Comparisons Featuring Sony Xperia L3
Short Review
- The Sony Xperia L3 features a sleek design with dimensions of 154 x 72 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 156 grams, utilizing a glass front with Gorilla Glass 5 and a plastic back.
- Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 282 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, paired with an octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM, which handles everyday tasks adequately.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP main sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 3300 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities, offering reasonable longevity for daily use.
- Running on Android 8.0 Oreo, the software experience is basic, lacking updates to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, enhancing its usability.
- The absence of 5G support may limit future-proofing, but it remains functional for current networks.
- The phone does not feature stereo speakers but retains a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Overall, the Xperia L3 presents a solid entry-level smartphone with essential features.
