Sony Xperia M - Specifications. Sony Xperia M - Specifications for Sony Xperia M

Remembering its class smartphone Sony Xperia M C1905 is seen by us in front of its bright sound. Coristuvachi have access to a wide range of colors, middle-class classic black and white, bright yellow and bright violet. The Wiišov phone is small - the yoga screen is 4 inches long, the weight is 112g. The Sony Xperia M cannot be called super-thin at a thickness of 9.3 mm, but it can be easy to lie in your hands, you can easily carry it in your stomach.

Health, productivity

Sony Xperia M C1905 is positioned as a mid-budget device, its characteristics are so. Deyaka invisibility є dual-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, which works with clock frequency 1 GHz and to finish the hard graphic chip Adreno 305 the tightness of the first is simply not enough to fully realize the potential of the other. Therefore, foldable graphical games are very important, and the axis of the web site is zavantazhuyutsya mayzhe mittevo. Z obsyagno operational memory all harazd, її seen 1GB.

Screen, cameras, sound

The Sony Xperia M C1905 screen, having taken off the TFT-matrix with a low resolution of 854x480, but, regardless of the price, zoomed in on some of the road models. The main feature is a great reserve of radiance with a maximum value of 422 Cd / m2, which allows you to easily read for a radiant sun. The contrast is not on top, the transfer of the color of the sprat with a scrawny in the cold weather, looking around, it also fills up the beauty of the best. The cameras of the smartphone are not compatible with the great variety of buildings - 5MP and 0.3MP, but the main one is equipped with the function of capturing in HDR mode, which increases the brightness of the images, taking them away from folding minds. Yakisny sound smartphone security with HD Voice technology, so that even when it is roamed, and the sound is created, the sensitivity and clarity of the miracle.

Assessing the opinion about the Sony Xperia M C1905, we should know that it is more positive. Pluses - design, body quality, clarity, high quality graphics, good sound. Minuses - budget screen, weak cameras. Take a look at the varto model, but when choosing, it is necessary to protect the weak and the strong sides, in a similar way to the power priorities.

Protected from the drive saw model with average characteristics

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua smartphone has been finished for a long time, but it’s still spring at the MWC 2015 exhibition in Barcelona, ​​but only once we got to our test laboratory. Apraat of a loan of the middle of the middle -sustainable of Sony, sorted, seniorly to a mapping set of characteristics of the fact of the “compromise” gesto to the mobility, and the yaki traditional are prayer.

In the autumn of this year, the Xperia M family was expanded for the older one for all the characteristics, but at the same time it was richly expensive for the M5 model. However, this smartphone will show up in our test lab three times later, but for the time being, we can see that the Japanese company at the moment is not more powerful than the costliest for a price that is about twice as low as that of today's flagships.

Complete set

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual smartphone is delivered on sale in a simple, flat, utilitarian-looking box made of thin, non-varnished cardboard. The packaging of Sony smartphones often has an inconspicuous, unprepossessing look, but it seems that the company’s dbaty pro dovkilla Even so, the box is mostly smashed from recycled materials from soy ink storage (easily laid out after disposal).

A set of accessories is more modest, it is folded out of the least expensive charger (5 V, 850 mA) and the most convenient Micro-USB cable. At the set, they did not include a dart headset.

Zovnіshnіy vglyad that zruchnіst vikoristannya

The design of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is the same as that of all the previous models of this collection, released for the rest of the year. Changes in the form of a generation up to a generation is only a form of a side trim. AT to this particular type the sidewalls, like those of the top Xperia Z3+, are rounded and smooth, and there are no more bevels on the side frame. For some reason, Sony smartphones began to feel a little more comfortable in the hands, but they became more slimy.

Budov’s body is also fully known: the cream of the frame, which here, before the speech, is vikonan not from metal, but from the excellent matte plastic, stuffed with silver farboi, two glass panels, which cover the front and back parts of the body. Sloped to the point where there is more marquee material, lower plastic, so that on the case of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua there are faceless finger marks, the case cannot be called non-marking. Vtіm, the chanuvals of the brand have been ringing for a long time already, there is nothing new to stink here.

Behind the dimensions, the smartphone is a typical representative of the current five-inch models, the device is not too compact, but it’s fine to finish it off, it’s easy to finish it off in the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua. At the bіchnu plastic frame on the corners of the vrіzanі m'yakіshi inserts from polycarbonate: the rozrobniks harden, so the stench of the building will extinguish part of the energy of the blow when the device falls. Inserts can be such a color, like the frame itself.

