Sony Xperia L4 – a good budget-priced handset
The Xperia L4 is Sony’s take on a budget phone and for the sub £200 price it is a good offering. Having some of the same design cues as the Xperia 1 II and 10 II, yet it does not have that slightly old fashioned look to the screen that blights those two handsets, by […]
