Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Loses More Than Half Of Internal Storage

Sony Xperia fans who are thinking on upgrading to the Xperia M4 Aqua this year should reconsider about the latest information about its internal storage space. According to XperiaBlog, Sony Mobile severely limited the internal storage of the 8 GB model variant of Xperia M4 Aqua.

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 features 8 GB internal storage space but the 4.03 GB has been consumed by Android 5.0 Lollipop while another 2.09 GB occupied pre-installed applications including the ones from Sony. This leaves around 1.26 GB free storage space for personal apps, media, photos and videos. Remainder of the space will be used for overall function of files, cache and data. Users can uninstall certain apps increase the free space but cannot be performed on every app which came out of the box.

According to the company’s white paper of Xperia M4 Aqua, E2303, E2353 and E2312 have at least 3 GB of free memory usable for user downloadable applications and data files but the real device only provides half of that amount. It seems like Xperia C4 is better on the internal storage department featuring 16 GB of internal storage space and even Xperia SP fared better with 5.8 user available storage space.
