The editors liked
Great design
Clear screen
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 editors didn't like
Low res display
No PS4 Remote Play
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
Battery could use more juice
Cameras
8 GB version only offers 1.25 GB for files
No hook for a wrist strap (unlike the Z3 and Z3 Compact)
Rubbish camera
Made of plastic rather than glass/metal
Average camera
Display not brilliant
Speaker not amazing
Max 8GB internal memory (is actually less than 4GB)

Abstract: Sony has an interesting problem on its hands. For one thing, most companies tend to launch their flagship phones at MWC, but Sony is going for the mid-range with its new M4 Aqua.Some technology pundits assumed there would be a Z4 announced at Mobile World...
Abstract: Sony's flagship range of Xperia Z handsets have been enjoying waterproof skills since the first edition landed, but those waterproof skills have hardly trickled down to Sony's lower and mid-range handsets. Still, while a cheaper phone might be easier to r...
Is the Xperia M4 Aqua worth the extra £20 over the Moto G? Of course it is. The simple fact it looks and, to a much greater degree than the Moto G, performs like a flagship makes that an easy question to answer. If the Moto G were available for £150, t...
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...
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 off...

Rubbish camera, Made of plastic rather than glass/metal
It's a fair choice if you're not buying SIM-free Some phone sins are harder to forgive than others. And while the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is guilty of only a few, they are pretty annoying ones. It's fairly long-lasting, won't destroy your bank balance, and...
The camera may be slightly flawed, but there's still plenty to like about the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua. Its fast processing performance easily outstrips the Samsung Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5, and the coral variation has a much more appealing design than either S...

The Xperia M4 Aqua is no flagship killer, but it does everything you ask of it (and then some), all on a bright, high-quality screen. Most importantly, it has value-for-money that few big brands like Sony have been able to offer so far. At this game, it's...

Slim and light, decent processor, waterproof and dust resistant, good battery life, 4G
Distinctive styling won't be for everyone, poor internal storage, middling camera
The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is a solid mid-range, 4G-equipped phone that has certain benefits for outdoorsy and clumsy types, even if it's perhaps not quite as waterproof as its name implies. There's a decent processor on board but while the distinctive styl...

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...
