This is an entry-level Android phone from 2012, built around a single-core 1 GHz Scorpion chip on Qualcomm's MSM8255 Snapdragon platform, paired with just 512 MB of RAM. Storage is tight too: of the 1 GB onboard, only 300 MB is actually usable, so you'll want that microSD slot (up to 32 GB) from day one. The 4.0-inch LCD screen runs at 480 x 854 pixels, roughly 245 ppi, which was standard for budget phones of that era.
Camera duties fall to a 5 MP rear sensor with autofocus and LED flash, plus a basic VGA front camera for video calls. It records video at 720p and runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. The Sony Xperia Neo L price in Malaysia starts from RM665.
Battery capacity sits at 1500 mAh, modest even by 2012 standards, and the phone weighs 131.5g with a 12.2mm profile. It comes in Black or White, with Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA data support rounding out the connectivity.
