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...

            free, 16 Oct 2012pricing is ridiculous. this device is woth half the price t... moreThis device is in 300 Euros price range, if it's worth half the price then the LG Optimus L5 or Samsung Galaxy Ace would fit better for you, I hope you enjoy their sub-par screen, lower quality camera, and slower processor.

                            I am also quite dissapointed with the review. There is the battery test which was omitted. Also in the benchmarks they did not include the vanilla Xperia S and former flagship. That beats the purpose because naturally the whole reason this phone came out was cause of Xperia S. And the people who are likely to buy this phone are the same who want to get there hands on Xperia S but don't want to add an extra hundred quid for the T. Xperia S is the defacto and the reason this phone came out so why can't we see the SL's improvements over the S as a result of the faster CPU. Quite silly.

                              based on the benchmarks this phone is way behind the Android phones in the market

                                  very good phone! now in Lebanon xperia s is for 355$ and xperia sl is for 415$ which is pretty reasonable with 400MHZ difference ( using 2 cores) so nice deal! its hd screen and cam are awesome!

                                      Guest, 16 Oct 2012Galaxy beam and this one cost the same. I'll go for the HD ... moreIm getting the acro s. Same camera and dame display plus card slot and waterproof and survives being run over by a car. And if it didnt survive you could salvage your files from the micro sd card. Cardslot is immensely important, and the lack of it is the only reason why Xperia S didnt sell better, it was a capable and cheap HD phone at the right time with one shortcoming that tipped the scale to its disfavor