Cards, like and in others Sony models, inserted into white roses, only on top of flagship models, there are no plastic hanging boxes here. Slots can be swept by spring-loaded mechanisms; In this case, there is a variant of installing two Nano-SIM SIM-cards and one microSD memory card at the same time. Slots for cards are spaced on different sides and covered with plastic covers with gum pads.

The caps are needed for the protection from the inside, drive that saw: I will attach it to the protection class IP65 / 68. Tsіkavo, that Sony has radically changed its policy, due to the water protection of mobile devices. Yakshcho wounded Smartfoni with a step by the stall of the Zhista, literally, the yak for the Pirovodnoye zyomki, the adoption of a photo of the Baseyni, is now on the OFITIC SITISH PRODITE. .

Apparently, according to this very official description, thefts in the case of a hit, drive that saw of attachments “do not be afraid of not pouring, not mitt under the tap”, but in case of which “it’s wrong, or else I’ll attach a pull behind me to cancel the guarantee.” I realized that service center Sony got tormented by nesuml_nimi koristuvachami, scho ruin the minds of the exploitation for an hour of bathing, but why is IP68 here? Adzhe vіdpovіdnіst step zakhistu IP68 transfers, scho virіb adnexa for trival zanurennya near the water to the clay over 1 m.

Below is the advertising poster of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone, which can achieve the same IP65/68 rating. Now there are no more pictures on the Sony website, instead of it there was an image of a girl, how to stand with a smartphone under the board. For the sake of justice, let’s say that for older models, for example Xperia Z3 Compact, the retailers did not change the text, which confirms the possibility of zanurennya in fresh water at a depth of up to 1.5 meters per hour up to 30 hvilin up to the IP68 standard.

Prote covers with gum seals on new Sony devices are gone. In this case, there are two: one closes the slot for the memory card, the other one closes the roses for SIM-cards at once.

And from vodcrita group Contacts appeared more and more from the sidewalls of the new Sony mobile devices, so the earlier commercial docking stations with roses for charging will be handy here. Then there was a cover that closed the Micro-USB socket. It’s handy, there’s no more need to open such a plug when the battery is charged properly. Don't pretend to be hit by the driver now and the audience, but it's not a novelty. Also from the case there was a fastening for a belt.

All mechanical control keys are traditionally placed on one side: here are firm round life buttons, and a double-position key for adjusting volume, and a small photo button. Hіd at the buttons dosit tight, but the sound is clear; There are no special claims to the management elements.

Nope, which is unimportant on the two symmetrical walls on the front panel, the sound of the main speaker does not come out through them, as it is implemented in Sony flagships, and through the border, the third arm, vrіzanі in the lower end. And the frontal grati prihovuyut under him portable speaker that microphone. There are no touch buttons on the front panel - the buttons are virtual, on the screen.

On top of the screen are the crimson sensors and the frontal camera, which is such a blue element, like a light indicator. A small round dot gives light signals, telling about the status of charging and input notifications.

On the back side, traditionally, cameras and photographic coats were placed at the end. The round chamber is framed with a metal ring, the module does not protrude beyond the intersurfaces. Spalah may have one light segment, it may work like a lighter.

On the Russian market, the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual is presented in three color options for the design of the case: the traditional black and white, as well as the unusual erysipelas color, which the retailers have dubbed "coral".

Screen

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua smartphone has an IPS sensor matrix, covered with a flat fold. The screen is folded up 62x110 mm, diagonal - 5 inches. And the axis of the razdіlna zdatnіst becomes less than 1280 × 720, so the number of dots is more expensive 294 ppi - it's far from the current standards, which are not the flagship smartphones. The frame around the screen is wide: the sidewalls from the edge of the screen to the edge of the body are folded 5 mm each, the upper and lower parts - 17 mm each.

To regulate the level of yaskravost, you can vicorate automatically adjusted, based on a robotic ambient light sensor, є the possibility of smooth regulation manually. Multi-touch technology here allows you to process 9 one-hour dots. Є proximity sensor, which blocks the screen before the hour of the smartphone’s arrival to the ear. The screen of a smartphone can be touched in mittens and with wet fingers.

