Sony's Xperia M4 Aqua hits the Canadian market, $299 off-contract
A couple of weeks back, Sony announced that its waterproof Xperia M4 Aqua would become available to the Canadian market by the end of this month, with Bell, Fido, Videotron, Virgin Mobile and WIND Mobile all primed to carry the mid-ranger. Videotron has been first to the draw, and if the Xperia M4 Aqua is on your radar, the network operator is offering it up for $300 without a contract.
Videotron is also selling the device for $29.95 tethered to a subscription, and either way, it's a pretty good deal. The M4 Aqua is packed with an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, a 5-inch, 720 x 1280 display, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. There's also an 8 GB variant of the device, which Videotron doesn't appear to be selling, although since said handset only offers 1.26 GB of on-board storage once you factor in the bloatware, this is probably for the best.
The Xperia M4 Aqua does include a microSD slot for those who need more real estate, and there's a 2,400 mAh battery that Sony claims can last for two days. Sony's name is synonymous with high-spec camera technology, so despite being a mid-range device, the 13-megapixel rear-facing camera packs a decent punch, as does the 5-megapixel selfie shooter on the front.
