How to update your Sony device →
This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Sony Xperia L3. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Sony Xperia L3 in detail
How many years of updates does the Sony Xperia L3 get?
Released in February 2019, the Sony Xperia L3 received security patches until December 2020: 1 year and 10 months in total.
Among the 24 Sony phones in our database, 2 were supported for less time and 20 for longer. The median is 2 years and 6 months.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 5 years and 10 months ago.
Can I keep using the Sony Xperia L3?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after December 2020 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
