-Minus water resistance MAY BE at the expense of lower speaker volume and may have heat issues (just predicting based on Z and ZL-sony may have sorted out now)

+Plus from @randomuser-
Read somewhere its releasing in june so ZR is out of picture already.
So, is SP the best choice in 25k range or there is a better one?

Yes SP is good.
You can look at S3 and One X+ if you are okay with buying a last year's device
S3 has better camera than SP and One X+ has a better screen than SP

Yes they have L in stock since this Saturday... I strongly doubt if the price of L is gonna drop even to 18k sometime soon..
P.S. From initial readings was really very optimistic with price of it ranging between 17-18k...

Used Xperia L
My Hands on review
Design
The design is quite good and feels good in hands, the side buttons are little hard to press, and the speakers located at the back
4.5/5
Display/UI
The UI is neat and clean,everything is layout nicely, coming to the display it was kinda disappointing to me compared to SP, well maybe as the cell was in Stamina mode?The Display wasn't so bright as such.
The text was crisp, keyboard layout was nice too, I could easily type.
Well, I will use the cell once more somewhere else to check out the display again(In full battery & brightness)
4/5
Camera
Ahh the camera,It wasn't as good as I expected at all, Sony surely created a HUGE HUGE Hype here, I tested some shots in the showroom the photos were just Okay,HDR mode dint make any difference to me(at least at indoor shots),Well what the hell,Maybe outdoor shots can be impressive?
3/5
Performance
Everything was snappy, and no lags at all.There was no game to test the gaming performance
5/5
Pricing
Well IMO, the phone is kinda overpriced I feel, The display of L9 is much much better than Xperia L, but in other ways Xperia L wins.Pricing should have been around 16.5k
I'm waiting for Igyaans hands on
The Phones good,but display & camera is kinda disappointing, I suggest you try the phone out and also wait for a price cut

For screen, go to settings and make sure the "Adapt to Ambient Light conditions" option is unchecked and then crank up the brightness.
For camera, use Manual mode and not Superior Auto. HDR is meant for outdoor only (when there is a scope for high dynamic range imaging)

Get Sony Xperia Sp after few months. Maybe HS18 can give some superdeals on SP as well. If all failed then Nokia 100 is only your hope

At the time of buying Sony Ericsson x10
I didn't know what android is
That a phone has a processor and ram and gpu
That it has gps
That it has a light sensor, proximity sensor, and notification led
That it has a resolution of 854x480
I thought of buying iphone 3g or 3gs
But shocked to see the price, display size and camera resolution(3.15mp vs 8mp)
Now I know everything and I have chosen the correct phone but it was a high end phone back then(1GHz OMG!) but now it is outdated...
SE humiliated its customers even though the hardware has capability to enable 16m colors, they didn't release the display drives for development of 16m colors in custom roms
They did not release camera drivers for video recording in JB(X10 CAN RUN JB)
They did not support bootloader unlocking even
Thinking of buying another xperia but don't know which is right for me
I need a good camera. Battery. No lags
Loud speaker and earpiece volume.
NO HEATING LIKE A COOKER/ OVEN
Sony must release cybershot( xenon flash esp)+ walkman+ cycle energy+ s master audio+ bravia+ xplod+ handycam[ very long video recording]
With future android updates for 10yrs or more
