![[2 Pack] Sony Xperia L3 Screen Protector - Tempered Glasses Screen Guard Protector FILM For Sony Xperia L3](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61xNNpC7AWL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
Up to the usual high standards you expect from Sony. This is a superbly designed smartphone with metal case and curved-edge screen - similar to the iPhone 6/7 and Samsung S7. It's larger than the former though and fits well in the hand while still having a bright, clear 5-inch screen. The product photos are a little confusing though because that strange lock-screen is actually just a glimpse of the sideways motion the unlocking swipe takes, and the colourful paintbrush swirls are the wallpaper underneath (easily changed).
The instructions say charge for 30-mins before first use, so I did. And if it's like mine then proceeds to update itself, all the way up to Android 7 Nougat.
In use the phone is responsive and handles everything thrown at it. I've read reviews of the heat generated by the latest Sony's but have to say I haven't noticed it. That big initial upgrading - which overall took quite a while - didn't make the phone any warmer than any other I've had. In fact I'd say it became only slightly warm. Certainly nothing out of the ordinary.
So far I'm down to 50% after that original charge 5 days ago, so there's no battery problem either. True I don't sit glued to it all day like a teenager and turn it off at night. From previous experience of other phones I'm quite happy.
The box is Sony's new style - less flat and more boxy. You get the phone, a USB cable and adaptive fast charger (UCH10) and a couple of leaflets. That's all. So no earphones.
The SIM is a Nano-sized one and it fits in a single pull out tray alongside a memory card if you choose to use one.
On Sony's web-site you'll find a full PDF manual and the "Xperia Companion" desktop software for both Windows and macOS if you'd like to use that. For Windows users only there's the "Media Go" music and video player available too. An alternative to the like of iTunes etc. None of this is needed though.
All in all the phone doesn't disappoint. I've owned Sony phones before and they just keep getting better. I've owned iPhones too but keep coming back to Sony.
A good buy from a quality brand.
