A dual-core 1 GHz Snapdragon MSM8230 chipset with 1 GB RAM sits under the hood, paired with 8 GB storage (5.8 GB usable) and microSD support up to 32 GB. The 4.3-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 854, which works out to roughly 228 ppi, decent enough for a budget device from this era but nothing sharp by today's standards. Android 4.1 comes preloaded, upgradable to 4.2.2.

The 8 MP rear camera adds autofocus, LED flash, HDR and sweep panorama, plus 720p video recording with stabilization. A VGA front camera handles basic selfies and calls. Battery capacity is 1750 mAh, modest but matched to the phone's compact 137g build.

Sony Xperia L price in Malaysia starts from RM539. It comes in Black, White and Red, and includes NFC and dual-band Wi-Fi, both useful extras at this price point.

Fits someone after a cheap, basic Android phone for calls, texts and light browsing, not anyone expecting smooth multitasking or all-day battery life.
