Text: Ravi Sharma,TOI Tech Sony's new Xperia M4 Aqua Dual, priced at Rs 24,990, seems like a fish out of water compared to smartphones by Chinese brands that offer better hardware at much lower prices.

Now, if you are looking for a water-resistant smartphone, then your options are very, very limited.
