Years or maybe months ago, the Sony Xperia L1 would have been considered a very stylish device. But it falls short when compared to the plethora of devices on the market with thinner bezels.
Sony Xperia L1 is also not near the slimmest or lightest at about 8.7 millimetres in thickness and 180 grams in weight. But Sony says it made this to fit perfectly into your hand.
The company provides a large, ‘high-quality’ 5.5-inch IPS display with a ‘loop surface design’ on the device. This offers you ample screen estate for content viewing. But a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels is, no doubt, not the perfect choice.
Camera and StorageYou get a 13 megapixel rear camera for capturing those memorable moments. It has an f/2.2 aperture, autofocus and LED flash. On the front is a wide-angle 5 megapixel selfie snapper. There is 16 GB of internal storage. The phone also accepts microSD cards having a capacity of up to 256 GB.
Performance and OSThe Sony Xperia L1 looks ready to offer the quality of performance satisfactory mainly to entry level users. It carries a quad-core MediaTek MT6737T chipset whose speed maxes at about 1.45 GHz. This combines with a Mali-T720 MP2 GPU and 2GB RAM. You may expect decent performance then, especially considering the available memory. Sony Xperia L1 boots a customised variant of Android 7.0 Nougat OS.
Other Specs and FeaturesFor power supply, you get a 2620mAh battery rated capable of giving nearly 13 hours of talk time. The Sony Xperia L1 offers 4G LTE (Cat. 4) connectivity for super fast mobile data speeds. One of its key selling features has to be a reversible USB Type-C connector. There is a Smart Cleaner feature that helps to make the device run faster by deactivating apps not in use and clearing cache.
Pricing and availabilitySony Xperia L1 is not yet available in Nigeria. It starts at a price of around $200. We currently have no data on pricing and availability for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, or any country for that matter. When available, Sony Xperia L1 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from 75,000 Naira to 115,000 Naira depending on your location in the country.

The sealed Pastor’s house
After Pastor Abiodun was accused of being involved with fetish activities in Ipinsa community, the traditional ruler of the community, Oba Omoniyi Olufunmilayo, on Tuesday ordered that Abiodun’s land in the community and his house located in the Ayedun area of Akure, to be sealed up.
Abiodun was accused of burying a coffin and some other fetish items on his piece of land in the community.
A source said after discovering what the pastor did on the land, the community asked him to remove the items, but he refused.
The source said, “The failure of the pastor to remove the fetish items on the land prompted the people of the community to take action against him.
“The Akapinsa of Ipinsaland, Oba Omoniyi Olufunmilayo, ordered that palm fronds should be placed in front of his house and the land, which traditionally means that the house has been sealed up until kabiyesi reverses the order.”
According to the source, the land and the house will remain sealed up until the pastor digs up and removes the items he buried in the land.
When contacted on the telephone, Oba Olufunmilayo said he would not make any comment on the development on the telephone.
He said, “If you want to talk to me, come and see me in my palace.”
The pastor was said to have left the community and his whereabouts was unknown as of the time of filing this report.

Michael David (armed robber)
A suspected armed robber, Michael David, has been arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State, after he robbed a lady, identified simply as Kate, of her phone.
It was gathered that 22-year-old David and two other members of his gang, while armed with a locally-made double-barrelled pistol, attacked Kate and her boyfriend, one Desmond, on Close 26, Satellite Town, Ijegun, around 10pm.
They were said to have taken Kate’s mobile phone and threatened to shoot the couple dead if they resisted.
He was said to have succeeded in pulling down David, as his girlfriend called for help.
Attempts by the suspect to shoot the victim failed, as the gun reportedly jammed.
The Imo State indigene was reportedly mobbed by residents, who handed him over to the police.
The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Edgal Imohimi, paraded David among seven other suspected robbers at the Police Officers’Mess, Ikeja, on Wednesday.
Imohimi said Desmond and Kate had closed from work and were heading home on August 13, 2017, when they were attacked by the robbers.
He said, “On August 13, 2017, at about 10pm, one Demond and Kate, both residents of Satellite Town, Ijegun, Lagos, were on their way home when they were attacked at Close 26, Satellite Town, by three armed robbers with one locally-made double-barrelled pistol. The suspects ordered them to surrender their phones or get shot. They dispossessed them of a mobile phone, valued at N39,000, and jumped on their standby motorcycle.
“But the man summoned courage and dragged one of them, Michael David, down from the motorcycle and with the help of passersby, the suspect was arrested and his gun taken away from him. The two other robbers escaped with the stolen property.”
The suspect, who claimed to be a tiler, said he was not the owner of the gun, adding that it belonged to his friend, one Ahmed.
David said his gang had only approached the girl to collect her phone, adding that he was not an armed robber.
He said, “We were coming from a friend’s party around the Waterside area on that day when we sighted the girl passing with her boyfriend. We went to meet her to collect her phone and she suddenly raised the alarm. My friends ran away, but I was caught. I was not caught with the gun. Two to three hours after the incident, some OPC members brought the gun and said it belonged to me. I am not an armed robber and we didn’t attack the girl; we only collected her phone.”
When, however, the Investigating Police Officer challenged him on his denial of the gun, he owned up.
The policeman explained that the suspect had attempted to shoot Desmond and his girlfriend dead when the gun jammed.
“He made an attempt to shoot at them, but the gun disappointed him. He was the one holding the gun,” he said.
In a related development, the police said five other suspects were arrested with five guns in the Egbeda area of Lagos State during another robbery on Wednesday, September 6, 2017.
The police identified the suspects as Musbau Gbadamosi, Kehinde Jimoh, Ayomide Ibile, Adekunle Rasheed and Ayodele Ojo.
PIt was learnt that police operatives received a tip-off on the activities of the men and swung into action, leading to their arrests.
The suspects, however, denied being robbers, saying they were local vigilance men and they used the guns for their work.
Jimoh said he was a filling station security guard and was wrongly accused.
He said, “On that morning at about 2am, Ojo, who is also a community guard, came to the filling station where I work in the Ikotun area. He said he wanted to buy fuel and I told him we had closed and don’t run 24 hours services.
“When I came out to further talk to him, some men just came out of the dark and held me. They said they were policemen and that I was under arrest. They requested my gun. I told them the gun was given to me by my boss.
“They said I belonged to a robbery gang and I told them it wasn’t true. I requested that I should be allowed to get my identity card from my room and also call the filling station manager, but they took me away. Since then, I have not been allowed to reach anyone. I know nothing about what they are saying.”
Another suspect, 61-year-old Adekunle, said he had been a guard in the Egbeda area for the past four years, adding that his gun was given to him by a former landlord association chairman, who was late.
He said, “I was only doing my job as a security guard before I was arrested. I am too old to be a robber. What I did not do in my youth; is it now that I am old that I will engage in it?”
