Sony Xperia Ion (AT&T) review: Elegant smartphone stumbles
Even the Xperia's 12-megapixel camera can't hold a candle to the imaging systems on those high-powered gadgets. A better choice is the Nokia Lumia 900, which for the same price has a more attractive design and better camera.

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- It's also held back by an old processor and an outdated OS

The Sony Xperia Ion is a sweet phone for a great price that's just not getting enough love. For $99 you get an award winning design with a sleek glass front and curved metal back, LTE 4G and a 12MP camera. And you thought the once $99 Nokia Lumia was a good deal? The Ion tops it for hardware specs.

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.
