Sony Xperia L1 review (display)
The Sony Xperia L1 features a 5.5" IPS LCD of 720p resolution. The resulting 267ppi is hardly impressive, but adequate for its class - and considering the underpowered GPU, you probably don't want the extra strain that more pixels would have added anyway.
The L1 screen is capable of 450 nits of maximum brightness - not bad for an entry-level device. The screen managed to surprise us with an even higher brightness of 530 nits in Auto mode, so the L1 won't fail you even on the brightest of days. The black levels aren't that deep though, and thus the average contrast is 957:1.
As for color reproduction accuracy, the Xperia L1 screen scored surprisingly well with an average deviation (DeltaE) of 4.4. The blue hues are somewhat oversatured, but other than that the colors are displayed with remarkable accuracy.
The display on the Xperia L1 managed a very decent performance in our sunlight legibility test. This means you will have very few issues using it outdoors.
