loved this phone until I got soaked in the rain with my phone in my pocket, the phone got soaked but I dried it off and thought it would be fine because it is meant to be waterproof up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, 3 hours later the phone started to go nuts and now the screen is off and I cant get it to work, this phone is not at all waterproof

Jo, 22 Jun 2016very low internal, very bad camera, waterproof is good, min... moreThis is a low end & cheap phone. What do you expect.
You just get one for a cheap price to expect the very best features.
Then go and get the most excellent Song phone which is the Z series.
After getting the Z series, you will love it. Sony is a good brand.
I do not prefer as i am getting used to Samsung, Xiaomi, and any cheap phone to throw around and play games.

Awesome phone, lightning fast, display is exceptional, camera great outdoors and low light.
It does heat, but its like really thin case, but with a basic silicon mask its barely worth mentioning. Cant understand why everybody bitches about this phone. For this money, you cant go wrong with the M4 aqua.

Webby, 15 Jun 2016This is the worst phone I have had yet and I have only had ... moreYou can go to Apps in settings and disable the ones you don't use. It could save some space. Personally I don't use Google services, so I disabled all Google apps. I have some apps, and 1 GB-internal left for now.
My device doesn't have heat problem. Perhaps it's rare, and Sony will repair it for you.
It takes about 2-2.5 hours to fully charge from 15%. I use the stock charger. It seems you can charge the device with some other manufacturers' chargers, or via a USB cable connected to your laptop. I don't know much about hardware, but I think using the stock charger is fastest and safest.
You don't have to manually clean up RAM. You don't need third party apps to clean up RAM either. The operating system will do that for you (I'm an Android programmer, I think that's correct). And from my views, you don't need any anti-virus apps. You shouldn't root your device, so third party apps cannot harm your data. (This might not be perfect, because there would be any security bugs.)
My country doesn't have policies about carriers locking contracts. We buy phones at full prices. Sony doesn't put any weird/crap apps into their devices. I don't know in case of carriers with contracts, such as in the U.S.
It's a good mid range phone for me. My last one was Xperia M2. I don't have much money, so this is my second phone from Sony. I have to say, Sony is doing a great job. I'm quite sure my next one would be another Sony Xperia. I think their products are worth my hard-earn money.
Have a nice day :-)

I've had loads different phones over the years. Nokia. LG. Motorola. Samsung etc. This is by far the worst. I'll just have to cut my losses & exchange it.

It was my first smartphone and i only can say that it is an epic shit if i compare it with desktop its like using a pentium 4. What i hate most is it speed of process. It is really annoying.

I have had one as part of a contract upgrade for around four months. My main issue is the charge connection which is intermittent and has no almost packed up. A previous Sony model had the same problem. The phone is due to be sent back for repair, which is extremely inconvenient. It also gets very hot and hasn't much storage, otherwise it is okay. I would recommend purchasing one outright.

This is the worst phone I have had yet and I have only had it for a couple of weeks and I extremely regret it. I had read many reviews saying that for a mid range phone it was really good and I can completely disagree with all of those reviews. The first thing they don't tell you about is the actual amount of space on the phone. Every website I looked at before making the purchase claimed the internal storage is 8GB. Wrong in actual fact after the phone has been set up you only have about 1.5GB of space left. I inserted a 64GB SD Card but this barley helped me as very few of the apps can be moved over to the SD. You can stop updates of apps already installed but it won't help you much as you can't fully delete very many of the initial apps.
Another problem I am noticing is that even if you sit for 5 minutes going through your emails the phone gets extremely hot that you don't want to be holding it, especially if you are on the phone and having it up to your ear for any length of time.
Furthermore charge wears down very quickly my last phone would last hours of playing music with very little battery loss and the M4 Aqua will last maybe 5 hours but the battery will be pretty drained. It also takes a long time to charge the phone I estimate about 6-8 hours charging to get back to full battery. This is not good if you need to be contactable for the majority of the day.
I have to keep constantly clearing RAM and cache to try and keep a little bit of space on the phone.
Also the camera although it claims to be 13MP it is very poor the camera is exceptionally slow at both taking photos and also turning on. Even the slightest movement will give you a blurry photo.
If you are looking for a new phone please stay away from the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua it has been very misleading as a good mid range phone.

This is a very sensible phone for the price with contract but doesn't have a removable battery like some of the LG phones. With all the crazy stuff & people in the world you almost need a phone with camera and or audio at all times. A phone with a removable battery means a ton if your life is more than just about talking and texting.
