hi,

was planning to buy c4 or m4. i have found a lot of issues from the net, hope users of both handset here can clarify this :-)

1. Battery doesn't last as long for normal usage
2. Heating issues while using camera apps, apparently it's worse on the m4
3. Camera quality is average with slow capture rate (2-3 secs after pressing capture button)

If for recommendations, Samsung A5, Xperia C4 or M4 will you recommend me for my selfie sister? :-)

Cheers!

Rear camera lens are the same.. but C4 and M4 front is different.. C4 using Exmor R 25mm lens which got 80 degree wide of view.. While in M4 front is 22mm which got 88 degree wide angle.. Sony Mobile didnt state M4 use Exmor R.. but in some india mobile review do mentioned M4 use Exmor R lens too.. but not too sure it legit or not..

So basically rear lens are the same.. front should be C4 perform better in lowlight.. additional C4 do have front soft flashlight..

for front camera photo, in lowlight situation i will recommend people use manual mode turn on HDR and set timer 0.5 sec for selfie or wefie.. if hand very shaky then set to 2secs to ready stabiliser our own hand.. HDR can improve the photo lighting

Nice pic. It is very clear. I wonder if compare to C4 front which one is better since C4 sacrifice waterproof it should have invested into the camera right? And I see some images there is a bit curvy/dent effect. Is this filter settings?
