I was happy with my ION being my first Android phone, but when I was able to hold a faster, much bigger phone, and with the battery issue, I switched to Samsung. If I hadn't discovered the Note, I wouldn't have changed to Samsung.

Sony Xperia Ion (AT&T) review: Elegant smartphone stumbles

The $99.99 Sony Xperia Ion looks like a good Android deal but its weaknesses make it not worth even the budget price.
Cons:
  • Lackluster images and video belie the Xperia's claimed 12MP camera
  • It's also held back by an old processor and an outdated OS

Sony has managed to get a winner by its side with the Xperia ion in terms of performance. Where it does come up short is in price. At Rs 35,999, it is right alongside quad core driven devices like the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy SIII and is actually more expensive than LG's Optimus 4X HD.

Sony Xperia Ion is a decent smartphone, but having said that we must not forget that there are other phones available in the same segment at a lesser price. It's hard for us to recommend this smartphone in spite of its good performance and better battery life than its predecessors. At a price of Rs.
Pros:
  • Build quality
  • Battery life
Cons:
  • Notification LED too small
  • Average Camera Performance
  • Price

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PHONE!!!!

I absolutely LOVE this phone. The more I played with it, the more I liked it. I waited nearly two years to move from a flip phone to a smartphone because there was no other that I liked. I did not want to be an iPhone person and I am not fond of humongous phones such as Samsung or the HTC's.

Sony Xperia ion Review

S ony wasn't kidding around when they said they would only make smartphones and abandon feature phones completely. But we feel they've reached a point where it's a little ridiculous now and they seem to be getting really sloppy with their launches.
