Comparisons Featuring Sony Xperia L2
Short Review
- The Sony Xperia L2 features a solid design with a glass front protected by Gorilla Glass 4 and a plastic back and frame, weighing 178 grams.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737T chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 3GB of RAM, which is adequate for everyday tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 3300 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities, providing reasonable longevity for typical use.
- Running on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, the software experience is basic, lacking some of the latest features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, and USB Type-C, ensuring compatibility with various devices.
- The phone is available in Black, Gold, and Pink colors, catering to different aesthetic preferences.
- It does not offer water resistance, which may be a consideration for some users.
- Overall, the Xperia L2 is a functional device suitable for basic smartphone needs.
