Some questions before buying Xperia L

[mothy1025]

Hello fellow Members.
I am using Defy plus for two years now I am planning to buy this phone but got some doubts about it.So kindly Give your Suggestions

1. Xperia L Has 228 ppi. Will the screen clarity will be very poor or reasonable?

2.Is there 2 versions of xperia L (C2104 and C2105).What is the difference between them.

3.It has 1750 mhz battery is it enough (mostly i will be using 3G browsing and some gaming, not a hard user) for a day or there is poor battery drain issue.

4.If we unlock the boot loader does the device has a high chance of bricking.Is it compulsory to unlock boot loader to install roms like CM MIUI. Because i dont have knowledge about unlocking bootloaders because my defy plus has locked bootloader so no knowledge about bootloaders.

5.Does xeperia L has good developer support because i am new to this side of the forum.I dont have knowledge about xperia developments.
I have never used Sony devices Share some Pro and Cons about this device.

Thanks

1: By my opinion is more that reasonable. It's pretty good.
2: The only difference between them is far as I know the the network frequencies or something like that. Cpu, GPU etc stay the same.
3: I playing a lot on my phone and uses 3G and it's enough for a day sometimes even more.
4: After unlocking the bootloader you will have to flash rom as the XL gets bootlooped after unlocking but flashing a rom it's pretty easy so don't worry you won't hardbrick you phone, it's only soft brick which is very easy to fixed
5: There are few people that developed kernels and rom's. Kernels are able to work below 2.17 firmware as there is a issue with a wifi. Of course if you don't use wifi you can flash it a 2.17. Also there is a development of CM.

Is unlocking bl is a must for installing custom rom ? And how about the build quality.Does XL gorilla Glass.

Depends on the rom. Some of them need custom kernel some don't. XL doesn't have a Gorilla Glass but had a scratch-resistant glass.
