Sony Xperia ion review
It's been over five months since we first saw Sony's Xperia ion for AT&T, an Android device with LTE and a lot to prove. The Xperia line hasn't had much success here in the US, thanks in no small part to delayed launches and underwhelming hardware.
Pros:
- Great 720p screen
- Solid
- well-built
- LTE
Cons:
- Android 2.3
- Camera doesn't live up to its megapixels
- S3 processor

Review from CES 2012: In addition to the Xperia S smartphone, we also saw Sony announce the Xperia ion. And similar to our hands on gallery with the Sony Xperia S, we also spent a few minutes with the ion. Though while nice, we have to say that it was not quite as fancy looking as the Xperia S.

Sony Xperia Ion Review
The Sony Xperia Ion's persona makes you a fan instantly, and has no visible flaws as a phone. It has good looks and stable performance, while presenting you with excellent call clarity and fairly good battery life. However, things start to go wrong the moment the price tag comes into consideration.
Pros:
- Very well built
- Excellent call quality
- 720p display is very crisp
- Very pocket able despite bigger display
- Classy and understated design elements
- Camera quality brilliant in good lighting
- Good battery life
- Android ICS out of the box
Cons:
- Dual core processor fighting the quad cores
- Brings us to the point of the perplexing price tag
- Display doesn't have colour punch of an AMOLED

Sony Xperia ion
The Sony Xperia ion is one of the most powerful Android smartphones available in its price range. The only problem with it is that it is driving an older version of the Android software, one that is more than one clean step behind the latest flavor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
