But at maximum brightness levels, the phone disappoints. The Xperia neo L comes with a 4-inch LED-backlit capacitive touch display. Overall, the neo L does have an attractive design but certain improvements would have been welcome. The back of the device houses a 5MP shooter with LED flash, adjacent to the grilled speakers.īeneath the skin, the Xperia neo L features a 1500mAh battery, a SIM card slot and a microSD card slot. The 3.5mm headphones jack finds room on the top while the Micro-USB port for charging and data transfer is located on the left. If you're holding the device in one hand, you find stretching your thumb quite a bit before you get to them, especially if you have small hands. The placement of both these buttons isn't convenient though. The power/wake button is placed on the right along with the volume rocker. One wonders if capacitive touch buttons would have been a better choice. The device features 4 physical buttons, that feel a bit too squeezed and difficult to operate. There's a silver strip that runs along the edges of the phone separating the front and the back. The screen is a fingerprint magnet as well.

The smartphone has a glossy finish, which makes the phone a rather slippery customer. The device comes in black and white colour options. The phone is bulky in its build but is solid. But this time round, the device has a 4-inch display that also makes it heavier at 131.5gms.

But do the modest specs of this smartphone guarantee a worthwhile user experience? We find out.Īs mentioned earlier, the neo L looks very similar to the Neo and Neo V in terms of design. A successor to the Neo V and inheriting much of its looks, the neo L is competing in the same category as the HTC One V and the LG Optimus 7.

Sony's latest addition to the Xperia stable comes in the form of the neo L.
