Sony Xperia M4 Aqua
Our Take
CPU benches behind recent entry-level phones like the Samsung Galaxy A04e
A basic entry-level phone with water resistance — but a smaller battery and an HD+ display show its age.
Strength
IP68 water resistance
Watch out
Smaller battery (2400mAh), HD+ display, not Full HD
Skip if
You watch a lot of video or play demanding games
