Smartphone Sony Xperia L1. Sony Xperia L1 is a good budget smartphone for those who don't expect much. Characteristics and test results of Sony Xperia L1
IN Lately Sony is not doing as well as management would like. Xperia smartphones They cannot compete with modern impudent Chinese (Xiaomi and Meizu). Users simply do not understand why they should pay huge amounts of money for devices that are much inferior in performance to gadgets from the above-mentioned brands. And only a few understand the whole essence of Sony's philosophy.
They don't pay for clock speeds and RAM, but for unrivaled quality. And no one makes smartphones better than Sony. Once upon a time there was Apple, but now it has gone downhill. Samsung is also not doing well with quality. But at Sony everything is as usual: at the highest level. So let's look at one of the company's most affordable devices - Sony Xperia L1. The characteristics of the model are traditional for budget devices produced by Sony. Let's start with the design.
Appearance of the device
In smartphones from Sony, great attention was paid to design. This is what happened with this model. Although the smartphone is made of plastic, the material is of very high quality. And this is precisely the first advantage of the Xperia L1. Characteristics for many are not as important as tactile sensations.
The device is made in the classic monoblock form factor. Almost the entire front panel is occupied by the screen. It is covered with Corning protective glass. There are no buttons under the screen. They are located on the display itself. Above it there is a speaker for conversations, a front photo module and light and proximity sensors. Traditionally, the body of the device has sharp corners, which can be inconvenient when carrying the gadget in a jeans pocket. But these are minor things.
On the back panel there is a camera eye, and immediately below it is a flash. Just below there is an icon that indicates that the smartphone has NFC chip. And below this icon you can find an image of the model’s logo. At the bottom there is a charging socket, a 3.5 jack for headphones, a speaker and a microphone.
At the top end there is only a power button. The volume is adjusted using mechanical buttons on the right side of the device. In principle, this arrangement is standard for all Sony products. The Xperia L1 is no exception. Specifications hardware platform is the next part of our material.
Hardware performance
What will please you with the filling of such a device as the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone? The characteristics of the hardware platform are as follows. The processor is quad-core, 64-bit, clocked at 1.45 GHz. The RAM capacity is only 2 GB, which means that games are prohibited for this smartphone. Unless some are particularly “heavy”.
The graphics part is represented by the Mali T720 MP2 chip. This coprocessor can handle OpenGL and DirectX. Overall, the smartphone works quickly and clearly. There are no lags and it doesn't lag. But devices from Sony never have them. The manufacturer has always been famous for its good optimization of the operating system and hardware of smartphones.
Hardware capabilities
Volume internal storage is 16 GB. But only 10 are available to the user. There is no need to be upset, since you can easily add space using a MicroSD memory card up to 256 GB. This is a serious help.
The device easily works with mobile networks LTE Cat 6, has a Wi-Fi transmitter operating at 5 gigahertz, Bluetooth 4.2, an NFC chip, a huge number of sensors and a fast GPS module. All this suggests that this is a completely modern smartphone. This is its (general) meaning that it is extremely difficult to classify it as a budget device. Rather, it is a representative of mid-level smartphones. Now let's move on to the screen.
Display Specifications
What screen does the Xperia L1 have? The characteristics declared by the manufacturer are as follows: IPS panel measuring 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (HD). This is quite good for a budget device. Go ahead. The screen is covered with protective glass, which has an anti-reflective coating. This means that you won’t be able to use your smartphone as a mirror.
Grease-repellent allows your finger to slide freely across the touchscreen and prevents fingerprints from quickly appearing on the surface. This is also quite good. The maximum screen brightness is quite high. This means that using the gadget outdoors on a sunny day will be very comfortable. The information will remain readable.
But the greatest merit of Sony engineers is that the color rendition of the display is close to real. The colors are bright, saturated, but not overloaded (as is often the case in AMOLED matrices).
Viewing angles are also decent. The image is almost not distorted when the gadget is tilted in any direction. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the screen does not support working with gloves. This would be very helpful. But let's not forget that this is a budget device model. The screen is already quite good. This is exactly what is installed in many mid-price smartphones. Now let's look at the camera of the device.
Photomodules (front and main)
Now let's look at the main camera of the Sony Xperia L1 G3312. Its characteristics are not particularly outstanding, but it is important to remember that Sony cameras usually shoot much better than what the manufacturer claims. So, the main camera is a 13-megapixel module with a 2.2 aperture. There is autofocus and a single-color flash.
