The M4 Aqua is very well-made and durable. Build-quality is superb and even though compromises have been made with materials, the phone looks quite premium andresembles the flagship Xperia Z3 from design down to the very dimensions.The display is far from high-end with a resolution of 720 x 1280px. However, the IPS LCD is very bright and offers above-average contrast and sunlight legibility.Battery endurance is superb. At 81 hours the unit will happily get you through two days on a charge. Perhaps even more.The Xperia launcher runs quite nicely on the M4 Aqua and is packed with a lot of interesting features. The phone is definitely not lacking on the software side and it is astounding how well Sony has managed to transition to Lollipop, without compromising the user experience.Performance-wise, the Xperia M4 Aqua is a solid mid-ranger. It runs great and has enough oomph to handle most everyday tasks and then some. The speaker on the Xperia M4 Aqua scored Below Average in out rests. It is really on the quiet side.the camera is not impressive as things stand right now. 13MP might look formidable on paper, but Sony hasn't managed to make much use of the hardware. Quality and detail are poor, photos often come out with a lot of noise and underwhelming sharpness.