Detailed expertise on the selection of vimiruvalnyh priladіv provіv editor of distributions "Monіtori" and "Projector and TB" Oleksiy Kudryavtsev. We suggest some expert thought about the screen of the last streak.

The front surface of the screen is vikonan at the sight of a glass plate made of a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to the appearance of undercuts. Judging from the appearance of the anti-bliss of the power of the screen, it is not higher, lower at the screen of Google Nexus 7 (2013) (given simply Nexus 7). For accuracy, we point a photograph, on which the screens are shown white surfaces (left-handed - Nexus 7, right-handed - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual, further they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual is not exactly bright (the brightness behind the photos is 111 versus 110 for the Nexus 7). The two objects in the screen of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual are weaker, so you can tell about those between the balls of the screen (specifically, between the outer fold and the surface of the RK matrix) there is no overlap (screen type OGS - One Glass Solution). For the windows of a smaller number of cordonies (like a cloudy/refurbishment) with strongly differing coefficients of brokenness, such screens look better in the minds of a strong outdoor lighting, but repairing a cracked outdoor warehouse costs a lot more, so it’s more expensive. On the outer surface of the screen, there is a special oleophobic (fatty) coating (for efficiency, the troch is lower, lower on the Nexus 7), it is easier to see that in the form of fingers, but they are less swept, lower at the fold.

With manual shading of brightness and with a white field displayed on the whole screen, the maximum value of brightness became close to 600 cd / m², the minimum - 52 cd / m². The maximum brightness is over the temple, and, vrakhovuyuchi vіdmіnі antidvіdlіskі vіdlіstіvі, chitanії navіt vіdnіchny day posіschennyam bude іn good rіvnі. For the minds of a new darkness, the minimum clarity can be high. The presence of automatic regulation of brightness behind the light sensor (there is a left-handed hand in the logo on the front panel). In the automatic mode, when changing the bright minds, the brightness of the screen both increases and decreases. Tsya funkt_ya lie down in the regulation of yaskravost. If it is at a minimum, then in the new dark room the function of auto-brightness changes the brightness to 52 cd / m² (rich), in the minds of an office illuminated by a piece of light (approximately 400 lux) it is set to 57 cd / m² (little), ) on a clear day after the reception, but without direct sleepy light - 20,000 lux or a troch more) raises up to 600 cd / m² (to the maximum, which is necessary). As the brightness level is at half the scale, then the brightness of the screen for three minds, which are more important, is offensive: 53, 98 and 600 cd / m² (in the dark, the value is protected, reshta - vіdpovіdnі). As a regulator of brightness settings to the maximum - 94, 290, 600 cd / m² (the first two values ​​are high). As a result, the function of auto-adjustment of brightness works more or less adequately, but in the event of a fall in darkness, the screen becomes overwhelmed by supernaturally bright. On whether it is equal to the brightness of the modulation, it is practically daily, so there is no screen measure.

Which smartphone has an IPS type matrix. Microphotographs demonstrate the typical structure of subpixels for IPS:

For comparison, you can check out the gallery of microphotographs of screens that are featured in mobile technology.

The screen can be well looked around without a significant change in colors, with great inspirations I look at the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting the sounds. For comparison, we point to photographs on which the same images are shown on the screen of Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual and Nexus 7, with which the clarity of the screens is set to approximately 200 cd / m² (with a white field on the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera is primus switching at 6500 K. Perpendicular to the screen white field:

Significantly good evenness of lightness and color tone of the white field. І test image:

The transmission of the color is good and the colors are rich in both screens, the color balance is insignificant. Now under the hood is about 45 degrees to the flat and to the side of the screen:

It is obvious that the colors did not change much on both screens, but the contrast of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual changed due to the greater black tint. 1st field:

Brightness under the hood of the screen has changed (less than 5 times, appearing from retail at the window display), but at the top of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual the fall of brightness is less. The black field, when viewed diagonally, hangs strongly and fills with a green light, or it is overlaid with a neutral-sirim. The photographs below demonstrate (the brightness of the white plots at the screens perpendicular to the plane is approximately the same!):

І under another cut:

With a perpendicular look, the evenness of the black field is middle, shards in a few places, black trochs hang:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is good at around 900:1. The hour of sounding at the transition of black-white-black is 17 ms (9 ms on + 8 ms off). Transition between gray tones 25% and 75% (according to the numerical values ​​of the color) and back in the amount of the loan takes 28 ms. Awakened by 32 points with an equal interval for numerical values, the gray gamma curve did not show a blockage either in the light or in the shadows. The indicator of the approximate static function is 2.15, which is three times lower than the standard value of 2.2. When this is real, the gamma-curve is little seen in the static fallow:

According to hardware tests, in this smartphone there is no need for dynamic development of the brightness of the light in the fall due to the nature of the image, which is shown, which is even better.

