Latest Firmware Update For Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Removes Few Preloaded Apps To Save Space


Sony has removed some of the pre-installed apps of Xperia M4 Aqua by rolling out an update for the smartphone. Sony received negative feedback for the available storage on its 8GB model, and decided to give users more space to store media and other content. The update is for the dual-SIM version as well.

Sony on its support page states that the latest software update v26.1.A.2.167 would be removing a list of apps - Books, CloudPrint, FaceLock, GoogleTTS, Keep, Newsstand, NewsWeather, PlayGames, PlusOne and Talkback. However, Sony also said that if any of these apps have been updated even once, they would remain in the device. All apps except Facelock can be downloaded from Google Play if users ever need them. Users can check for the software version by navigating inside the smartphone's Settings > About Phone > Build number/version.

As per a breakdown done by Xperiablog website, the 8GB base model of Sony Xperia M4 Aqua and Xperia M4 Aqua Dual only leaves 1.25GB free for users. While Android 5.0 Lollipop consumes 4GB of space, 2GB is taken by the pre-installed apps on the handset.
