TNI Bureau: The new Sony Xperia SL is not that much exciting as the gadget can hardly be tagged as an up-gradation of its predecessor Xperia S that was released April this year. The device only boasts of a slightly faster Processor and an Android 4.O.
Sony Xperia SL comes pre-installed with OfficeSuite 6 which you can upgrade to support a couple of new features like printing documents, converting text documents to PDF and an in-built spell check.
Sony Xperia S had created a buzz for its 12 MP camera. However, in this new release, we are getting nothing extra for the snapper. Like its predecessor the camera can capture 3D shots via HDMI.
