Sony Xperia neo L Review
Share:
The 5-megapixel auto-focus camera on the neo L comes with LED flash on the back and 30fps video capture, so far so good.
What’s worrisome, though, is the mediocre quality of the pictures the handset captures. It almost looks like you were shooting with a 3-megapixel or lower-resolution camera as detail is scarce, and the images lack in sharpness. Areas of similar color often appear as one big blurry spot.

On the plus side, the device has a front-facing VGA camera, which will come in handy for video calls.
Multimedia:
The 4-inch screen is a great asset for multimedia consumption just for its sheer size. What’s great is that Sony is continuing on its tradition to deliver top notch audio in even its more affordable devices and the Xperia neo L sounds loud and - if you don’t crank up the volume to the maximum - clear.
Downloading one of the third-party video players on Google Play will let you play all formats, but be warned that the processor won’t be able to handle 1080p video playback. It does just fine with 720p, though.

i don't get why there are things listed in "CONS" that are not listed in other devices.
>Plasticky, very cheap feel
>Screen lacks oleophobic coating, looks like a mess after a while
Samsung phones always comes with these kinds of things. "SG.Ace2"
Anyways, great review. Hoping for a little higher score but the performance is somewhat a big down factor.

What the heck is oleophobic coating and why do you always put them on sony devices reviews?????????? also you should have reviewed the white model .. becausee the white one looks gorgeous and also by the way samsung phones dont get plasticy feel on con...
Phonearena must hate Sony..

Must be one of the worse and peculiar decision by Sony to even consider releasing this phone, certainly the new NXT series offer more for the similar price (correct me if i'm wrong)

This phone is just terrible. It's firstly slow, secondly crashed without a reason, thirdly hard to reboot... Maybe more and so far I've been using this for 3 weeks and really wanted to sell it after 1 week... Who's going to buy, I guess not :(
