Sony Xperia L1: Cheap middle class smartphone announced
Sony today
presented another Android smartphone novelty. The Xperia L1 is a 5.5 inch model
of the lower middle class. It will be available for just under 200 Euros (UVP).
However, the market launch of the mobile phone is only planned for the summer
of 2017.
Sony has
just announced a brand new Xperia smartphone today, just a few weeks after the
new developments of the Mobile World Congress 2017. The Xperia L1 is another medium-class
device from the Japanese manufacturer, which has a 5.5-inch display and is
delivered with discreetly adapted Android 7.0 nougat.
Sony Xperia L1 Specifications
The Xperia
L1 is to be classified with regard to its equipment in the lower third of the
current smartphone middle class. The new model is powered by a quad-core
processor of the type Mediatek MT6737T, which has 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16
gigabytes of flash memory (expandable up to 256 gigabytes via microSD card
slot). The 5.5 inch touchscreen offers only the HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
The battery has a capacity of 2600mAh.
On the
other hand, with the Xperia L1, the USB Type-C connection seems to be
progressively progressive, with the remaining technical data being able to feed
the device with media content or to supply it with power. The latter should be
done by using an adaptive charging technology as low as possible. For wireless
communication, the Smartphone supports WLAN, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 and LTE Cat. 4.
As the
equipment highlight of the Xperia L1 could be the main camera on the back - at
least in relation to the targeted price class. This has a 13 megapixel sensor
with f / 2.2 apertures. The Selfie Cam on the front provides a 5 megapixel
sensor. The adapted Android 7.0 nougat brings the features familiar to the
manufacturer.
Sony
intends to sell the Xperia L1 in Germany and Europe from summer 2017 for 199
euros. The company has already launched a suitable English-language
product website. When the smartphone is available, customers will be able to
choose between the color variants black, white and - apparently only in some
markets - pink.
