Sony suddenly took a detour from its ionic Xperia design style last year when it released the Xperia 1 with a trimmed down bezels and larger display as well as 21:9 aspect ratio. While we wait for another flagship Xperia model this year, Sony has unveiled a surprise model dubbed Xperia L4. The device is a mid-range model but takes a cue from the Xperia 1.
Sony Xperia L4 features a 6.2-inch LCD display with an HD+ resolution of 720 pixels and a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. The display also uses the 21:9 aspect ratio that first featured on the Xperia 1. The aspect ratio brings an immersive and wide display that is good for watching movies on the mobile set as well as for split-screen multitasking.

The Xperia L4 houses a triple camera setup at the rear aligned vertically at the top left corner. The camera sensors include a 13-megapixel wide-angle (phase focus), 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, and 2-megapixel depth sensor. At the front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie lens hidden in the “water drop” notch.
In terms of hardware, the Xperia L4 is a bit disappointing, as it is powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 processor. The processor is in the same league as the Snapdragon 625 SoC. The processor is paired with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage. The phone doesn’t have any fingerprint sensor but packs a 3.5mm headphone jack. There also seems to be an extra button on the side apart from the volume rockers and power button. The button is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The phone gets its power from a 3580mAh battery and supports NFC.
As for the pricing and availability, Sony is scheduled to release the L4 in the Spring. The mobile phone will be available in Black and blue but the price is yet to be disclosed.
