  • Sony has a plan and is sticking to it. Not a piece of tactical genius either but one that seems to work for it. A couple of phones did well for Sony in the midrange last year and the right touches here and there was all they needed to be highly competitiv...

  • Abstract:  The Sony Xperia L has a precision engineered feature mix, making it a true successor to last year's Xperia U. It covers all bases, compromising only on stuff that isn't essential to the user experience, while at the same time, retaining the attractive price tag...

  • Good performance, Great hardware design, Above average camera
  • Small display, Low inbuilt memory and no expansion slot, Still running Android 2.3 Gingerbread,
  • The Xperia U handily surpasses its competition but has some shortcomings due to which we can’t give it full marks. The 3.5″ display is particularly small and the 16:9 ratio of the screen makes it hard to type. If you can deal with that, the display qua...

  • Great design, Impressive sound quality, Snappy UI.
  • Only 4 GB of storage space, Mediocre video recording, Limited viewing angles
  • The Xperia U's 1320 mAh battery manages to keep the device running for almost 5 hours, under heavy use. With normal use, expect it to last for around 10 hours. The handset has an impressive design, snappy UI, and great sound quality. On the other hand, S...
