  1. Xperia M4 Aqua.

    Fone Style has it for less than 13k with bundled 8 GB microSD, it’s the most affordable waterproof phone from Sony.


  2. Pick the Asus or Sony for a higher chance of getting the LATEST, SAFEST, PERFORMANCE UPDATE.


  3. better choose asus for its beast ram, playing heavy games are just easy.


  4. Huawei G8 should be on the list as well, it has the same price range
