Short Review

  • The Sony Xperia L features a compact design with dimensions of 128.7 x 65 x 9.7 mm and a weight of 137g, available in black, white, and red.
  • Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 228 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, suitable for everyday use but limited for intensive applications.
  • The rear camera is 8 MP with an f/2.4 aperture, capable of 720p video recording at 30fps, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • Battery capacity stands at 1750mAh, providing basic endurance, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • The device runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, upgradable to 4.2.2, offering a straightforward user experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
  • The microUSB 2.0 port allows for standard charging and data transfer.
  • Overall, the Xperia L is a functional smartphone with essential features but limited performance and camera capabilities.
