Sony Xperia TL review: the company's second US flagship is much improved, but still imperfect

 

As Sony's second stab at the US mobile market, the Xperia TL arrives with a major corporate synergistic push: a 007 movie franchise tie-in. But an awkward distinction as the official Bond phone and a smattering of pre-loaded "Skyfall" multimedia...

Fast, reliable performance ; Fantastic 13-megapixel camera ; Attractively priced

720p display prone to washout ; Weak battery life

The Xperia TL is Sony's first true flagship for the US market. But despite its aggressive $99 on-contract pricing, the TL fails to overtake HTC's superior One X, casting it as a second-place budget option.

Sony Xperia TL (AT&T)

 

The Xperia TL for AT&T brings Sony up to speed with a fast, reasonably priced smartphone that will please average users and James Bond aficionados alike.

Fast performance. Good camera. Nice display.

Bloatware. A little heavy.

Sony Xperia TL (AT&T) review:

 

The new $99.99 Xperia TL is the phone I've been waiting for from Sony for quite a while. Frankly it's the handset the Xperia Ion should have been. Thanks to a swift 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor and a camera that snaps high-quality images,...

Sony's new $99 Xperia TL has a swift processor, 4G LTE, long battery life, and a powerful camera.

The Sony Xperia TL is heavy, and its conservative looks don't pack much of a punch.

The Sony Xperia TL is a fantastic value and Sony's best U.S. smartphone yet.

Sony Xperia TL Review

 

The name's TL, Xperia TL. Just as the secret agent made famous in the big screen, this “James Bond phone” from Sony surely comes off as being nonchalant with its attitude, since it's deceitfully packing some killer hardware under its façade. No doubt,...

Great balance of price & hardware ; Sturdy construction ; Snaps photos quickly

Very reflective display and poor viewing angles ; Muted call quality ; Physical buttons are too crowded

Part of being a world famous secret agent, James Bond will surely appreciate that he’s finally given a smartphone for his missions – as opposed to the dummy phones of yesterday, though, the Ericsson concept phone in Tomorrow Never Dies was an...

Sony Xperia TL Review

 

Sony made a gorgeous phone that seemingly has the potential to be the device that finally delivers its elusive home run hit. That potential is sadly wasted on a device that has just enough frustrations to be another link in a chain of disappointments....

Review: Sony Xperia TL for AT&T

 

The Xperia TL is the latest LTE 4G smartphone from Sony for AT&T. The TL's defining features are its 13-megapixel camera and association with the James Bond movie "Skyfall." Those two features barely scratch the surface, however. There's plenty more to...

Sony Xperia TL Review: A Beautiful Creature Dropped On Its Head

 

Sony's latest flagship, the Xperia TL, is a nice step up from its latest adventure in mediocrity, the Xperia Ion. But just because it's 007′s phone in Skyfall, that doesn't mean it should be yours. I mean, that guy is kind of a loose canon.

No. Not unless Sony fixes its software (or you can). We’ve seen phones with the exact same processor, RAM, and resolution perform extremely well, so there’s nowhere to look for the gaps in performance but that Sony skin. If there were just stock Jelly...

Sony Xperia TL Review: A Gorgeous Idiot

 

What Is It?

to be rooted and have some clean software put on it. For the DIY geek-types, this sweet hardware for $100 is a great deal if you can get it running the modded software you want (like stock Android 4.2, or CyanogenMod). I have few doubts that such a...

"Never Again"

 

The reason why this phone gets only half of a star is: 1. Had to replace wife's and my phone after 6months because camera pictures would freeze or blink once you try to zoom the pic. 2.Once we replaced these phones (because they were under 1 year...

Good navigation, download ringtones from Zedge app, good size

Camera -zooms in and out during video/pic, gets slow and battery overheats
