Doesn't look like it has NFC, is that really true?
Yes, it does not have NFC
Sent from my ASUS_A001 using XDA-Developers mobile app
That's a real bummer, I wonder why especially at this point in time when pretty much all new phones have it, this is the biggest reason preventing me from buying it, I'm really used to using it on my Nexus 6, although I don't think any of the >6in phablets have it for some reason.
No NFC but i can still connect to Bluetooth devices, remotes and aptx audio dac. Ive been waiting since may to buy this and received this morning, already setup and impressed alot, came from a sony z ultra and sony xperia z3 tablet compact, just trying to fix problems with kodi 16.1 and creative sound blaster e5 through qualcomm aptx bluetooth issues.

Do you use music much on this phone? Do you like it?
I notice it has xLoud, Clear Phase, Clear Bass, Clear Stereo, Surround Sound and Clear Audio. I understand that sometimes these things can be gimmicks / marketing junk but sometimes they can be useful. This is a good feature set for music lovers.
I notice that on GSM Arena tests that they rate the audio quality highly. I follow their guides often but not always. Audio quality is also subjective and occasionally I disagree with their conclusions. (e.g. X10 Mini). They rate the audio quality here if you wish to view it: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_l-review-934p7.php
Obviously the sound quality is fantastic. It is one of the best on a phone I have ever heard.
It doesn't beat my friends Stereo Beats Audio Speakers in HTC One but I'm satisfied with it them. I can agree with above that it is the best on a phone I have ever heared.
That is really impressive. Maybe the audio is underrated on this phone. And hello fellow Paddy!
Sound quality is quite good with both speaker an earphones thanks to settings included by Sony. The sound is incredibly loud with integrated speaker and does not show any sign of weakness. The sound is so loud that I don't need XLoud.
But the speaker is quite focused on high tones. That's the only "bad" thing.
I enabled xLOUD and I find my speaker too loud even on lowest setting when using Vine i. e.
But sound quality in Walkman and Poweramp I just superb. Even with my uber crappy earbuds

For a lower range device Xperia l really got impressive speakers

I am not satisfied. My old w880i was far fuller than this. The earpiece is so lousy. The bonus headphone that came with the phone wasn't helpful either. A 10 year old megabass earpiece sounded so much better. Eventually, I just had to ditch it in favor of the much better xperia C.

I'm only talking about the audio quality. There are other reasons why I dumped the L (lousy cam as well). But I can say with certainty that the audio on the C is better. Perhaps it's in the headsets. I wouldn't have dumped the L if I weren't happy with it. Because it's a sony, the walkman app is a big draw for me, so if i'm not happy with it, i'm most likely going to either try another model, or buy another brand altogether. But i'm now VERY happy with the C, despite having less features and not having a loud xloud speaker.
audio quality on L
Another possible reason why sony bundled a better sounding earpiece is that the C is capable of playing .flac files. Haven't tried whether the L could or couldn't since i've dumped it already... It's not in the official specs of the L, so i'll assume it can't...
phone history: motorola microtac - dead and gone. ericsson ga628 dead. ericsson g688 died of old age. ericsson r520 still working but no back light. ericsson t68i - stolen ericsson t630 dead. sonyericsson s600 dead. sonyericsson k750i irrepairable flex. sonyericsson w800 flex problem. walkman 880i stolen . Nokia n8 - still working
Just bought Xperia L
Walkman app is very good.
Audio quality is very good too, i have a previous S3 and Nexus S which is on wolfson, with voodoo sound(used the bundled S3 headpiece on both), coming from it i know the difference, I though the Xperia L has bad audio quality, but its on the bundled sony headset, even the free Headphone not so good, but when i plugged in my samsung S3 headset, it was good, didn't know the difference from my wolfson powered S3 and Nexus S.
For a midrange phone, 2mp on front should be the norm, my LG optimus black has it. Slow autofocus too. so avoid the phone shake while waiting for the slow autofocus, the dedicated camera button is tough to press, shaking the phone while pressing it.
Cons: slow autofocus, front camera, bad bundled headset.
Pros: everything not on cons for its price, i like the audio, battery, net integration, gps, screen size, form factor and design.
Hello XZ owners!
I was wondering what the quality of the DAC is on this phone?
I'm looking for phones that have good quality sound/DAC like the axon 7 that doesn't require me to tweak with Viper.
I like the XZ because it's water resistant, micro SD, and allegedly has hi-fi DAC. And Sony is apparently somewhat dev friendly.
Considering selling my OnePlus 3 for this phone, or picking it up as a phone to take out on the weekends.
Any feedback is appreciated.
For me sound quality is as good as it should be. But sound is very subiective, i would recomend to take ur faverite music(flac or what ever format u prefer) on sd card, ur hf and go to retail store which is offering sony and try it by your self. I persoally didnt herd better music like xperia xz and sony mdr-zx770bn, aptx compression is what needed.
Well the volume is not the highest, quality wise its ok but not the best also, its not on the iPhone level lets say. But I'm no sound expert by any means, I'm just comparing sound on the same ear/headphones.
I believe Samsung, LG and HTC have better sound, but its been a while since I used them so I'm not sure.
I would say that since the Nougat Update its very good ! Im using Shure SE215 and I hear no hiss at all (Before Update a bit, after the update none (if only music is played )). Im also owning the A35 Walkman from Sony and I would say that the XZ is very good if you think about it as a Phone and not as a DAP, as a DAP It would be still very nice !

