At MWC 2015, the Sony Xperia Aqua M4 officially come. And it apparently looks like Sony is working on a sequel to the Sony Xperia M2 Aqua well.

As our previous report, although belongs to the mid-range market but the Aqua M4 has much same design with the top-tier Sony Xperia Z3, especially in the front screen as well as fourth rounded sides. The phone has the price tag of 299 Euro and be available in three colors: White, Black and lovely Pink.

Needless to say, besides some markedly good hardware specs for mid-end smartphone, the most its outstanding spec is waterproof thanks to IP68 certification without USB port cover. In the past, the Aqua range has the resistant water, too, but they really need a real cover to avoid the water enter into the phone. Moreover, the Aqua M4 has dustproof also.

As for specs-wise, the M4 Aqua is really a beast, of course for the mid-range market. The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua equipped with quite a punch. Under the hood we have a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-core processor with integrated 4G LTE connectivity. The display solution is only 1280 x 720 (HD) along with 2GB of RAM and the optimization brought about by Android Lollipop. The HD solution is definitely not save you too much battery capacity. The phone makes me a smooth and comfortable feeling when touching its phone.

More interesting, the phone has the primary camera of 13MP which is promised to be flagship-level quality. Its main shooter utilize Sony’s Exmor RS mobile sensor along with an F2.0 aperture and ISO 3200 sensitivity. Not bad!

In conclusion: The Sony Xperia Aqua M4 has just announced to be priced at 299 Euro, or PHP 14664 for many impressive specs and a beautiful design (even compared to the high-end flagship Sony Xperia Z3 thanks to Omnibalance design philosophy). Do you think that this phone will set up a new standard specs for mid-end devices?