Cooling color close to sRGB:

The spectra show how light-filtered matrices mimic the components one to one:

The result is visually colored with natural richness. The balance of colors on the gray scale is good, since the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, and the difference in the spectrum of absolutely black body (E) is lower than 10, which is considered a good indicator for a calmer building. With any color temperature and E change little from color to color - it is positively signified on the visual assessment of color balance. (In the darkest areas of the gray scale, you can not be safe, because the balance of colors there is not of great importance, that change of color characteristics at low brightness is great.)

Which smartphone has the ability to adjust the color balance of adjusting the intensities of the three main colors.

What did we try, the result is given, signed Cor. on the charts above. At the result, the balance of the gray ones increased in the middle, but the virus value rose, which is no longer good. Behind the fact of correction in this moment, there is no sense.

Let's bring the bags. The screen may be higher than the maximum brightness and may have good anti-bliss power, so that the extension can easily be greeted by the posture of the host on a summer sleepy day. For the minds of a new darkness, the minimum clarity can be high. It is permissible to switch the mode with automatic adjustment of the brightness, which works more or less adequately. It is necessary to bring the screen to an effective oleophobic coating, the presence of a repeated gap in the screen balls and the merehtinnya, as well as close to sRGB colors and a garniy color balance. To significant shortcomings, we can see the low stability of the black breath when looking from the perpendicular to the screen area. Tim is no less, with the improvement of the importance of the characteristics of the same for the class of extensions, the brightness of the screen can be considered high.

Sound

At the sound level, the Xperia M4 Aqua smartphone is unremarkable. The single main speaker has a booming and flat sound without any noticeable presence low frequencies. It is impossible to say that the sound at the maximum level is too quiet, but at the same time the stock of loudness is not enough. The headphone situation is a little better, but all the same sound is deaf, not too bright, the sound is bleak, although without the ClearAudio + improvement system, it will be louder. With the connections of this complex system, the sound of a smartphone becomes three times louder and richer. For manual control, there are more than standard equalizer capabilities available with preset values, and not a word is said about the functions that Sony flagships have, such as Clear Phase, Clear Bass and Clear Stereo, as well as xLoud technology.

FM-radio in smartphones, it does not work without the connection of an external headphone antenna and cannot record programs on the air. The recording of telephone calls for the help of staff resources from smartphones is also not forwarded.

Camera

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual is equipped with two well-known digital camera modules with a separate building of 13 and 5 megapixels. The frontal 5-megapixel Exmor R module has a wide-angle lens with an f/2.4 aperture and a fixed focus. Front camera you can do it by hand automatic modes zimkoy management. The HDR mode is supported, the SteadyShot electronic stabilization function, the camera can recognize a laugh. For additional parameters of the image, you can add the effect of improving the look of the shield. For a selfie, the quality of photographs is generally not bad, the pictures are detailed, light, color transfer is natural.

The main camera is equipped with a 13-megapixel Sony Exmor RS module mobile outbuildings with an f/2.0 aperture lens, autofocus and wet sleep. Autofocus can function slowly for the object, for the subjective effects of the wines here do it fast. The camera can also have HDR mode, the functions of looking at an individual, laughter, electronic stabilization and a lot of additional modes, the number of which, in fact, is not as wide as that of the flagship models of the same virobnik. Obviously, the possibility of capturing additional modes, among them, is popular, such as Time Lapse.

The camera captures video at the maximum resolution of 1920×1080 with speed up to 30 fps. There are no options for renting with a retail building 4K or recording with a speed of 60 frames per second. Tim is no less, with a video camera, on the whole, it copes badly, especially claims to the quality of the visual image, which is accepted, and there is no recording with this sound. Truthfully, the noise dampening system does not cope with strong winds.