This module provides excellent photo quality. This is largely due to the company's Clear Image technology. It also provides adequate digital zoom. No pixelation. The 13-megapixel module does an excellent job with portraits. He is also good at macro photography. The drop in image quality is noticeable only in the dark. But this is the problem with all budget smartphones. The photo module can also record Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second.
The front camera is represented by a 5 megapixel sensor with an aperture of 2.2 and a focal length of 26 mm. The photos come out quite high quality. For selfie lovers, this camera will come in handy. You can also use it to communicate with friends via Skype or some other application. The camera's features include touch autofocus and smile detection. As soon as the camera “sees” a smile, it immediately starts filming. A very useful option. Now let’s look at the reviews from the owners of this device.
Sony Xperia L1 is an affordable smartphone with a 5.5-inch screen, a fast quad-core processor and a proprietary 13 megapixel camera. It is the combination of high performance and low cost that is emphasized in this popular gadget.
Design and ergonomics
The smartphone has a recognizable and in many ways unique appearance. Strict lines, sharp corners, small roundings at the ends - this is the signature Loop Surface design, which is complemented by thin screen frames. A minimum of details and a maximum of practicality, due to which the smartphone feels very comfortable in the palm of your hand.
The rectangular form factor is complemented by a solid feel. The body is made of pleasant-to-touch plastic and is assembled without gaps or backlash; each component of the shell fits tightly together.
Screen
The 5.5-inch IPS screen has a resolution of 1280 x 720, a pixel density of 267 ppi and an effective oleophobic coating. Moreover, among all the budget gadgets that you can buy in our online store, the Sony Xperia L1 stands out for its truly excellent image quality and wide viewing angles. There are also several advanced features here, such as color temperature adjustment.
Performance
The smartphone will impress with the speed of the 4-core MediaTek MT6737T chipset with 2 GB of RAM. Impressive information processing performance is due to support for pure Android 7.0 Nougat OS and HD screen resolution, which puts little strain on the hardware.
The 16 GB built-in memory can easily be overclocked to 256 GB using a memory card. Despite its budget, Sony Xperia L1 supports wireless interfaces, including Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, GPS and GLONASS.
Cameras
Even in affordable smartphone models, Sony tries to install high-quality photo modules, fortunately they produce them themselves. Therefore, the Sony Xperia L1 will delight you with excellent pictures taken with a 13-megapixel camera with autofocus and a wide-angle 5-megapixel front camera.
Battery life
Thanks to Qnovo's proprietary battery optimization technology and STAMINA energy saving mode, the smartphone's modest 2620 mAh battery shows impressive results for an inexpensive model. At maximum load, the charge indicator will flash red alarmingly only after 7–8 hours of use. A standard load in the form of alternately switching on wireless modules, accessing the Internet and watching videos will drain the battery no earlier than after 12 hours.
Review of the main characteristics of the budget Sony Xperia L1 - appearance, screen, hardware, features software, autonomy, pros and cons, price.
Sony Corporation regularly tries not only to update its flagship products, but also pays attention to the budget line. At the end of March, at the MWC 2017 exhibition, the Sony Xperia L1 was presented, the review of which is devoted to this material. The Japanese offered buyers a good price-quality combination with average capabilities, a recognizable design, two good cameras and the new Android 7.0 Nougat OS.
Design and delivery kit of the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone
The buyer has a choice from three options colors in which the new product is made:
- a strict, black gadget will emphasize the seriousness and business acumen of the owner;
- white - suitable for charming business women and those who love more delicate classics;
- pink Sony Xperia L1 will be a real find for girls who know a lot about fashion and style.
- height - 151 mm;
- width - 74 mm;
- thickness - 8.7 mm;
- weight - 180 grams.
On the front panel, around the screen, the side frames are small and unnoticeable, but the top and bottom ones catch the eye and amaze with their hugeness. At the top, above the display, are located:
- logo;
- proximity and light sensor;
- front-camera;
- speaker
Only the cover with the SIM and MicroSD tray was moved to the left side. The tray of the new Sony Xperia L1 Dual is designed for 2 nano-format SIM cards. At the bottom end there is a slot for an external speaker, USB Type-C input and speaking microphone. On the top there is a standard (3.5 mm) headphone jack and an additional microphone. On the back panel in the middle we see the name of the series, and in the upper right corner there is a small camera module and a flash below it. Nothing extra, everything is simple and tasteful. On the negative side, a number of users have already noted in their reviews a feeling of general sloppiness in the assembly.
