Editorial report

Sony Xperia L3 technical sheet

The Sony Xperia L3 is suited to basic everyday use, but its 3,300 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. That is the main compromise in a straightforward phone with a compact display and optical image stabilization on its camera.

Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD has a 720 × 1440 px resolution and 282 ppi density, below average for phones of its time. Gorilla Glass 5 covers the display, and at 156 g the phone weighs less than most contemporaries. The 13 MP rear camera includes optical image stabilization. The camera overall is above average, although its 1/3-inch sensor is smaller than most and its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time.

The MediaTek Helio P22, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage put performance below average. A card can expand storage by up to 512 GB. Connectivity is above average, with NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and single- or dual-Nano-SIM options. It runs Android 8.

With a NeoScore of 3.6, the Xperia L3 is a basic option for someone who values a light phone and a camera with optical stabilization, and can accept modest battery capacity and limited performance.
