Design

The Xperia L4 has a polycarbonate unibody construction, with Corning Gorilla Glass protecting the screen. The top bezel houses the earpiece, notification LED and various sensors, with a small cutout at the top of the display housing the front-facing camera. The fingerprint sensor, power button and volume rocker are located on the right side of the device opposite the SIM card tray, while the 3.5mm headphone jack is located on the top. The rear cameras are located at the upper left-hand corner of the phone, with the LED flash above. The bottom edge has the primary microphone and a downward-firing speaker next to the USB-C port. Two colors are available: black and blue.

It is available with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of eMMC storage; MicroSD card expansion is supported up to 512 GB with a single-SIM or hybrid dual-SIM setup. The display uses a 6.2-inch (157.5mm) 21:9 720p (1680 × 720) IPS LCD panel which results in a pixel density of 295 ppi. The L4 has a 3580mAh battery, slightly larger than the L3. Power and data connections are provided through the USB-C port. A triple camera setup is present on the rear, with a 13 MP primary sensor with PDAF, a 5 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor.