The device arrives to the buyer in a white cardboard box with the name of the series and the manufacturing company, which, in addition to the smartphone, contains:
- Charger;
- USB Type-C cable;
- all necessary paper documentation (warranty and user instructions).
Sony Xperia L1 display
As for a budget model, the screen in this case is really good. Its main parameters are as follows:
- diagonal is 5.5 inches;
- HD resolution - 1280x720 pixels.
- Brightness reserve - 383.012 cd/m2
- Black field - 0.64 cd/m2
- Contrast - 598:1
- Color temperature 7000–8000K
Sony Xperia L1 - Performance Specifications
The heart of the gadget is the 64-bit MediaTek MT6737T processor. It has four ARM Cortex-A53 cores, each clocked at 1.45 GHz. A dual-core Mali-T720 MP2 graphics accelerator is also built in, the maximum frequency of which is 600 MHz. On simple games this is enough, but the Sony Xperia L1 will not run modern resource-intensive applications, and even if it does run it, it will be slow game process obviously won't give you any pleasure.
As for memory, everything is also very unimpressive:
- 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM.
- 16 GB ROM (about 10 GB data storage available). Of course, it’s enough for a small number of photos and music, but you can’t count on more.
Camera and sound in the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone
The device contains two photomodules:
- Basic at 13 MP. It has an f/2.2 aperture, autofocus and a single LED flash. The module can shoot video in FullHD resolution, 30 fps. ISO 3200. There is a 3x Clear Image zoom.
- Frontal. Five megapixel wide-angle selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture and 24mm equivalent focal length.
The sound of the product is quite pleasant without noise and distortion, in headphones and wireless headset everything can be heard well. There is a branded Clear Audio+ and FM tuner, stereo recording is possible. The following audio formats are supported: LPCM, FLAC, ALAC, DSD.
Interface and software of the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone
The new Android 7.0 Nougat OS with periodic updates on which the device runs is an absolute plus of the Sony Xperia L1. The shell contains some additional applications from the manufacturer. A separate application menu with a list of recommendations, various sorting and search looks good. It is possible to edit standard switches and the notification panel. Supported various topics for registration appearance desktop, folders and widgets.
Autonomy Sony Xperia L1
The Li-Ion battery, non-removable, with a capacity of only 2620 mAh in standard, not too loaded mode, allows you to use the device for about a day. But when running something more serious, games, videos or constant Internet surfing, the new product will last barely half a day, despite the proprietary STAMINA power saving mode.
Among the interesting additions, I would like to highlight the Qnovo adaptive charging support technology; according to the manufacturers, it will prevent premature battery wear.

- minimalist and nice classic design;
- convenient design, all the keys are at hand, and the phone itself is pleasant and comfortable to hold;
- relevant new version Android with regular updates and a convenient shell;
- separate slots for memory card and SIM;
- a good main camera that allows you to do beautiful photos and shoot a good video;
- affordable price;
- decent display calibration.
- low productivity, which is not surprising for a public sector employee of this level;
- not too much good quality assembly, it seems that the model was assembled somehow carelessly and all the parts do not fit perfectly.
Sony Xperia L1 Dual - price and video review
Considering all the characteristics, the new operating system, the familiar and attractive appearance, as well as the pricing policy, the device will undoubtedly find its buyer. Time will tell how good he will be at his job. At the time of review, the Sony Xperia L1 and the Sony Xperia L1 Dual version had already gone on sale and were enjoying considerable popularity, as stated by analysts from the manufacturer.
The price of Sony Xperia L1 in Russia is 12,500 rubles. As for the Sony Xperia L1 Dual, the price of this model is slightly higher - 14,490 rubles.
For more details and details about the new product, watch the video review:
Sony produces a lot of smartphones, but most of them are lost on the market and only a few models are truly interesting. Today we will get acquainted with the Sony Xperia L1 and find out whether this smartphone is worth your attention.
Appearance
What cannot be taken away from Sony devices is their original appearance - their rough, angular design is always recognizable.
Sony Xperia L1 is available in three colors - black, white and pink.
When you pick up the device for the first time, you immediately feel relatively big sizes body, although the screen does not seem huge. The reason for this is that there is too much space above the screen. It is not clear why this was done, but the smartphone feels too elongated.
The display itself is slightly recessed inside. Above it is the earpiece, front camera, sensors, LED and manufacturer's logo.
It’s good that this time the mechanical keys on the right side of the case are located at a convenient height, and not moved down, as was previously the case. On the opposite side of them there is a tray, behind which there is a compartment for a memory card and two SIM cards in nanoSIM format. You can use two SIM cards and a memory card at the same time.
