Short Review

  • The Sony Xperia M2 Aqua features a compact design with dimensions of 140 x 72 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 149 grams, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.8-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 229 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness for high-definition content.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, supported by 1GB of RAM, which handles everyday applications adequately.
  • The rear camera is 8 MP with an f/2.4 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, though it lacks optical image stabilization.
  • Battery life is provided by a 2300 mAh capacity, which may require frequent charging due to moderate usage demands.
  • The device runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, upgradable to 5.1.1 Lollipop, offering a basic software experience without the latest features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
  • The phone is available in black, white, and copper colors and lacks wireless charging capabilities.
  • Overall, the Xperia M2 Aqua is a functional device with a focus on essential features rather than high-end specifications.
  • Its water resistance is not specified, which may limit its durability in wet conditions.
