Unboxing



As you open the box, the first thing that will welcome you is the smartphone. Let's put the phone at the side first and take a look further into the box. Inside the box, you'll find the manuals, wall charger, USB cable, ear buds with 3 different sizes. So let's take a look on the phone itself.


On the front of the device, you'll find the IR blaster on the top left corner, the 2MP front-facing camera and the mic are at the bottom right, and the LED notification light at the bottom center.


On the left side of the device you'll find the charging port and the slot where you can insert a camera strap (I'm not pretty sure about it).


On the right side, you'll find the camera button, the power and lock button, and the volume rocker.


On the bottom, you'll not find anything except the other half of the camera strap slot (still not sure about it whether it's a camera strap slot or not).




On the top, you'll only find the 3.5mm headphone jack.


Flip the phone over, you'll find the 13MP rear camera, below it is its LED flash, beside the camera is the small speaker. When you open that rectangular shaped part of the phone at the btm is where you can find the SIM card slot and the microSD slot.
Hands-on Review 
The first I notice when I used the Sony Xperia ZL was its screen. It's very sharp. Texts looks clear (can't see it on the picture though). It was kinda fast but I can see just a little bit stuttering when I was swiping from side-side. But overall it was a good experience holding it. One thing that I noticed, when I played the Minion Rush for couple of minutes, it drains the battery fast so I enabled the Stamina mode and Low Battery mode.
