Ngenxa yezizathu esingazazi, abakwaSony bethula uchungechunge lwamabanga achazwe kahle lapho kubiyelwa khona inani elingapheli lamadivayisi eselula, anokubukeka okufana ncamashi kodwa okushintsha kakhulu ngaphakathi. Lowo ogxile ukunaka kwethu namuhla yi-Xperia L1, imodeli entsha yesayizi enkulu efinyelela emndenini wenkampani yeNippon ngezici ezithile okukhulunywa ngazo, kwesinye isikhathi okusenza sicabange ukuthi uSony akanayo intshisekelo efuna sikholwe ngocingo oluphathekayo.
Sisho ngalokhu ukuthi lokhu kukhishwa kweSony kwakamuva kunezici ezisenza sicabange kabusha ngezinto eziningi. Siqala ngeprosesa IMediaTek MT6737T Lokho kude nokunikeza ukusebenza okumangazayo, besingacishe sikubeke ebangeni eliphansi ukube bekungekhona ukuthi iza nge-chassis yakwaSony. Siyaqhubeka nge-2GB elinganiselwe ye-RAMKusobala ukuthi kuncane uma sibheka i-RAM ukuthi amadivayisi aphakathi nohla ahamba kanjani, futhi futhi uma sibheka ungqimba lokwenza ngokwezifiso olufakwa nguSony kumadivayisi we-Xperia (angenakuqhathaniswa).
Siyaqhubeka nesikrini, iphaneli ye- 5,5 amayintshi, kuhambisana nesinqumo esilinganiselwe se-HD (720p), esingenzi ubulungiswa obukhulu kumadivayisi we-Sony ngokujwayelekile. Okwebhethri uma sizoba nenani elihle, I-2620 mAh ezoqinisekisa ukuthi okungenani usuku nengxenye yokusetshenziswa uma singafuni ngenkani ngedivayisi, uma yonke i-hardware yayo iyivumela, kunjalo. Mayelana nokugcina, sizoba nokusuka ku-16GB okunganwetshwa kufinyelele ku-256GB ngezinkumbulo ze-MicroSD. Futhi ekugcineni, 13MP kwikhamera yangemuva naku-5MP kukhamera yangaphambili, ngentengo esingakayazi namanje kodwa okungafanele yeqe ama-euro angama-200.
