Sony Xperia M4 Aqua officially available in the US for just $199.99 (unlocked)

Sony today revealed that its Xperia M4 Aqua is officially available in the US for only $199.99, unlocked. We're talking about the 16 GB US version of the handset here, not the 8 GB international one, which has been available to buy via Amazon since June, being sold without US warranty.

$200 is not a brad price for what the Xperia M4 Aqua has to offer, starting with the fact that it's a dust- and water-resistant smartphone - we don't get to see many of these at this price point. Running Android Lollipop, the M4 Aqua sports a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, and is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor. Other features include a 5 MP front-facing camera, 13 MP rear camera, 2 GB of RAM, microSD card support, and a 2400 mAh battery. There's also US LTE connectivity on board (compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile, but not with Verizon and Sprint).

The Xperia M4 Aqua will be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but it's not clear exactly when that's going to happen. Check out our Sony Xperia M4 Aqua review for a closer look at the smartphone.
