The Sony Xperia L2 scores highly for its battery life, storage capacity and workmanship, but it simply does not do enough to justify the recommended retail price.

All that said, if you are looking for a low-cost, entry-level phone, be it a Sony or not, it looks like the Xperia L2 could be it, or at least until better options come out on the market in a few months.

The Sony Xperia L2 isn't a bad phone, but it comes up short against the competition in virtually every area, from its clunky plastic design to its sub-par display resolution and underwhelming performance.

Sony's mobile is a solid all-round experience, boasting particularly strong battery life and some neat bonus features. However, the competition matches or betters this device in many areas also, especially when it comes to design.

My primary criticism of the smartphone is its excessive price. As things stand right now though, it would be crazy to buy a smartphone with these specs for such a high price.