Attach test videos:

• Clip #1 (26 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)
• Clip #2 (48 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)
• Movie #3 (19 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)

	Good sharpness across the field of the frame and behind the plans.
	The text is good practice.
	You can mark the blur zone near the upper left corner of the frame, but in the other the sharpness is good.
	The far and middle plans are very wide, the focus has shifted to the front.
	I know the problem is from distant plans. It looks like a pardon for focusing, the camera's shards can focus on inconsistency.
	The macro camera does well.
	From the last plan, leafing through the dosit does not get angry for a long time.
	I'm revisiting a distant plan of zipping, even if it's not.

Sony, as always, establishes a distance between flagships and mid-range ones. True, in the corners of the frame at Sony, sometimes it’s a mistake and a flagship, but in another case it’s clear that a good module of “clothes” is easy to use and not to be used by the program. Vtim, the main claim is that you can present to the camera - tse sharpness, that you are walking. The foreground, part of the frame can be sharp, all the plans are near the center, but from the periphery, and the entire frame can be made sharp. At the same time, parts can boast of fine detailing. Noise canceling is typical for Sony - not clean, but efficient and not miles. Before sharpening, the camera practically does not penetrate.

As a result, for this segment, the camera can be called a front camera, although the instability of the result can be seen more closely to keep an eye on it.

Telephone part and communication

The smartphone is standard on the current 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, as well as on the fourth-generation LTE Cat. 4 with a theoretical maximum possible reception rate of up to 150 Mb/s. Supported by the same ranges of LTE FDD, so that in the three most widely used by domestic operators in the ranges (B3, B7 and B20) this smartphone is functional. In practice, with the SIM-card of the Beeline operator in the Moscow region, the smartphone is registered and practiced in 4G networks. It doesn’t call out to the received signal, the device does not receive a signal from the reception areas.

Other communication capabilities tezhe even better: two bands of Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) are supported, implemented NFC technology Bluetooth may version 4.1 supports the A2DP stereo audio transmission profile, and supports the ANT+ standard. You can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, in the presence of Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, Media Go, MTP, Miracast. It's amazing, but with whom, the connection is not implemented outbuildings before USB port in OTG mode.

The navigation module works both from GPS, and from the GLONASS domestic system, satellites of the Chinese Beidou (BDS) device can also be used. Before the navigation module, there are no special claims, the first satellites during a cold start are known to be the first air. There is also a magnetic field sensor, based on a functioning compass navigation software.

The smartphone supports the work with two SIM-cards, but also improves the modes in the spartan door: you can easily bind to a specific card only the data transfer function, and for voice callsі textual reminder it is necessary to select the SIM-card for the appropriate interface for hourly dialing. I don’t mean to say razdratuvannya in a snarky way, but if you can reject such obvious functionality, it’s like linking some other functions to specific cards.

Roses for SIM-cards are equal to their capabilities, fast data transmission at 3G (4G) networks supports the card in any slot, it changes directly from the menu without the need to physically change the slots. The robot with two SIM-cards is organized according to the primary standard Dual SIM Dual Standby, if offending cards can be changed into active mode ochіkuvannya, but they can’t work at once - there is only one radio module here.

OS and software security

As an operating system, the fifth version of the Google Android software platform (LolliPop) with the Sony proprietary shell installed on top of it, has taken on a rich innovation that appeared with the advent of Android 5.0. The replacement of the branded menu of the remaining entries, the program of the menu will now be updated with the interface, requested by Google itself, interactive merging information tiles have appeared, the ability to create guest accounts has been added, save and restore a backup copy Google accounts If you want a lot of stuff, it was previously implemented by the retailers of Sony itself.

At the same time, the main views of the corporate shell were saved, including the menu of add-ons with the add-on control menu, which are installed on the side, and you know the widgets of the camera, wait, music and What's new were left scatter on the work tables. Dial installed programs it doesn’t change from time to time: here you can know TrackID (replacement for the popular Shazam), the program “Malyunok”, music service Deezer, a fully functional package for working with office documents OfficeSuite, a program for editing video Movie Creator and other known programs. Nowhere did I find a menu of small programs that open through the distribution of the remaining running programs.

