Sony Xperia L1 review: Level one

23 June 2017
The Xperia L1 marks Sony's return to the still growing and highly-competitive entry-level market. Putting together a good smartphone for beginners can often turn out to be an even tougher task than designing a flagship. Maybe that's why Sony is retiring its E-series and introducing a new contender in the Xperia L1.

                                    The Xperia L1 has a better image post processing then the XZ/XZP, look at the photos taken with L1, they look more natural and not over-processed like on XZ/XZP! I´m quite suprissed actually.
                                    The XZ/XZP really have the "BIONZ" image processing and it should make photos better, and a phone without the BIONZ has a more natural image then the top of the line phones.. Pff, it´s lame and should be the other way around.....
