Sony smartphones have one thing in common: it is often difficult even for developers to determine the target audience of a particular model. The explanation for this is quite simple. The fact is that the specified manufacturer seeks to fill all segments of the market as much as possible. In the first half of last year, one rather interesting modification appeared on sale in our country - the Sony C2105 Xperia L. An overview of this device, which did not become an exception to the above rule, is presented in this article.
General Description
The device is available with a predominance of black, white or red. The base is partially enveloped by the back cover, so backlash is not typical for the case. Moreover, even over time, it does not begin to creak. Dimensions Sony C2105 Xperia L are 128.7x65x9.7 mm in height, width and thickness, respectively. As for the weight of the device, it is equal to 137 grams.
On the front side, in addition to the display, there is a front camera, a speaker for telephone conversations, distance and light sensors, and a microphone. On the left side you can see the microUSB port, and on the opposite - a metal buttonpower, keys to control the volume and take pictures. The back of the device is occupied by the main camera with an additional microphone and flash. The headphone jack is placed on the top edge. As for the compartment for installing additional memory and a slot for a mobile operator card, they are located inside.
Screen
The diagonal size of the Sony C2105 Xperia L display is 4.3 inches. The screen is covered with protective glass Schott 2 source, which is designed to protect it from scratches and other mechanical damage. This is especially true if you do not use a case for the device. The technology for manufacturing the matrix is not advertised by the manufacturer. The screen resolution is 854x480 pixels, while the image density is 227 pixels per inch. The lack of an oleophobic coating is one of the main drawbacks of the Sony C2105 Xperia L display. Reviews from experts and many smartphone owners indicate that fingerprints are very poorly wiped off. Moreover, the finger glides across the screen is not very good. The sensor can simultaneously recognize up to four touches.
Software
The model operates on the Android 4.1.2 operating system with a proprietary shell from the manufacturer - Xperia Home. The device does not come with any widgets installed initially, they must be downloaded separately. It is considered quite inconvenient that the user of the device cannot independently modifyits illumination. The battery saver mode, called Stamina, has become interesting and useful. As for the standard software, everything here is the same as in other models from the line - proprietary services, programs from other developers (for example, a file manager and browsers). It should be noted that the user can easily delete pre-installed applications that are unnecessary for himself.
Main Specifications
The Sony C2105 Xperia L phone has 8 gigabytes of fixed memory, of which a little more than half is available to the user. The rest of the space is required for system needs. Although the slot for an additional memory card (up to 32 gigabytes) is provided in the model, it is impossible to download applications to it. The device is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor with a frequency of 1 GHz.
As for the RAM, its capacity here is 1 GB. In terms of performance, there can be no particular complaints for a device from its price category. Applications load quite quickly, provided that their size is not very large. Moreover, at this time, heating is not typical for modification. With more complex programs, things are a little different.
Camera
The camera used in the Sony Xperia L C2105 smartphone is equipped with the latest version (at the time of the model's release) of the Exmor RS sensor. It shoots at a resolution of eight megapixels. Whatever it was, very clear andThe quality of the images obtained with its help cannot be called. For distant plans, vagueness is almost always characteristic. As for shooting video, it takes place with a maximum resolution of 720p. The picture on the rollers cannot boast of clarity. Moreover, it usually has poor stabilization.
It should be noted that the model has a front camera of 0.3 megapixels. There is no need to talk about the quality of the pictures taken by her. The only worthy sphere of its application can only be called video communication.
Autonomy
In our time, it is hardly possible to surprise anyone with a removable battery with a capacity of 1750 mAh. It is this element that is used in the Sony C2105 Xperia L model. Be that as it may, do not forget about the nuance that in this case we are talking about a device that does not have powerful system characteristics, and at the same time it does not have the largest screen. This suggests that the power consumption of the smartphone is not very high. And indeed it is. In particular, in standby mode, a full charge of the battery will last for about 454 hours, and with a constant conversation - for 8.5 hours. If you set the display to maximum brightness and turn on HD video playback, as well as all wireless modules, the device will be completely discharged in just four hours. With all this, do not forget about the special energy saving mode, which allows you to significantly extend the life of the device without additionalcharging.
Conclusions
Summing up, one cannot help but recall the cost of the Sony C2105 Xperia L phone. In particular, in domestic official points of sale for the model they ask for an amount starting at twelve thousand rubles. Among the main advantages of the device, one can only note a stylish appearance and an unusual LED backlight. In all other respects, the device can be safely called a typical mid-ranger, the technical stuffing and performance of which is enough to solve ordinary everyday tasks. The set of pre-installed applications is enough to satisfy the requirements of not very experienced users, while the quality of the pictures taken with the camera is excellent for posting on social networks.
