Hey guys and girls it's me JoshyTek, I'm so excited to bring you an unboxing and full
review of the Sony Xperia L1.
Before I get into the video, I'm in no means getting paid for this amazing content I'm
making for you and also if you're going ask down in the comments about if the L1 is better
than the J3 or any other phone, I won't be able to answer those questions just because
I'm a small channel and it's extremely hard to get noticed in this big wide world and
I can't therefore just go and buy those phones.
If I got asked to review those phone's, then I will be able to answer your questions but
since I'm a small channel, I won't be able to so please appreciate my situation.
So to begin with, the box the phone comes in is very stylish and it clearly indicates
the new line of the Xperia X series, it's a very minimal box which doesn't overload
you with too much information.
Flipping the box over, it gives you some information such as the camera, display screen size, and
much more which I'll explain later on in this video.
The box opens very neatly, and you will straight away see the phone displayed is right in front
of you.
Before I talk about the phone, the device comes with a quick start guide which guides
you through the setup process of the phone, alongside a USB Type C cable, wall charger,
and earphones.
So at this price point you are definitely getting a complete package in terms of what
is inside the packaging.
Moving onto the phone itself, if you're used to high end flagships like a glass or a metal
design, you're going to be a bit disappointed here.
The whole design is made out of plastic, now considering this is a budget phone, you're
obviously going to expect this type of experience.
One thing I noticed was that the middle of the back of the phone is very weak and it
moves a bit with only a bit of pressure, so quiet disappointed by the build quality.
What's even worse is that if you accidentally scratch the back, you will be left with a
permanent mark there until you wipe it off.
I would've expected soft touch material but you can obviously slap a case onto this phone
and you will easily forget about it, however the plastic is reinforced all over the side
bezels of the device which makes it a bit sturdy to hold.
In terms of features, it comes equipped with a 3.5 millimetre headphone jack on the top
next to a microphone, you also get a flap which can be opened to reveal the SIM card
and there is also of course an expandable memory slot where a micro SD card can be placed
to expand its 16 gigabytes of internal storage.
On the right side you do get the power and volume buttons which I do now think Sony has
finally mastered a comfortable position for them.
On the bottom, you do get an extra microphone, a single mono loudspeaker and surprisingly
a USB Type C port which is great as you can connect the charger cable in any direction
alongside some faster read and write speeds if you're going to be doing some file transfers.
I'm glad Sony has implemented this feature onto the L1 because we don't normally see
USB Type C on budget devices, normally high end phones offer this feature so hats off
to Sony for adding that.
On the back, you do get Near Fielding Communication as it's clearly indicated above the Xperia
logo, which allows you to connect to Bluetooth devices such as a Bluetooth speaker using
NFC.
And on the front you can see the Sony Logo alongside the adaptive brightness sensor and
it's front facing camera which I will explain later.
You also get a notification light placed on the very top left which will activate whenever
you receive a notification or when you charge it.
There is also an earpiece where you can hear the recipient during a phone call.
Powering on the device you will be displayed by a 5.5 inch 720p display, now a lot of you
might be disappointed by a 720p display in 2017 but considering this is a budget device,
it's expected at this price point.
However, I'm quite impressed by the colour reproduction that this display punches out
considering it's an IPS display and like I mentioned before, I feel that 5.5 inches is
a perfect display size for playing games, watching movies or YouTube videos.
For the performance, you're getting the Mediatek MT6737T.
If you don't know what Mediatek CPU's are, they're below snapdragon CPU's and they're
much more cheaper to make and manufacture.
This is a quad core CPU and all of the cores can be clocked upto 1.4Ghz.
Also the CPU runs on the ARM Cortex A53 CPU Architecture which means the cpu is not on
the 64 bit architecture, so that may put you off because the new pixel and nexus devices
run on the 64 bit architecture so if you're trying to get system apps from those devices
such as the google camera app, you won't be able to just because of different CPU architectures.
If you have a bit of knowledge on CPU's, you will know that on this phone, 1.4Ghz is
not really fast, but to be honest, considering the phone is rendering everything at 720p
and there is less pixels to push around, the day to day performance is alright and zippy
for a phone at this price.
And as a bonus, you do get 2GB of RAM so you will be able to cache some applications in
the background, however there is other competitors out there for a little less like the Moto
e4plus which comes with with 3GB of RAM, A fingerprint scanner and a 5400mAh battery,
by the way if you're wondering, I haven't tried the Moto e4plus.
