The screen size reaches 5.7" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. LCD displays are currently taking a back seat. This is mainly due to higher power consumption. In addition, they have the disadvantage of lower colour contrast, which can be reflected e.g. in the resulting photos. On the other hand, phones with LCD displays are in general cheaper than those with OLED technology.

Display Resolution of Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) is 1440 x 720 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px.

PROCESSOR Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM)
Processor Type (CPU) MediaTek
Processor Number MT6762
Clock Speed 1.5 GHz Better than 54 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty 8-core Better than 99 % of phones rated.

Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) is supplied with MediaTek. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. Another important parameter is the processor frequency, which indicates how many instructions the phone can process in one second. Similar to refresh rate, the higher the number, the faster the phone responds. Processor frequency of phone Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) is 1.5 GHz. As standard today, you'll find this value between 1.8 GHz and 2.8 GHz.

MEMORY Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM)
RAM 3 GB Better than 67 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 32 GB Better than 62 % of phones rated.
User Memory 21 GB
Supported Flash Memory Cards (Expandable Memory) microSDHC, microSDXC - up to 512 GB

One of the most important parameters for user´s decision is often internal memory capacity. The larger it is, the more apps, photos, movies and other files your phone can store. This phone has 32 GB storage. This memory capacity is ideal for those who have a few basic apps and a few dozen photos on their phone. If you don't expect to use your phone to play games or need to store high-resolution photos, this size should be sufficient. There is almost no probability you're likely to see this low capacity on new smartphones. The standard memory today is around 64 and 128 GB. The best phones have internal memory of 256 GB or more. Nowadays, you can usually find one phone model on the market with several different memory sizes. This allows each user to choose what suits them best.

For this model it is possible to increase the storage size by inserting a memory card.

Size of the RAM memory tells us how powerful the phone is. Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) is equipped with 3 GB. Commonly today you will find phones with 6 to 8 GB of RAM. This means that the phone can easily handle normal operation and more demanding applications or games. Higher RAM of 12 GB can be found in best phones on market and are ideal especially for avid gamers. On the other hand, operating memory below 4 GB is more of an issue with lower-end phones and older models. However, even they will find their fans among less demanding users, who don´t want to spend much on buying new phone.

The rear camera of the phone Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) has 2 lenses. Today's modern phones usually have several rear lenses. The most common are macro lens, telephoto lens and wide-angle lens. Each is used to capture the perfect photo - macro lens is designed for close-up photography, telephoto lens, often equipped with an optical zoom, is for photos of objects in distance, and wide-angle lens captures larger areas where you need a wider field of view. The main lens is designed as Wide-angle lens. The resolution of main lens is 13 Megapixel. Nonetheless, resolution alone does not necessarily mean a good photo. Therefore, you should look at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size.

The size of the phone's sensor is also among the parameters that affect quality of the photo. In case of Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM), it is 1/3.0". Focus mainly on the value after the slash, where the higher it is, the better photo quality will be. Another important factor is the aperture, which in this case is F/2.2 and determines how much light passes through the sensor. Best phones have an aperture of up to F/1.5. But the most common lenses today are F/1.8 to F/2.2. In this case, the lower the number after the slash, the higher the photo quality.

Digital zoom in this case offers zooming up to 4x. Of course, the higher the lens value, the more distant object can be zoomed in. Nonetheless, the disadvantage of digital zoom is that the quality and sharpness of photo deteriorates when using it.

Second camera
The resolution reaches size of 2 Megapixel. Pixel size in this case is 1.75 μm. In addition, this lens also features lens aperture of F/2.4.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The main front lens is designed as a Wide-angle lens. The lens is equipped with 8 Megapixel. However, do not forget there are other factors than resolution having impact on the final quality of front camera photos. The pixel size itself is 1.12 μm. The main front lens also achieves F/2.0. As for the field of view of main lens of front camera, it reaches 84 degree(s).

BATTERY AND CHARGING Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM)
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 3300 mAh Better than 74 % of phones rated.

The battery size of Sony XPERIA L3 (Dual-SIM) is 3300 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.
