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.
