Sony Xperia SL

SONY XPERIA SL REVIEW

The Sony Xperia SL might not tempt anyone already owning the Xperia S to upgrade, but then again that's where the Xperia T steps in. The new Sony smartphone takes the path of the Arc S and tries to give a once successful flagship better chances to survive in the mid-range. The Xperia SL finds itself in the middle of an extremely fierce battle. It's squeezed between the affordable dual-core NovaThor-powered droids and the flagships from the beginning of the year, which have undergone several price-cuts and are ready to conquer new territories. It's quite obvious, that even after the speed bump, the Sony Xperia SL isn't the most powerful droid around. There are several offerings within its own price-range to offer Krait cores and newer generation graphics processors, which might or might not matter too much, depending on wether the Sony smartphone can offer a smooth ride through the UI. Plus, there's the 720p BRAVIA-powered screen of Retina-beating pixel density and the very capable 12 megapixel camera, which give the Xperia SL a couple of potent weapons of its own. The design has not changed one bit, but few will deny that the Xperia S was already one of the sleekest looking smartphones around. The retail box of the Sony Xperia SL features the familiar GreenHeart charger, which pairs with the microUSB cable to charge the phone. An in-ear headset is also available, which rounds up all the essentials, as the Xperia SL features. The Sony Xperia SL is powered by a super fast dual core 1.7 GHz processor, Enjoy Face unlock wave goodbye to passwords and use your face to unlock your phone, Sony Xperia SL comes with the new Sony “WALKMAN” app, featuring a manual equalizer, surround sound and a beautiful, dynamic and intuitive user interface.

We think the Xperia SL has reasons to compete but coupled with an overly ambitious price tag which could prove harmful. And if you're an owner of an Xperia S you really won't be able to find solid grounds on which to upgrade to an Xperia S. Well, it's a solid smartphone, has ICS right out of the box, a beautiful HD display and a potent snapper on the back.
