Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
The speaker on the Xperia TL does not get very loud, even at the highest volume setting, though there is little distortion. We noticed that at lower volumes the speaker could sound a bit muffled and the bass was weak, but otherwise it was adequate. Like so many phones, it's somewhat inconveniently placed on the back at the bottom center, so your hand will more or less always be covering it. Actual phone call quality is likewise fine, but not mindblowing.
Inside the Xperia TL is a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait CPU, Adreno 225 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 4G LTE chip. When it comes to performance, the Xperia TL delivers middling-to-low numbers compared to its contemporaries. It scores around 1600 in the Sunspider Javascript benchmark. It fares slightly better with Google's Octane benchmark, with a score of 1430 compared to the Optimus G's 1627, the Galaxy S III's 1645, and the iPhone 5's 1298 (the phone's Javascript engine does not support typed arrays, so the benchmark returns an "incomplete" message at the end).
The phone is more middle-of-the-pack in GLBenchmark: 13 and 28 frames per second in the offscreen Egypt HD and classic tests, and 20 and 50 frames per second for the offscreen test. This puts it in roughly the same performance league as the Galaxy S III, but far off from the Optimus G and the iPhone 5. So not Bond.
Sony quotes the Xperia TL's battery such as Fujitsu FPCBP80 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP77 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP68 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP63 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP95 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP36 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B2566 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B2620 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP37 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B2175 Battery, , Fujitsu LifeBook M1010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP207 Battery at 1850mAh, or about seven hours of talk time, 16 hours of music playback, five hours of video, or 450 hours of standby—not the most reassuring of figures. But in our video tests, we found that the phone actually performed better than estimates, with about six hours and 15 minutes of movies at 50 percent brightness and 100 percent volume. Turning the brightness all the way up would temper that figure a bit, but the screen looks sufficiently bright in most situations when only turned up halfway.
In regular use, with some moderate e-mailing, messaging, Web browsing, the occasional app download, and short YouTube-watching session, we found the phone was fresh out of battery by the end of the work day. It lasted between eight and nine hours. Android phones are still mixed bags when it comes to battery life, so the Xperia TL isn't alone in this offense, but we think buyers can expect to be annoyed by the insufficient battery.
It's hard to buy this phone as The Bond Phone when the price is set at a modest $99.99 with two-year contract on AT&T, but we played along for a bit to see if there was any substance behind the name. Sadly, the Bond Phone holds only so-so performance, a decent but not-great camera, and an ambitious body design that ends up being more form than function. The only Bond that Q might bequeath such a modest handset to is Peter Sellers.
