Japanese electronics company Sony has a knack for producing waterproof devices. Following that trend, last Tuesday, Sony launched Xperia M2 Aqua, a water- and dust-resistant version of its mid-range smartphone, Xperia M2.
Sony Xperia M2 Aqua weighs 149 g. It measures 140 mm x 72 mm x 8.6 mm. Xperia M2 Aqua’s hardware is pretty much the same as its predecessor Xperia M2. The Xperia M2 Aqua runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and it comes with a 4.8-inch 540 x 960 qHD display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM.
There’s an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.1-megapixel front-facing shooter, a microSD card that can be extended up to 32GB and a 2,330mAh battery. The Xperia M2 Aqua can remain intact while kept in 1.5-meter deep water for up to half an hour.
The phone comes in two colors – Black and White. It supports 4G LTE, GPS/A-GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, Wi-Fi, DLNA, and ANT+ for sports accessories. It also comes preloaded with Lifelog app for SmartBand SWR10. Here’s a video of the phone.
