Sony Xperia SL review: The NXT one

15 October 2012
A refresh, instead of a proper upgrade. A replacement model rather than a successor. Is the Sony Xperia SL aiming too low? Many will probably say so, but you can't blame Sony for trying to extend the life of a pretty solid smartphone and one...

The only problem is the battery its not removable. So everytime it hung you can't restart it all you can do is to wait until it became Low batt.

    Xperia sl is "rock". The only problem I see is the battery, built in batt is much more worst than the usual batt. Its easy to change when the batt is having a problem.

            Zhinny, 29 May 2013Hi guys am considering buying this phone or samsung galaxy ... moreDude, I don't know why you want to buy this phone or Galaxy S2 at such a time. I suggest you look into more current Samsung or Sony phones. Like the Xperia SP or the Galaxy S4 mini. If you can aim a little higher, get the ZR.
            And I have the Xperia S, which is pretty close to Xperia SL, and let me tell you.. the battery (like reviewers said) is nothing to write home about. I get about 4-5 hours of HD video playback and pretty bad Web browsing duration (3 hours on 3G) on 50% brightness.
