Vladimir , 19 Sep 2017Update for 8. Oreo? I believe that this budget smartphone will remain at Android 7.1.1.

My battery survived on Stamina mode for 4 days (+100 hours) while I was using mobile for 2 hours per day for browsing net, music and videos.
Official endurance rating posted is 63h which means 1 hour of calling, browsing and video. It was clearly tested on Normal mode.
I had roughly 2 days using Normal mode (official is 40h) on my old Xperia XA phone with slightly worse battery capacity.
But Xperia XA had more battery demanding hardware, running everything smoothly.

Cable for charger is the same length as XA's and connector is different while cable comes out from side of charger.
It charged 70% in 2 hours. Certainly not fast charge.
It seems the mobile or the new update opens up more options for it, there are modes for Sleep, Focus, Abroad which are useful. I can also setup my keyboard larger. It also supports Chinese, no need for me.
Radio works without original headphones.
It is obviously lagging but not miss clicking. XA was very responsive compared to L1.
I used my camera once and found out it has no physical shutter.
Lock button is wider and up on the right frame together with volume buttons. Very useful when I have my phone in pocket to change volume. There is button to stop music on the cable of original headphones, nothing else.

I bought it after all.
First off, I listened to my music on other headphones, then I used default headphones and they are just bad. They have a little gap at the back, short cable divided for left ear shorther, right ear longer.
Battery consumption is next thing I will watch. For now it seems pretty close to XA's.
Speaker is really loud and clear, happy about it.
I really feel its weight and dimensions in pocket. I hope it only means solid construction and will not break so soon.
This is my first day, so I will give you more later as I uncover its mysteries.

Is it worth 180e?
I used Xperia XA for 9 months, paid 280e. It stopped charging the battery... I would have to pay for its repair since I have little scratch on the front. I see Xperia L1 is improvement over its 1 year old "brother".
Major issues with XA were:
-battery lasted shortly, L1 has bigger, longer lasting one.
-speaker was quite, L1 has louder one.
-charger cable is short, my old phone had twice the size.
-overheated when installing regular updates.
-over 2 hours battery charging despite it its quick charger.
-headphones stopped working shortly after purchase.
-slippery and light.

If Xperia L1 covers most of these problems well, I would not have to regret another Sony purchase. I was Nokia user for a long time and I am not used for expensive and fragile mobiles. That is why I am asking about advice.

Sony all time best in audio video quality. Samsung bloody paid huge amount as penalty to apple for copying it's design.
Sony Xperia L1 is best at its price, go for it..in India it's available from 2/3 week of September for 9500/-
Samsung followers growup.

Honestly speaking, I ain't dissapointed with this phone considering the price of it, it rarely causes me problems, I hate the fact that it doesn't have a flashlight on its front 📷 camera. The sound is just okay for me.
