Sony Xperia ion reviews specs
Sony Ericsson have had trouble making real headway in the US market, so it’s a little surprising that Sony want to make their LTE debut with a device that’s still running last year’s flavor of Android. There will undoubtedly be an Android 4.0 update for the ion soon after launch but the delay is probably down to additional carrier testing.
With that out the way, let’s look at the ion’s impressive spec sheet. The first and most notable element is the ion’s 4.6″ Reality display, which promises a 1280×720 HD resolution and with the mobile version of Sony’s BRAVIA Engine in tow, the combination could make for one of the best viewing experiences around (we’ll reserve judgement on that one however until we see it for ourselves).

Filmon : Good Spec but unfortunately it is only available in US. Will it support SDXC card ? Few Draw back in this model so please upgrade the phone and release to worldwide. Secondary camera -2MP. Battery to 2200mAh OS- Android OS,v4.0
progs : Well, about the 1.5GHz processor, you guys might considering using 2500 mAh for you not to charge from time to time hehehe. But everything is awesome !! I got freaked out when I got the news about this unit. I’m using Xperia Ray and hoping this unit …
cnick : Wait until MWC at Barcelona when Samsung surely gonna bring Galaxy S3 to blow it away. I don’t like Samsung (built quality for their flagships is junk ) but that doesn’t make Sony the best. It’s like whwn Galaxy S2 blowed away Iphone 4 … then, Iphone 4s appeared(returned the blow)
bogbog : Wow, the battery life is terrible! How are so many people actually interested in this thing? Looks-wise it just looks like another boring black brick of a phone.
12 hours only for music playback? 4 hours only for 3G talk time? This thing is a joke!