At the bottom end there is a USB Type-C port, a multimedia speaker and a main microphone. On the top there is a 3.5 mm audio jack and an additional microphone.
The main camera lens protrudes slightly above the plane of the rear panel. The back cover and sides have a pleasant soft-touch texture.
The thickness of the Sony Xperia L1 is 8.7 mm, so you might get the impression that there is a capacious battery inside, but no - its capacity is only 2620 mAh.
There are some complaints about the build quality; the back cover bends and creaks a little. Despite the fact that it is not removable, it has joints into which dust easily gets clogged. The compartment behind which the SIM cards and memory card are located can also creak. When you lightly press the center of the screen, streaks appear on it, as if it had been squeezed hard.
Display
The diagonal IPS screen of the Sony Xperia L1 is 5.5 inches and the resolution is HD. There is an oleophobic coating. During testing, I handled the phone carefully, but small scratches still appeared on the screen.
Brightness varies from 4.5 to 382 cd/m². The contrast is 1 in 625.
The color gamut does not match the sRGB triangle, the temperature is much higher than the reference, so the picture looks cooler than necessary. Subjectively, the screen is normal for an inexpensive phone, but nothing more.
Those who like to customize color rendering themselves will appreciate the ability to make adjustments using three sliders. In practice, it was not possible to make a “candy” out of the screen.
I didn’t like that the image fades greatly under direct sunlight - the lack of brightness and the display’s contrast are not the best.
Hardware platform
Sony Xperia L1 is equipped with a quad-core MT6737T processor. The chip is made using a 28 nm process technology and can operate at frequencies up to 1.5 GHz. Video core - Mali-T720 MP2.
The amount of RAM is 2 GB, and the built-in memory is 16 GB, expandable up to 256 GB using microSD memory cards. After the first power-up, only about 9 GB is available to the user.
The test results indicate the processor's budget. Benchmark scores are low. The smartphone is not suitable for modern games and has problems with overheating. While updating applications, I felt strong heating in the area of the main camera lens.
The quality of the speaker and microphone deserve high praise. There are no complaints about working on a 3G and Wi-Fi network.
Sony Xperia L1 runs Android 7.0 with a proprietary shell. The interface looks the same as on previous Sony models.
The smartphone works slowly and periodically froze during testing. It even happened that the user interface stopped working. Such work is unacceptable for a new device.
Autonomy
The capacity of the built-in battery is only 2620 mAh, which is not serious by modern standards, but do not forget that a weak processor is installed here.
In practice, with moderate use, the device can work for 2 days with an active screen time of 7 hours.
In the PCMark test at a brightness of 200 cd/m², the operating time was 6 hours 13 minutes. Considering that the smartphone discharges predictably and linearly, the autonomy indicator is not bad. The included power supply charges the device in 2 hours 45 minutes, which is a long time by modern standards.
Cameras
The main camera is a 13 megapixel module with f/2.2 aperture. Maximum ISO 3200. Interface standard application The “camera” looks similar to other Sony smartphones. There is a manual mode and HDR.
The first thing I want to say is that photos are saved for a very long time, especially in HDR mode. Unfortunately, almost all photos taken on the Sony Xperia L1 in HDR mode have an excess of green color. There are also focusing problems. Despite this, if you try, the smartphone can take a good shot.
Front - 5 MP module with wide angle and f/2.2 aperture.
Sony Xperia L1: characteristics of the new budget phone. In our Sony Xperia L1 review, we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the smartphone and evaluate its overall potential.
Sony has introduced another new product - the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone. The characteristics are not amazing, but the smartphone is also positioned as a representative of the budget segment for fans big phones. Without unnecessary ambitions. No claims to be related to the flagships. Success in the market will largely depend on the price of the Sony Xperia L1, which has not yet been announced.
Sony Xperia L1: specifications
Traditionally, Five-Inches represents the key Sony specifications Xperia L1 in one table. In order to make the material as useful and informative as possible, we suggest you immediately compare the characteristics of the Sony Xperia L1 with the specifications of the representative of the mid-price segment, the Sony Xperia XA1, which was presented at MWC-2017.

Sony Xperia L1 Review: Editor's Notes
In our Sony Xperia L1 review, we'll go over the main characteristics so that the reader who is considering purchasing a smartphone gets a general idea of its potential. We will not deliberately look for shortcomings. The model is aimed at the budget segment, and it should not be assessed too strictly.
