Sony Mobile Communications has announced yesterday a new breed of waterproof smartphone in a mid-range price -- Sony Xperia M2 Aqua.
The M2 Aqua shares the same capable processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 clocked at 1.2GHz, with its predecesor. It also packs LTE/4G capabilities and is one of the few international brands present in the Philippines that falls at a budget-friendly tag.
Other specs include 8MP Main camera and VGA Front cam, 2330mAh non-removable battery, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory with microSD card slot of up to 32GB, GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, and Android 4.4 Kitkat. No words still on when this device may come at our shores but with the popularity of M2 here, we may expect it just on time. For the pricing, we may see it of course at mid-range, slightly higher than M2 price currently.
The Xperia M2 was no doubt a hit for many smartphone users with its all-around specs at a pocket-friendly price. In lieu with this, Sony has improved its product portfolio in this price range equipping its popular M2 with additional waterproofing features.
“The popularity of Xperia M2 showed us that there was a huge demand for premium Sony features at an affordable price-point. Following consumer feedback, we’ve now taken this a step further by bringing our waterproof expertise to a mid-range smartphone for the first time with Xperia M2 Aqua..." said Calum MacDougall, Director of Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile."With an IP65 and IP68 rating, you can now enjoy taking pictures in the rain and even under the pool. It can be immersed in a fresh water for 30 minutes at a maximum depth of 1.5 meters. That's very cool for a mid-range smartphone.
