If you do not consider "solid" as an insult, but instead connect the word with reliability and trustworthiness, then the Sony Xperia L1 might be something for you. It offers solid performance, in the best sense of the word, in many areas. No more and no less. If you want no more than a well-functioning smartphone, you will be quite happy with the Xperia L1.

Sony's signature style works in its favour, and the big screen is great at this price, but the Xperia L doesn't do much else to take the win over similarly-priced rivals.
