Its ability to take care of the smartphone basics, as well as the inclusion of an enviable camera and battery life, make it one of the true standout smartphones for 2015 in the mid-range market. As such, the M4 Aqua seems the kind of smartphone that a discerning Android user would carry, and probably should.
