14 DAY TRIAL // Sony introduced the Xperia M4 Aqua back in March and promised that the smartphone would go on sale sometime in June. Last month we reported that the smartphone was available for purchase, but only on carrier contracts.
However, beginning this week, Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is available for purchase worldwide through multiple major retailers. The pricing options depend on the region, so there's a chance that you can get the Xperia M4 Aqua cheaper if you live in the right region.
Speaking of which, the smartphone is now available for purchase in the United States via Amazon for $400 (€360 / £260) outright. On the other hand, customers in the UK can grab the Xperia M4 Aqua for £230 (€315 / $350).
European customers can also order the Xperia M4 Aqua for around €280 (£205 / $310) via Amazon Germany. In India, Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual is available for $390 (£255 / €350) off contract.
Obviously, customers will be able to grab the Xperia M4 Aqua for much less if they are willing to sign up for a new 2-year agreement with their favorite carrier.
It doesn't come cheap but features quite decent specs
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is a rugged smartphone that features IP68 certification, which makes it dust and water proof up to 1.5 meter and 30 minutes.
The smartphone ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop right out of the box and sports a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution.
When it comes to hardware, the Xperia M4 Aqua doesn't disappoint. The smartphone is equipped with a 1.5GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot.
Other highlights of the phone include 13-megapixel camera on the back with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as 5-megapixel camera in the front for video calls and selfies.
