In recent times, a number of Sony Xperia smartphones
have been certified at ECC and are expected to be unveiled as Sony Xperia XA3,
XA3 Ultra, and Xperia L3. Today, new news shows that one of the phones, Xperia
L3, has been certified by the FCC in the US and is expected to be released
soon.
The FCC certification document shows that the
diagonal length of the phone is 165.6 mm, which means that the display should
be 5.73 inches (145.6 mm), which is quite close to the number 5.7-inch exposed
by OnLeaks. A schematic diagram in the certification document depicts the
outline of the phone. It can be said that this phone is still familiar with the
Sony flavor: no notch, no full screen, huge chin, and the “thickness” of the
top-bezel is quite massive. In addition, the right side of the fuselage layout
seems to house all the physical buttons, the power button, fingerprint scanner,
and volume button are all located on this side. The SIM card slot is set on the
left side of the phone.
In October of this year, OnLeaks showed off the
rendering of the phone on Twitter, which showed that the phone will adopt a
rear dual-camera design. However, at a time when the full-screen display is a
massive trend in the smartphone industry, these huge bezels will certainly not
be appealing to many potential buyers.