I don't mean to be disrespectful in anyway, but i think the consensus is HTC and LG have much better DAC than Samsung. It's somewhat subjective, but when you compare the v20 and HTC 10 and AXON 7, they have the best sound on flagship phones lately. Thanks for your input ?
Has anyone used any Bluetooth 5 or aptX HD bluetooth head phones with this device yet? I am needing some in ear bluetooth headphones but not really seeing anything on either of these two now that they are available/enabled on our devices. I know there are not really many options yet but curious if there are any early adopters that can give some insight
Anyone have any reviews? Looking for good audio quality but really not wanting to spend money if there really isnt much improvement.
8.1 (I think) brought aptX HD compatibility. I have a bluetooth headset that connects with aptX HD and it works fine.

8.1 has aptX for sure. Don't have aptX HD headphones, but pretty sure it works too! I got Major II headphones (aptX) and the sound is great if you ask me.
/\ Interesting, thanks for the screen grabs. I didnt realize LDAC was available on non-sony devices. I may have to include them in my headphone search.
My Sony WH-1000XM2 work mighty fine with LDAC on the PH-1.

glad to hear that, ill be checking out some of their in ear versions. I want something i can be a bit more active in vs full on/over ear but happy to have another higher quality option to look into
Apt X HD isn't a brand new codec like some people here seem to think but it's more widely supported on Android Oreo. I have used Bluetooth headphones on this phone with Apt X, Apt X HD and SBC. The Bluetooth version the headphones use is more important than the codec. Bluetooth headphones with Apt X and BT 4.1 are far preferable to ones with Apt X HD and BT 4.0. Don't buy any BT 4.0 headphones even if they seem like a fantastic deal or they get great reviews. BT 4.1 transmits data far more quickly than 4.0 and is much better suited for listening to music. BT 4.0 is also susceptible to interference from the phone's data signal and other sources. That's much less of an issue with 4.1.

Well so far these sound the most interesting, bluetooth 4.1 but they support all of these formats: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC
Would let me play around and listen for which sound best to my ears
I just got the EarStudio ES100 which has dual DACs and supports AptX HD so you can use any of your favorite wired phones with it. If you want don't need the dual DACs, there's plenty of AptX HD receivers on Amazon as well.
LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100 support APTX-HD. They have been working great for me. 10 hour battery life and great sound quality.
Hello,
i recently broke my XZP (shame on me). As repairing is too expensive, i'm looking for an alternative phone (as there's no Android 10 etc. it doesnt really make that much sense to buy an XZP again).
It's a shame that newer Sony phones have too much downsides.
XZ2,XZ2P,XZ3 have no audio jack & this ugly fingerprint sensor on the back.
Xperia 1 & 5 have an 21:9 Display which is (imo) a useless Format.
So any recommendations for similar Phones to the XZP from other companys
Thanks in advance
Buy another another XZP, different colour
ehm first u can get xzp for under 200 bucks, secondly there will be android10 roms for xzp kinda soon. Carbonrom and ZfSODP both already told they are working on it. After them im sure Lineage and GamerromOS will come.
Just got an LG G7 now. Was nearly the same price as the XZ Premium but has got a better Processor + Qi charging and will get official Android 10
g7 maybe
Hi all,
I just bought the Google Pixel 6a, as I coudn't resist the offer of a free Pixel buds with the phone. So... Waiting for my new phone, specially because I wanted a better camera phone as the Xperia 10 II is getting older and camera is terrible, and I don't see a very good improvement with the Xperia 10 IV and it has a very high price tag compared to the Pixel 6a that is cheaper.
I will miss the micro sd card slot, the headphone jack and notification led, but I will keep my Xperia as Hi-Res music player.

Get yourself a good dongle DAC and the headphone jack becomes obsolete. There are lots out there for under $50 that sound fantastic.

I was considering buy one, but I was reading that the Pixel 6 series has issues with some DACs, I don't know if still there some issues or was solved by Google.
Headphones jack will never be obsolete, it just changed the consumer target, they are more for audiophiles.

Yep, definite audiophile here and Ive had zero issues using one on the this phone or my 3a. Using one produces FAR better and more powerful sound vs the headphone jack. I dont ever see myself not using wired headphones for serious listening.
