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.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera, but the M4 Aqua has a wider aperture of f/2.0, potentially allowing for better low-light performance.
- The K4 Note has a larger 3300 mAh battery compared to the M4 Aqua's 2400 mAh, likely providing longer usage time.
- Build quality differs as the K4 Note has Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and an aluminum frame, while the M4 Aqua has a plastic frame and lacks the same level of durability.
- Both devices run on Android Lollipop, upgradable to Marshmallow, but the K4 Note offers stereo speakers, enhancing the audio experience compared to the M4 Aqua.