Chipset. Sony Xperia L1 platform - MediaTek MT6737T. In this regard, the characteristics of the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone are disappointing even with a “budget” discount. The chipset is not the fastest in the budget segment, and it is manufactured using a 28 nm process technology, which increases battery consumption and heat in demanding applications.
Core clock speeds reduced to 1.45 GHz; this smooths out the rough edges and allows for slightly improved autonomy. At least, if you don’t watch HD video on a screen with the same resolution for hours.
The cores are built according to the Harvard architecture. Reference, "standard" ARM cores Cortex 53 optimized for maximum energy efficiency. Their main task is to ensure optimal application speed with minimal battery consumption, and this should add a couple of points in the battery life rating.
Graphics accelerator. Continues Sony review Xperia L1 graphics subsystem. Dual-core adapter Mali-T720MP2 does not allow you to count on high fps in games. The Sony Xperia L1 will be able to run simple games, but it will hardly be possible to play modern games comfortably. And not only because of the weak potential of the central processor and graphics subsystem.
RAM. The speed of games also depends on the amount of RAM. There is very little of it in the Sony Xperia L1 - just 2 GB. We wrote about. By conservative estimates, about 3 GB. If the memory is of the LPDDR3 type (as in the Sony Xperia L1), then 4 GB is better. Two gigabytes is enough to run several applications, but not too heavy ones. Otherwise, crashes and lags are almost inevitable.
Inner memory. Internal memory capacity 16 GB. Any comments are unnecessary. Enough to store a small collection of music tracks and photos, nothing more. On the other hand, there is a microSD slot that supports memory cards up to 256 GB, which solves the problem of lack of free disk space.
Sony Xperia L1: display and battery specifications
Sony Xperia L1 received a large display with resolution 1280 x 720 pixels. When diagonal 5.5
inches we get a pixel density of around 267 ppi. Not much. The usable screen area is 74.6% of the front panel area, which is generally not bad. Matrix type - IPS LCD. A standard choice for a Japanese manufacturer; no one really counted on Amoled.
But the battery let us down - 2620 mAh. Not enough. It is difficult to count on high autonomy, especially on the 28 nm platform. With standard use, the smartphone will last for one day of light. Economical Cortex 53 cores at low operating frequencies partially compensate for the lack of battery capacity, but only partially.
If autonomy is a priority, 2620 mAh is a serious reason to think about it. (However, the battery is even weaker - 2300 mAh.) Of interest, we note the Sony Xperia L1's support for Qnovo adaptive charging technology, which prevents premature battery wear.
Camera
Super slow-mo, as in the concept, is, of course, not here. There is also no modern Exmor RS sensor. Camera module resolution 13 MP, f/2.2 aperture. You can count on normal picture quality in good lighting. In poor lighting, noise will appear and detail will drop sharply.
Front camera on 5 MP. On the one hand, today this is literally the lower limit of the norm. On the other hand, even the newest one has a 5 megapixel front camera. Whether it's enough or not, decide for yourself.
Android, interface, wireless technologies
operating system. Sony Xperia L1 will be controlled operating system Android 7.0 Nougat, covered with branded user interface from Sony.
Modem. Wireless communication provides an LTE Cat.4 modem. Download speed is limited to 150 Mbit/s, data transfer speed is limited to 50 Mbit/s.
Interface. From Sony benefits Xperia L1 note the interface USB Type-C. Not all representatives of the budget and mid-price segment have switched to the new interface. For example, they continue to remain faithful to microUSB, which is quite strange, considering the cost of smartphones (especially).
Sony Xperia L1: design, dimensions, colors
The design of the Sony Xperia L1 differs little from what the Japanese have long accustomed us to. A strict plastic rectangle with clear contours, without a hint of smoothness or fluidity of lines. The side frames are small, but the bottom and top ones are simply huge by modern standards. Why Sony continues to make such giant frames remains a mystery.
Case dimensions 151 x 74 x 8.7 mm. The Sony Xperia L1 smartphone cannot be called thin, nor light - it weighs 180 grams. The color scheme is typical for state employees - black, white and, for variety, pink.
Sony Xperia L1: release date and price
The release date of Sony Xperia L1 is scheduled for the second half of April. They plan to present the smartphone in many markets, including European ones, so we are waiting for it in stores in the CIS countries.
The price of the Sony Xperia L1 has not yet been specified, and this is the main intrigue. Will the Japanese be able to offer a competitive and attractive price? If not, the Sony Xperia L1 smartphone will gather dust on shelves and warehouses next to the Xperia XZ and other brand models with not the happiest market fate.
