SonyXperia L3 5.7 Inch 18:9 Full HD+ display Android 8 UK SIM-Free Smartphone with 3GB RAM and 32GB Storage (Dual SIM) - Black (Exclusive to Amazon)

Have used this model for years it was a charging issue since resolved that prompted thiss purchase. I don't crave anything fancy, just a badic phone for calls and messages. However, I have loads of apps which run perfectly.

I've only given this complete waste of time and effort one star, because it seems I can't leave a review with no stars. Utter utter rubbish.

Charger wire provided didn't work had to use a different wire to get phone to charge

For a fraction of the price of flagship phones, you get a large clear screen, very good battery life, a headphone jack, SD card support to 512GB, little software bloat, and all the features you'd expect from Android. The camera's fine (although not as good as you'd get from flagship devices) , and gamers might struggle with graphic-intensive titles, but for most day-to-day purposes it's a terrific phone for the money!

The keyboard letters are small and the phone randomly turns off and then you can't turn it back on for about 10 mins. I love Sony phones normally but this was a real waste of money.

Been with Sony for a number of years now and needed a new phone to replace my very sad and broken XA I'd had twice in a row that was from maybe 2016. This bad boy came through in the new year and I love it to pieces, the performance is great and at first I wasn't sure if this was a refurbished phone because the box and manual looked a bit different, but the phone itself is legitimate and very good. The battery life is chunky too, even at thirty percent it lasts a good while if you look after it well!

I did not know what to expect with this phone. it had been recommended to me but I was a little apprehensive that it would be too difficult to use as my previous smart phone was very simple (and very slow!). However, I have been very pleased with every aspect of the phone although I have not tried to use the fingerprint reader, having seen no need. I am very pleased with it.

Overall for 180 euros, the phone is really good. I have a lot of apps on it and the phone didn't slow down at all but the only thing that I have an issue with is that its only 720p. When you're watching youtube there will be black bars and 720p isn't really that great but it will do. The fingerprint scanner is ok most of the time I need to tap it twice for it to work but i use the smart lock face unlock feature most of the time. The battery life is really good because I finish the day most of the time with 20% but if you don't use snapchat then the battery would last you for even 2 days. I would definitely recommend a case and screen protector but you need to be careful what screen protector you use because some screen protectors won't let you press the side of the phone, for example, the backspace. The camera is good it won't turn you into a photographer but you can take good quality photos. Other features that people might care about are it has NFC it has a 3.5m headphone jack you can go to the quick settings and cast ur screen to a chromecast.
