White paper | Xperia™ M4 Aqua
Product overview
The all-terrain smartphone
The Xperia™ M4 Aqua boasts the highest waterproof and dust resistant rating as well as an exceptional
up to 2-day battery life. This compact smartphone also includes a 13 Megapixel camera for taking
photographs on the go and a 5 Megapixel camera for taking selfies.
Great pictures anywhere
The Xperia™ M4 Aqua impresses with an ISO sensitivity setting of 3200 and great performance in low
light conditions. Using the built-in Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor, HDR technology and Superior Auto
mode, photos taken using the Xperia™ M4 Aqua are sharp and vivid even in difficult lighting conditions.
Excellent blur-free video
The Xperia™ M4 Aqua has all you need to make great videos. Capture the action as you go and don’t
worry about keeping the camera still. SteadyShot™ does that for you by compensating for small camera
movements or shaking as you record. Meanwhile, the new Movie Creator app adds the ability to
automatically create highlight reels from the videos and images stored in your album.
Power saving modes
STAMINA mode can maximize Xperia™ M4 Aqua’s standby and active usage time by preventing apps
from running when screen is off and adjusting performance in favor of longer usage time. When the
battery is fully charged, you can even extend battery life to one-week-long by activating Ultra STAMINA
mode keeping only basic phone functionalities.
Move and multi-task
When you’re multi-tasking over Wi-Fi® or a mobile network, the Xperia™ M4 Aqua delivers the speed you
need. Download email with attachments in seconds and enjoy video streaming with no delays or
unwanted buffering. With a Qualcomm MSM8939 Octa-core 1.5 GHz processor and Android 5.0 Lollipop,
you can enjoy seamless multi-tasking and optimal graphics performance.
Water and dust proof
Take great pictures in any weather. The Xperia™ M4 Aqua is waterproof and dust-tight. So whether you
get caught out in the rain, or you're on a sandy beach or a dusty trail, you can still use your device.
* The Xperia™ M4 Aqua is waterproof and protected against dust, so don’t worry if you get caught in the
rain or want to wash off dirt under a tap, but remember: all ports and attached covers should be firml
closed. You should not: put the device completely underwater; or expose it to seawater, salt water,
chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty. The
device has Ingress Protection rating IP65/68. For more info see www.sonymobile.com/waterproof. Note
the Xperia™ M4 Aqua has a capless USB port to connect and charge. The USB port needs to be
