Sony Xperia L1 review (connectivity)
Connectivity
The Sony Xperia L1 comes in single and dual-SIM flavors. Ours is the single-SIM version, so we can't comment on how the Dual SIM one handles the two cards. The Mediatek MT6737T's modem supports Cat.4 LTE for download speeds of up to 150Mbps.
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n is supported, but not ac. You can stream wirelessly over Miracast but the L1 isn't DLNA certified. Bluetooth is v4.2with Low Energy and audio-focused aptX on board as well. NFC is available too, and so is an FM radio receiver.
For positioning, you get GPS and GLONASS, but no BDS and Galileo.
Peripherals can be connected via the USB-C port, but it only adheres to USB 2.0, so transfer speeds are limited to 480Mbps. There's a good old 3.5mm jack for attaching headphones too.
