The S36h Xperia L, the smallest in the new Sony Xperia series in 2013, has the lowest positioning. At the same time, the overall configuration is certainly the lowest in the whole series. Let's see if the positioning of only the low-end S36h Xperia L will bring surprises?

Hardware environment:

Equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8230 dual core 1GHz processor and Qualcomm Adreno305 graphics module; The actual usable memory of Ram 1G is about 778M, and the actual usable capacity of ROM 8G is about 6.6G, which supports maximum 32G expansion of SD card; With the Android system in 4.1.2, the actual resolution does not reach 854 × 480 due to the virtual key relationship, but 782 × 480 is actually available; The camera is a highlight of this machine. It is equipped with Sony's own stack Exmor RS 8 megapixel camera. Although the 8 megapixel camera is only modest at today's level, the stack camera can be regarded as a standout in this level. The battery is 1700mAh, which is removable and replaceable.

Appearance design:

The waist line on the back is slightly closed, and the extremely concealed breathing lamp is as shy as a girl. The silver binding is integrated with the power key on the right side, making the protruding power key less abrupt. The front has a strong overall feeling because there is no physical key; The huge silver camera on the back, the silver XPERIA logo, and the silver speakers echo each other, which is very simple. The faint opening at the lower left is the legendary lanyard. The plastic treatment of the back cover is very strong against fingerprints, and silver dots shine from time to time. Of course, the beauty and ugliness are entirely their own, so I will not comment here.

From top to bottom on the right side of the fuselage are the volume key+-, the power key, and the independent camera key.

The feedback and touch of the volume key are very comfortable and clear; I don't know whether the power key is an engineering machine. When it touches the power button from any direction, there is a sudden boldness. There is no visual sense, just a tactile sense. It can be seen from the comparison diagram with the fellow martial brother M35h that the power key frame does not protrude like M35h. Therefore, the power key of S36h is slightly longer, which produces such a feeling. The independent camera key can be pressed for a long time when the screen is completely black to call up the camera program. The slight disadvantage is that if it is used as the shutter key, it needs to press the camera button to the bottom with force, which is too long and inconvenient to use.

There is no button on the left side of the fuselage. Instead, there are two slots, the cover opening slot and the Micro USB slot from top to bottom. The 3.5mm headphone jack is in the middle of the fuselage top.

When the back cover is opened, the SIM card slot can be seen inside. The hidden SD card slot can be seen only after the battery is removed

System and performance:

It is equipped with the Android system in 4.1.2, plus the classic Sony UI, STAMINA mode power saving mode, Xperia settings, Xperia themes, Timescape, etc. However, after so many years of evolution, Timescape can only read the avatar, rather than the real-time content of the photos, which is a bit unreasonable; It is also different from Xperia Z, which can call out hovering gadgets on the multitasking interface. It may be due to the screen size. The Bravia color engine also failed to appear on the S36h. Four point touch is also sufficient for small screen (4.3 can it be considered as a large screen at present?) machines.

Of course, Xperia's interface is still an excellent interface. It's just amazing that after years of hard work, it still doesn't rank first in Android!

The camera is a big selling point of this machine. I believe that all of you have been more or less active or forced to learn about Sony's stack of stack cameras recently, so I will not repeat here. How detailed the explanation of the principle can not rival the reality of several samples, and only pictures are attached for reference

The processor and graphics renderer can cope with most games at present, thanks to 854 × 480, the mainstream flagship machine resolution three years ago, which significantly reduces the pressure on the graphics renderer

The total score of 9363 is very close to that of the Samsung Galaxy Note generation, which shows that its performance is not strong enough to cope with the pressure of general 3D games.

The performance of the parade was tested by the popular games, Temple Escape 2 and Real Racing 3.

The highest quality Temple Escape 2 has no pressure, while the real race car 3 runs smoothly, but this game automatically reduces the quality of many pictures, and there are few gorgeous special effects left

Battery life:

They played the game of temple escape for 210 minutes, the real car race for 20 minutes, and a total of 30 minutes of non-stop games. The battery was 96% to 84%. It can be seen that the S36h was on a low-power route. And it doesn't bring a strong burning feeling, it can only be regarded as a slightly warm 36.6 degrees Celsius

If you still feel that the standby power consumption is high, you can turn on the STAMINA mode to perform low-power standby, and add the programs that still need to be executed to the white list. It can also be counted as a remedial measure when the battery is never enough

Summary:

The S36h, as a mobile phone for middle and low end positioning, together with the low resolution screen, has greatly improved the game performance, making a big face for middle and low end models. In addition to the low power consumption hardware environment, it can also win the favor of some battery controls. The 8 million stack camera may not surprise some players, but in this level, this camera is at least among the high-end. Whether the combination of smooth experience, high level camera and low power consumption can make consumers ignore other pain, we hope that the answer will be given after the S36h is launched.
