Summary
- The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note features a larger 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a higher resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, compared to the 5.0-inch 720 x 1280 pixels display of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, resulting in better pixel density and clarity.
- In terms of performance, both devices have 8GB of RAM, but the K4 Note is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 chipset, while the M4 Aqua uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, which may offer slightly different performance characteristics.