On the other hand, if you're a gamer and want to do some gaming, the phone comes with the
MaliT720MP2, I will do a separate gaming video on this phone in the future, so be sure to
be subscribed if you want to see that.
For the camera and video performance, the phone comes with a 13MP camera, however it's
downscaled to 10MP for widescreen.
The phone comes with a manual mode which you can change the ISO, White balance, Shutter
speed, exposure and even focusing, however one thing you cannot change is the lens aperture.
One thing a lot of Sony fans might miss is the shutter button which is not on this phone.
My older M2 had a shutter button which was great as I could easily open up the camera
app just by holding down on that button to capture a moment, so it's kind of a shame
it's not on the Xperia L1.
For the software, the phones running on Android 7.0 Nougat.
The software experience is pretty stock vanilla android experience with some additions such
as some preinstalled applications like Facebook, Spotify, Xperia lounge and some other system
based apps like album, music, video, what's new which those I mentioned cannot be uninstalled.
What is quite sad is that half of the 16 gigabytes of storage is taken up by the OS.
The phone does come with a smart cleaner which can clean junk and optimise the phone's storage,
you also get what Sony call smart backlight control which automatically keeps the phone's
screen on when looking at a photograph and not touching the screen on the phone.
If you're a software person and want to have Android Oreo on your phone for some reason,
I checked Sony's page and the L1 is not listed to get Oreo which is strange because
it is a 2017 device and you would expect support for at least 2 years with this device so that
a bit strange.
By the way, this phone is a pain to unlock the bootloader, so I would recommend getting
a Motorola Device as they're ten times easier than Sony devices to do that.
The battery on L1 is a 2620mAh battery.
It depends on how you use the phone but I can normally get around about 1 to 2 hours
of screen on time which in 2017 is kind of poor, however you can always use Sony's
stamina modes if you want to squeeze more power out of the phone.
Call quality is completely fine with this phone, I was easily able to hear the recipient
on the other end of the line, however the speakerphone is a little quiet when there
is a lot of background noise.
For the photographs, I did capture some of the NEC motorcycle show and I can say that
in decent light, the photographs come out great, by the way if you're wondering, this
was all shot in auto mode.
In lower light conditions the photographs quickly become grainy and distorted, if you
throw in the flash it doesn't really make much of a difference to the photograph.
The back camera should be fine for a quick photo but if you're into photography, I would
recommend using a DSLR.
Looking at the front camera, is a 5MP shooter but in widescreen it's downgraded to 3MP.
If you're a selfie person, I'm sorry but you're not going to be getting brilliant selfies
here, they become really soft and there is not much sharpness involved, but if you're
going to post a quick selfie in decent light on social media then this can kind of do the
job for that.
The phone can record at full HD at both front and back cameras.
In my opinion, full HD is fine for today's standards however, if you're going to be viewing
your videos on the phone, you're going to be missing quality as
it's a 720p display.
One thing I noticed and I don't know if it's just a bug in the software or is just a safety
feature, but when you use the camera shortcut from the lockscreen and after having the camera
open for 1 or 2 minutes, the camera app just closes and returns to its lockscreen.
Maybe some of you Sony users can tell me down in the comments what it is but I probably
think it's a safety feature as the phone doesn't tell me that the camera has stopped.
All in all, comparing the L1 to my older M2, I feel that Sony hasn't really innovated much
in the past few years, everything seems to be in the same place and Sony still use that
squarish design on their handsets, I do like the addition of the USB Type C on the L1,
a few gripes I can only say is that the plastic build quality puts me off and the single mono
speaker can easily be blocked when watching videos and with other budget handsets having
fingerprint scanners, I wouldn't completely recommend this phone to you.
Yes it gets everyday tasks done fine but however, there is much better options out there to
choose from that give you more phone for your money, but however if you just want a phone
that works and gets the job done in a day to day basis, then I would recommend this
phone for you.
So I hope you you enjoyed my review of the Sony Xperia L1, I will be making a gaming
performance video on this phone later on in the future so stay subscribed to see that,
also if you own the L1, let me know about how your experience is with it, I'll be interested
to hear you thoughts, but apart from that, I will see you in next week's video and um
yeah goodbye.
