Sony Xperia Neo L is an
Android enabled Smartphone that provides true entertainment on the first go. The
phone is giving neck to neck competition to HTC One V and LG Optimus 7.
Here are some of the scintillating
features of the product
Pros
- It scores well in terms of look and design.
- It runs on latest operating System
- The phone comes with long battery life.
Cons
- It has very limited codec support.
- It does not have FM radio.
- It suffers from the problem of proximity sensors
Hardware/Design-
The Smartphone seems to have been built on the similar lines of thought as Neo
and Neo V. It has 4 inch display and it weighs 131.5 gm. The phone is not
feather light. It comes in two shades black and white.
It has 4 physical
buttons that is bit difficult to operate. It would have been better if there
was capacitive touch screen interface.
Another downfall of
this product is the placement of power/wake button that is situated right along
with volume rocker.
It has 3.5mm headphone
with microUSB connectivity for data transfer.
In the nutshell, Sony Xperia Neo L does have attractive
design but there is always a room for improvement.
Display-
This Smartphone boasts of large 4″ FWVGA display. It has curved back and glossy finish
and Sony’s xLoud™ audio technology
The let down of is this
phone is, it doesn’t work optimally at the maximum brightness level. Even you
are unable to view screen elements in the broad daylight. Its competitors like
HTC One V and Optimus L7 produces crisp images.
Software-
The Smartphone runs on Android 4.0 Icecream Sandwich and it features Timescape UI
with which you can manage your social networks easily.
The apps can be
arranged according to your whims and wishes like alphabetical, most used,
recently installed and own order.
The recently added
feature Overview provides you pinch to zoom functionality. The mediascape
widget has died the slow death but the standard gallery is still there.
It features 1GHz
processor and 512 MB RAM. The user interface works smooth most of the times.
Camera-
It features 5 megapixels rear camera and the outdoor images are crisp and
sharp. The major downfall of the camera is the option of zoom and auto focus
doesn’t work well.
Battery/Performance- It has 1500mAH long lasting battery that provides
talktime of eight hours and standby time of 575 hours. If you are an average
Joe who like to surf internet on moderate basis or likes to listen music then
don’t worry the battery can last for the whole day.
Verdict-
It is a right blend of beauty and brains. Fast and smooth user interface backed
with good battery life and ICS on board.
But it has its own set
of flaws like the phone doesn’t score well with respect to camera and if Sony has
added feature of Playstation the phone must have become better.
Price- Rs 18,000(approx)
