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

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  • It's also held back by an old processor and an outdated OS

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.

Lightweight

All products work absolutely fine, however they are very lightweight and will not take any heavy handling. Like I said, it all works... but usually you get what you pay for and this was inexpensive.

Pros:
  • solid camera
  • fast data
Cons:
  • terrible battery life
  • poor display
  • sluggish performance
  • dated software

Item NOT as Discribed. Not an LT28i. You will receive an LT28at

The item as described, claims to be an LT28i, but none of the sellers that are using Amazon to fulfill the item are actually selling an LT28i. What is being shipped is a left over AT&T phone that is an older model and the package is being opened so that the phone can be unlocked.
