Arranged around the outside edge of the Xperia L3 handset are various options available to the user. Located at the top of the handset is a 3.5mm jack socket for attaching a set of earphones or headset. This connection supports active noise canceling...

Sony retires the brick designWith the Xperia L3, Sony delivers a smartphone with a good price-performance ratio. The built-in hardware is adequate for the price range, and the performance is sufficient for all the usual everyday tasks. The dual...

Still, while it might not be in the same league as its flagship counterparts, Sony's Xperia L3 offers the ideal blend of usability and asking price. It's a dangerous line to tread, and we've seen a long list of budget-priced phones falter in recent...

The Sony Xperia L3 is not interesting or dynamic, but it gets most of the basics...

By Stuff on March 22, 2019 60

The Sony Xperia L3 is a perfectly solid but unexciting phone. It's not as spangly or powerful as the Honor 10 Lite, and doesn't have as sharp a screen. Battery life, while fine, looks ordinary next to the Moto G7 Power. And if it's the price you care...

By TechRadar on March 20, 2019 60

The Sony Xperia L3 is a completely acceptable phone that deserves a completely acceptable score. It's not gratingly slow, the camera is not a complete embarrassment, the battery lasts a full day, and it can play most high-end games well enough.However,...

By GSMArena on June 11, 2019

While the Xperia 1 and Xperia 10 series were some very thoughtful additions to the whole Xperia family having instantly recognizable advantages over their competitors, the Xperia L3 doesn't have that luxury. It tries to copy a few cool features like the...

Sony announced a crop of new phones at MWC. Alongside the flagship Xperia 1 and mid-range Xperia 10 and 10 Plus is the Xperia L3, a solid cheaper smartphone option for 2019. We went hands-on with the Xperia L3 to see if it's good competition in the...

By GSMArena on February 25, 2019

On one hand, it's kind of hard to be too surprised about Sony's new device announcements, purely on the grounds of the avalanche of leaks that preceded the MWC keynote. Then again, many of said rumors turned out to be nothing more than smoke and...

International Review By connect.de on June 03, 2019 71

Bei den Messergebnissen gibt das Labor grünes Licht: So zieht das L3 aus seinem 3300-mAh-Akku 8,5 Stunden Laufzeit, die Funkeigenschaften sind bei allen Standards gut bis sehr gut und auch die Akustik stimmt. Am Ende steht ein für den Preis solides...

Das Xperia L3 ist das neue Einsteiger-Smartphone von Sony für UVP 199 Euro. Es ist damit um 50 Euro günstiger als der Vorgänger Xperia L2, wurde aber in fast allen Bereichen verbessert. Wir haben das L3 getestet.Das Xperia L3 wurde von Sony auf dem...

International Review By Les Numériques on April 12, 2019 60

On ne va pas y aller par quatre chemins: ce Sony Xperia L3 est peu recommandable. Tout juste moyen dans la majorité des tâches, il n'a que l'autonomie pour lui. Il ne peut pas rivaliser face au Xiaomi Redmi Note...

International Review By curved.de on March 19, 2019 68

Das Xperia L3 ist ein solides Smartphone, das für den alltäglichen Gebrauch den allermeisten Menschen vermutlich komplett reichen würde. Es bietet exakt das, was man von einem Einsteiger-Modell erwartet und trumpft mit einem vergleichsweise großen Akku...

International Review By top-for-phone.fr on September 14, 2019

Le Sony Xperia L3 est totalement à l'opposé du Sony Xperia 1.Si ce dernier se présente comme étant le smartphone le plus haut de gamme de l'offre du constructeur nippon, l'Xperia L3 est quant à lui le mobile le plus entrée de gamme, mais également le...