Productivity

The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual hardware platform will be based on the well-known eight-core single-chip system (SoC) Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939). The 64-bit Vikonan platform is based on big.LITTLE technology, de chotire Cortex-A53 processor cores and suicidal cores with the same Cortex-A53 cores, and these "fours" have a different maximum frequency. Depending on the nature of that level of engagement, either 4 “younger” (up to 1 GHz) or 4 “older” (up to 1.5 GHz) cores are included, which allows you to save energy. For the processing of the graphics, the Adreno 405 video clip with a frequency of up to 550 MHz is given. The Snapdragon 615 SoC is based on a 28 nm process technology and can be classified as a mid-range solution.

The amount of operational memory of the smartphone becomes 2 GB. The device has 16 GB of flash memory, of which no more than 9.5 GB is available for the needs of the driver himself. Vtim, some modifications of Sony Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303, E2353, E2312), for some of the built-in memory to become less than 8 GB. The amount of memory can be increased for the size of microSD cards, moreover, the amount of such cards is officially supported up to 200 GB. In practice, our Transcend Premium microSDXC UHS-1 transfer card with a capacity of 128 GB was recognized as an extension. The mode of connecting external devices to the Micro-USB (OTG) port of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Dual is not connected without removing the input.

For pіdbags test Sony Xperia M4 Aqua showed modest results, swipe lower, lower could be scored against the already far from the most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 platform. .

Well, until this hour, a small number of mobile devices, based on updates and a larger version of the Snapdragon 615 platform of another generation, were already launched on the market. It has a maximum operating frequency of the processor cores up to 1.65 GHz, and such an SoC was founded, for example, we protested earlier Xiaomi Mi 4i and Lenovo Vibe Shot. According to their results, put down in the table, it is clear that these smartphones have become the most productive. Alas, it’s a pity that Sony didn’t go this way, having installed a platform modification in its smartphone, which demonstrates richer results, which, again, is well seen behind the data of the relative table (in fact, the Xperia M4 Aqua model, as we already guessed, bula announced a long time ago).

Якщо ж порівнювати з конкуруючими рішеннями, то тут спостерігається практично повний паритет з аналогічною за рівнем і позиціонуванням платформою MediaTek MT6753, у якої, на відміну від широко використовуваної МТ6752, частота ядер також помітно знижена (сама ж МТ6752, у порівнянні з цими двома урізаними модифікаціями , you see richly different results). Similar numbers in all tests show another mid-range SoC, like the winner in their Huawei smartphones - HiSilicon Kirin 620.

Testing in other versions complex tests AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:

All the results, taken by us when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of the most popular benchmarks, were summarized in the table for clarity. At the table, add a small number of other devices from different segments, as well as protests on similar remaining versions of benchmarks (you should not hesitate to take an initial assessment of the dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one match, it is not possible to show the results different versions benchmarks, that "behind the scenes" are filled with a lot of good and current models - through those that stench in their time passed "smuha reshkod" on the front versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in 3DMark game testsGFXBenchmark, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When tested in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones, it is now possible to run the program in Unlimited mode, which allowed rendering fixes at 720p and turning on VSync (through this speed, you can go up to 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

If you need to use benchmarks to evaluate the speed of the javascript engine, then you need to start working on those that have results in them that are exactly in the browser, in which they are launched, so that the comparison can be correct only on the same OS and browsers, but this can not be done when testing wait. For Android, we always need to tweak Google Chrome.

Heat sink

Below is the heat image of the rear surface, taken after 10 minutes of battery test using the GFXBenchmark program:

It can be seen that heating is localized near the upper part of the device, which, perhaps, shows the heating of SoC microcircuits. Behind the data of the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 48 degrees (at a temperature of 24 degrees). This is even stronger heating for this test in comparison with other modern smartphones.

Video creation

To test the "all-inclusiveness" when creating videos (including the support of various codecs, containers and special capabilities, for example subtitles), we stopped the widest formats, thus establishing the main mass of content, which is in Merezh. Respectfully, it is important for mobile devices to support hardware decoding of video clips on a chip level, it is most often impossible to acquire such options for a computer with more than processor cores. Also, it’s not possible to check in the mobile annex for decoding everything-for-everything; All results have been summarized into a single table.

The results of the testing of the samples did not show any security with the necessary decoders, as the need for full-scale engraving of the largest multimedia files that are the widest in the media. For successful їх progravannya happen to go for the help of a third-party program - for example, MX Player. True, in some cases it is necessary to change the settings and manually install additional codecs, even now this player does not officially support the AC3 audio format.

