you wanted the Xperia z4 you've got the Xperia m4 aqua and we'll just leave it at that I'm Anthony nod and you're watching pocket now Sony Xperia m4 aqua hands-on at the 2015 M WCM barceló whether releasing the z4 at this show would have been a good or bad thing it's up to you to decide Sony however considered that it was not time for the flagship so we've got a phone that closely resembles the z3 a mid-range device which according to Sony brings all the cool features of the Z family to the lower-class camera capabilities to day battery life which of course is still a quote and waterproofing on the outside it looks a lot like the z3 Z 2 Z 1 and so on so you can instantly recognize the Sony signature design language some love it some love its large bezels on the top and bottom for us it's a mixed bag between feeling right at home and the need for redecoration this being a mid-range er Sony had to cut some corners both on the outside as well as on the inside despite company officials trying to sell it as a quote no compromise phone there are a couple of notable advancements as well so let's take them one at a time on the inside some more corners have to be cut still the company says the phone sets a new standard for mid Rangers and that too is ok this is Sony's first octa-core 64-bit smartphone running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor clocked at 1.5 gigahertz the SOC is being helped by two gigs of RAM which is plenty for a mid-range er internal storage is capped at 8 or 16 gigs depending on which region and model you get both of which are expandable via microSD card with additional 32 gigs the screen is a 5-inch panel with HD resolution of 720 by 1280 and the camera on the back is a 13 megapixel shooter powered by Sony's own Exmor RS chip with an aperture of f28 oh and ISO ratings of 3200 the front phaser allows you to snap 5 megapixel selfies and Android 5.0 lollipop ensures you're up to date something which xiii owners are still waiting for the 2400 milliamp hour battery should be enough for two days according to Sony but will of course have to wait and see for ourselves once we get this baby in our labs the other feature inherited from the flagship is the waterproof build the Xperia m4 aqua is rated ip65 and ip68 for water and dust resistance so you can be as active as you want while using it we of course had to test this out and we also had to play around with lollipop coming out of the box on the m4 aqua together with Sony's own custom user interface it was as snappy as ever with the signature apps like Walkman and album as beautiful and fluid as ever sadly the unit had no internet connection and we couldn't check out the PlayStation app but that and more in-depth testing will have to wait until our full review which we're hoping to get to use shortly on PocketNow until then please give us a thumbs up if you liked the video and follow us on social media and our main hub at pocketnow.com to never miss a beat abandoned and denied thank you very much for watching and I'll see you in the next video you
