GooglePlay, Facebook, Amazon, etc. - Cell phone is not the least heavy out there on the market, weighing in at 6.3 ounces. - The outer shell/case is not of the greatest quality (carbon poly plastic rather than metal) which allowed Sony to significantly reduce the cost of the item quite significantly. Casing does scuff rather easily and is susceptible to finger print oil stains, thus it is advised that anyone buy a protective casing. - Phone will not work with Sprint, Verizon, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile or any other CDMA network.

This is a great phone for it's price. I wouldn't recommend using it t mobiles network as for some reason it sucks but works fine on att. Great little phone to keep as a backup or to give to someone just beginning with smart phones

We were in the market for a new phone for my daughter. The last phone that Erika had was the the more expensive Xperia. Unfortunately it was dropped and never worked properly after that. We went to Best Buy looking for a new phone to purchase. This one caught her eye and the price caught mine. It is a little smaller than her previous phone, however, she as grown to like this just as much if not more than her other one.

Good phone great camera great size screen and great price

So far, this phone has been great. The screen is easy to use and the options/settings seem ample. I have no complaints about the sound or image quality. The camera is decent, but I suppose am picky on image clarity since I am a photographer and typically use a higher-quality DSLR camera for events and projects. My only complaint is that despite the capacity for the voice-to-text feature on Google searches, there is no option for that feature on texting, so all texts have to be typed out. Otherwise, I'm still getting used to this phone and enjoying it considerably so far.

Let me start by saying that I bought this phone on a whim. My previous phone(zte blade V8 pro) had recently broke beyond reapir so I was in the market for a new one. And one similar to the V8 pro: great camera, simple u.i not bogged down with added bloat Ware, nfc, a decent battery and USB c. And this phone came with all these things for the most part, granted the camera is lackluster as well as the battery, which yes does suck. But it meets my other requirements; one thing this phone does have that the zte was lacking was looks. If nothing else I can say that the Sony Xperia l1 does draw the eyes. It's sharp angles tiny bezels and bright vibrant screen has more design than my blade V8 pro. It's a phone I feel is just the essentials with decent looks, it covers my needs and looks great to boot. The camera, and battery definitely could be better, besides that it has usb c, nfc and although not full HD display 720p is fine enough for day to day tasks. To;Dr: great LOOKING phone, not so great specs. Pros:nfc, USB type c, it's design and ui Cons:battery is small, and can get hot camera for being a Sony camera isn't good, and it's specs are base. My opinion: if you're using it just for a phone and nothing too intense and want to draw the eye get this. If not and have an extra 30 buy the zte blade V8 pro;just buy a case.

I switched from a Samsung Note to this Sony. Better, phone, cheaper,. The screen resolution is as good, the power is as good, memory is as good. It works great on AT&T. I paid half the price.

Great phone for very less price. Phone has very good camera and is very slick.

Takes good pictures and videos. Nice light design.

I like the looks of this phone, in addition I personally prefer the 5.5 screen size, not too big not too small, I wish the bezels were smaller though. Having the latest Android is a plus. However this phone is a bit slow, which is expected for this price and specs. But overall good choice for the money.

The phone itself has really great screens, high res and the feel is really good. However, the sim card slot is really difficult to get it right, and may require help from outside. The sound is great, but storage is limited. Should get a sd card beforehand if you want ample space.

bought phone for my brother in law, he is very happy, big screen and easy to navigate, price was reasonable.

Reasonable price, good camera and. I have been using this since almost a month and absolutely love it

Is a good phone, the camera is the best feature. If you are looking a smart phone with a good performance this is a nice option

This phone comes with all of the bells and whistles of the times, actually a upgrade from last one. Loved the camera picture quality and the Sony name lives up to the reputation.

This Xperia is a very standard Android phone although that said Sony went out of its way to make sure that is a bit of a higher class phone for a budget. That said you get what you pay for a little bit of a lower resolution camera but still clear and crisp. This phone was given to my daughter who is 13 and it works perfectly for her needs.

Very friendly,good camera, like it not bulky and affordable

You get a decent phone with good battery life. Screen res is average - great for a temporary phone or if you need a less expensive phone.

Sony phones are great phones the camera is fantastic and the program for syncing music pictures or transfer files is really easy to use.

I'll start off by saying this is the biggest phone I've ever owned, so it is taking a bit of adjustment for me to hold with one hand (I have pretty big hands,) to hold sideways and use the keyboard (even though I'm doing that right now for this review and the predictions and auto correct are pretty spot on,) and it feels noticeably bulkier in my pocket. All those things aside considering I knew I was buying a large phone... I love this thing. It's remarkable.
