The competition for smartphones with a lower budget is a long way from a walk in the park. With the number of devices and new OEMs also being launched in South Africa, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the average consumer to choose the best option for them. For most, a suitable camera is sufficient, combined with a decent price. However, if you consider the number of challengers and cheats in the leading OEM offerings, pricing seems misleading to offer the world to customers and to deliver little. Sony has had a fair share of budget and mid-range smartphones on the market over the years, and with the Sony XPERIA L2, the company wants to regain momentum in this segment.
Construction and Design:
Sony's low-budget and midrange smartphones have always had a spin-off design from the omni-balance approach of their flagship devices. The XPERIA L2 follows this trend, although Sony has introduced its new flagship product line with a new design approach. The device has right-angled corners and large bezels at the front. The device is heavily loaded with plastic, with a thickness of 9.8 mm and a much higher weight than the average of its competitors. At 178 g, the L2 is definitely quite heavy, making it the category of a Phablet and not an average-smart phone, even at its price. To put it in perspective, the L2 weighs just as much as the Samsung Galaxy S9 + and the rich metal and glass Apple iPhone X. And that's the only time you can compare the L2 to such a high End flagship will be finding devices.
The L2 has a relatively large bezel, both at the top and bottom of the front. The upper bezel accommodates the Sony logo as well as the front camera and other sensors. The bottom, however, does not provide such supplements and is simply a large and unused space. On the right side of the device is the power switch in the middle, with the volume rocker just above it. These keys are widely spaced and easily accessible with the thumb, making them easy to hold and operate with one hand. On the upper left side of the device is the SIM and Micro SD card slot, which you can open with your fingernail. On the top you will find a 3.5 mm auxiliary jack with a micro USB charging port and a speaker opening at the bottom of the device. On the back there is a fingerprint sensor underneath the camera.
Screen and Display:
Compared to most competitors, the 5.5-inch L2 has one of the larger screens available on the market. Only a handful of others try to grow up. The reason is that there will always be a compromise when it comes to larger screens, without being able to support them with a suitable resolution, preferably 1080p and more. The L2 offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels with a pixel density of 267 ppi. As already mentioned, the screen has a screen-to-body ratio of 71.3% due to the large apertures. While the 720p resolution is comparable to the 5-inch competition, pixel formation at the larger L2 level is barely noticeable. This is cheap for the Sony device.
The IPS panel is protected with Gorilla Glass 4 and offers good color rendering. However, in terms of overall brightness, it suffers from something that is bad, especially in direct sunlight. The light sensor is also quite slow to set, something I have not found on most modern smartphones, which is a mystery why this is the case with the L2. If you adjust the brightness to the full setting, the problems will not be significantly mitigated, as most will persist. With the brightness setting in this case, it is even more important that the auto-fit function works optimally, but this is not the case.
Performance and battery life:
When it comes to the performance rating of the XPERIA L2, there is much to note. First, there are the comparisons to its predecessor. These results in the difference in benchmark tests for single- and multi-core services compared to its competitors. Let's first confirm the specifications of the hardware: The L2 has a MediaTek MT6737T chipset that has a 1.5GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and uses a Mali-T720MP2 in addition to 3GB of RAM. Compared to last year's version, the L2 offers a slightly updated variant of the chipset, which costs 0.05 GHz more per core. The "T" at the end of the chipset number plays an important role as it means the overclocked version, which gives better overall results than the non-overclocked version. It also added an extra gigabyte of RAM over the L1. The final results indicate a significant improvement between the two benchmark tests, but it is still clear whether switching from L1 to L2 is worthwhile, just in terms of performance.
