We’ve been keeping a close eye on Sony leaks in the
past month or so as the MWC approaches. The latest Sony leak is a full set of
renders depicting Sony’s newest entry-level smartphones: the Xperia L3. The renders look just like the
first renders that leaked along with the XA3 and XA3 Ultra from January.
The phone doesn’t have the new “CinemaWide display
that we are expecting on the XZ4 and XA3 (now rumored to be called Xperia 10).
The report from WinFuture lists some alleged specs of the L3 including a
5.7-inch display with an HD+ (720p) resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio.
There’s also a dual camera setup on the back 13MP + 2MP cameras. Meanwhile, the
front camera is said to have an 8MP sensor.
There’s mention of a 3,300 mAh battery, 32GB of
on-board storage and 2GB of RAM. There’s no mention of a CPU but the phone
would come with Android Oreo 8.1 out of the box. On the renders we can see that
the L3 has NFC on the rear, a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, a USB-C port at
the bottom, and all the phone’s physical keys are on the right side.
There is a volume rocker, power key, and a dedicated
fingerprint scanner mounted on the side. The left side has the SIM/microSD card
tray. The phone seen in the renders is gray but the phone should also come
in black and gold and could have an MSRP of € 199. We should hear more about
this guy at the MWC.