Testing the features of viewing video Oleksiy Kudryavtsev.

The MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, was not shown in this smartphone, so it happened to be tested for displaying video files on the screen of the device itself. For this purpose, we scored a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle, which moved to one division per frame (div. "The method of testing attachments in response to a video signal. Version 1 (for mobile attachments)"). The screen icons with a 1-second video display helped to determine the nature of the video file frames display with different parameters: the frame rate was varied (1280 by 720 (720p) and 1920 by 1080 (1080p) pixels) and the frame rate (24, 25, 3 s). In our tests, the MX Player video player was selected in the Hardware mode. The results of the test are summarized in the table:

Note: Same in both sides Equityі Passes green scores were put up, which means that it’s better for everything, when reviewing films of artifacts, calling out to nervous drawings and skipping shots, otherwise you won’t see the sound, otherwise your number and memory won’t add to the comfort of the review. Red badges point to possible problems, pov'yazanі іz dvorennym vіdpovіdnyh filіv.

According to the criteria for viewing frames, the quality of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, so that frames (or groups of frames) can (but not goiter) be displayed with larger or smaller equal number of intervals and without frame skips. Vinyatok - files with 50 and 60 frames / s, for some, the ability to skip frames per second is even higher. When playing video files with a 1280 x 720 (720p) video file on a smartphone screen, the video file will be displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one per pixel, so that at the other distribution building. The range of brightness that appears on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - in shadows and in light, all gradations of colors are displayed, - which is necessary for the correct creation of typical video files.

Hour of autonomous work

An unknown battery, installed in the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, may not be too great for today's worlds, the capacity is only 2400 mA·year. As a result, the smartphone cannot boast of record-breaking trivality autonomous robots, out on the middle level, not a thing. Varto also means that the testing was carried out without any energy-saving functions, and Sony smartphones Call out the sprat of variants, united by the common name Stamina. Before the speech, from the present day android versions The operating system introduced the energy-saving mode of Google itself, which, behind the locking of inclusions in the system, changed the menu, assigned the battery to the battery.

According to the results of testing non-stop reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, light theme, in auto-larynx mode) with a minimum comfortable level of clarity (the clarity of the bula was set at 100 cd / m²), it took about 11.5 years to fully discharge the battery, and with uninterrupted viewing of YouTube videos in high quality (HQ) with the same clarity through home merezha Wi-Fi device was worn for 9 years. In the 3D-ihor mode, the smartphone was turned off at 4:00. The retailers themselves rely on the fact that in the normal average mode of operation, a building smartphone can be propagated on one charge for two dobi, an hour of work in the mode of change becomes close to 13 years, and in the mode of recovery - up to 493 years. The hour of recharging the battery to become, for our timers, is approximately 2 years.

At the moment, the price of Sony Xperia M4 Aqua in the official Russian distribution varies between 20-21 thousand rubles. For a penny, the Japanese will try to achieve a typical set of capabilities, typical for a good middle peasant, based on the mid-range and far from the most productive Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 platform. є a couple of characteristic moments. First, vologozahist. That food, really, for the rest of the hour, was strongly discredited by Sony itself, as if it was unstoppable to bury its equipment in the water, for which they continue to declare compliance with IP68 specifications. Against this background, the addition of the word "Aqua" in the name of the model looks, before speech, especially stupidly. Well, in another way, the popularity of the Sony brand is still given signs: the recognition of the name of the brand of the flooring of the temple, that the company can afford to release the same type of mobile products, as it becomes more and more at a glance.

Memory: Adreno 305 is important to the device, if you don’t see it sensibly and everything is through a crying memory, it’s hard to get clogged with various add-ons and caches, often the problem is rooted and replaced by memory, but I didn’t read it again. .2, at 4.3 it was not possible to carry out a change, but with the new firmware it is much better to catch Wi-Fi.

1. Memory price, the memory can pass, but it was especially small for me. Plus, through the marriage of the place on the phone, the mobile phone simply starts to function. All programs, like on smartphones, hover without the possibility of re-enablement (it will help only the sound of the program or re-wiring the phone), the camera similarly does not work and does not scatter screenshots. 2. The front camera - again, for the price, the front camera is not guilty of overshooting 3.2 MHP, but those that we call the camera on the front of the phone for the quality are just stingy. 3. The speaker is weak, the loudness has decreased over the years.
