Xperia M4 Aqua Quick Reference Guide
Back at Mobile World Congress in March 2015, Sony set a new
standard introducing the “super mid-range”; Xperia M4 Aqua, a no-
compromise Android smartphone that brings Sony premium
technology and experiences at an accessible price point.
Xperia M4 Aqua is a mid-range device that doesn’t skimp on the
areas that matter most, delivering the most popular and standout
Sony signature features made famous by our leading Xperia Z series; impressive camera capability,
two-day battery life1and waterproofing2.
Just point and shot –great pictures without the effort.
Capture great photographs any time anywhere with Xperia M4 Aqua’s simple ‘point-and-shoot’
capability enabled by its Superior Auto feature. The device’s powerful 13-megapixel camera is
powered by Sony’s latest camera tech (including Sony’s Exmor RS mobile sensor with a large F2.0
aperture, and ISO 3200 sensitivity) and combined with the super intelligent Superior Auto Mode (that
automatically senses up to 52 different scenarios and applies the best settings automatically) allows
users to capture vivid shots at ease - even in low light, strong backlight or in the rain.
DEMO: Try taking a photo of a friend in a low light environment, then one with a strong backlight.
See how Superior Auto Mode ensures you get the best possible shot by automatically adjusting to
the changing situation.
Xperia M4 Aqua’s also has an impressive 5MP front
camera, specifically built for selfies –featuring an 88° field
of view (22mm) meaning nobody is left out of shot.
DEMO: Snap a selfie with a group of friends –see just
how many people you can easily fit into the frame without
compromising quality thanks to the wide-angle lens.
Personalised power management for optimum performance
Xperia M4 Aqua’s high-density 2400mAh battery provides up to two-day battery life, matching the
offering of flagship Xperia Z series devices and eliminating the need for regular charging. Whether it’s
shooting pictures, capturing videos, surfing the web or enjoying entertainment on the move, it’s a
device that allows you to do more while not letting you down when you need it most.

In addition to this, Sony has updated its Battery STAMINA mode allowing users to squeeze even
more juice out of the new battery, with power customisation and maximising the phone’s standby
and active usage time. If you need even more usage time simply switch your device to Ultra
STAMINA mode, which keeps the device running on its core functions for an impressive 7 days.
DEMO: Try loading up the settings app, and going into power management. You can flick STAMINA
mode & Ultra STAMINA mode on and off to see the difference in estimated battery time they can
make.
Do and accomplish more, for longer.
Supporting this balance of performance and power is the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-
core processor bringing flawless advanced multimedia processing and rapid 4G performance, all
running on the latest Android software (5.0 Lollipop) which incorporates a new look home screen,
new notifications and new settings.
Another new feature is Android for Work validation, balancing IT security protocols with the
convenience and simplicity to enjoy a work-life balance life on the move. And, with Xperia M4 Aqua
Dual, you can enjoy one phone with two numbers for separate private and business contacts or insert
a local SIM to avoid high roaming fees while abroad. Our Dual SIM ‘reachability’feature makes it
possible to forward the call from one SIM to another, meaning if one line is
off, you still receive the call on the active line instead of getting a voicemail.

–a 5” tempered glass 720p HD display offering high quality entertainment from any angle, and a
