Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

[sreddi]

I had the 8g version and returned to orange and gor the 16g version for about 2 years now without any problems.I use the dual sim on my phone and I find the it quite usefull especially in malls where the one sim is useless.It just got the latest os update 6.0.1.Works very well with the new OS.

Apparently its 3GB free on the 8GB version before you update the crapware that it comes with, 1.26GB after you update it.

Wtf!!!

How are you supposed to use this phone with that much free space for apps(nevermind the app cache, which can get quite big even on small apps)
I can get one of these phones for a good price but its the 8GB version

Fine if you don't use the app store LOL.

Pretty much, one or 2 apps and zero space for any media files or app cache. 8gb is a proper joke on such an advanced phone, the accounts dept not the engineers made that peculiar decision.

Yeah, I had a go at Telkom Mobile for even bringing those models in. Pathetic. Smacks of 'tech trash dumping'

Still relevant - there are 8gb models on the shelves today if you look

i'm using an 8gb version now and i'm pretty sure good has stopped updating on it because it has run out of space

I also have the 8Gb version.
Installed PC Companion and updated the phone using the PC from Lollipop to Marshmallow quite easily.
Since the Marshmallow update the M4 Aqua is all round a much better phone to use. I have a SD Card and under Storage make sure that transferable files like pictures and videos are automatically moved to it.

For me its only WhatsApp and a Weather App I use. If you have limited needs and take a few pictures and watch a Youtube Video then this phone is still OK.

Battery life is also much better with the update.
Added bonus is it seems they were forced to remove all the unnecessary bloatware with the Marshmallow update because of the limited space.

Let me look into that
