Playing it smart: the Sony Xperia Ion review
After Sony bought out the mobile portion of its longtime Sony-Ericsson partnership, the company decided to join the smartphone war in earnest. If we don't count the niche Xperia Play , Sony is dreadfully late to the party, especially for a company that seeks to make as many of the screens a human...
Pros:
- Screen has excellent level of detail
- Body looks pretty nice
- when the brushed metal back isn't covered in fingerprints
- Overall performance
- soft key interactions aside
- is very fluid
- Camera takes great photos in good lighting situations
Cons:
- The soft keys
- Why are they so difficult? Just accept my loving taps, Indoor photos, a bit meh for a 12-megapixel camera, Speaker should be ashamed of itself

Did you just skip to this section? No, of course you shouldn't. The phone is beautiful on the outside but it runs like a dog turd in snow-melt. Maaaaybe it'll help when it upgrades to Android 4.0 (if Sony doesn't butcher it with its rather unappealing skin), but the fact that it's this far behind...

Sony Xperia ion for AT&T review: US Xperiance
Sony was the talk of town during CES 2012 back in January and the Xperia ion for AT&T was among the main reasons why. Launched alongside the Xperia S, the Sony Xperia ion took the great honor of being the company's first LTE smartphone.

- Scratch-resistant glass, Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion
Cons:
- Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread out of the box doesn't cut it for a high-end device this far into 2012
- Display has sub-par side viewing angles
- Underwhelming front touch buttons and side camera key
- Non-user replaceable battery

Sony Xperia ion review (video)
The Xperia ion, despite being a decent Android phone, does not live up to its potential. Either due to aging hardware or aged software, the combination puts it miles behind the reigning Galaxy S III and One X in terms of performance, battery life and overall usability.

How does this smartphone stack up against the One X and Galaxy S III? The Ion's late arrival hasn't helped its case. The One X and the Galaxy S III have been in the market for a while now, and marketing and advertising blitzkriegs by their proprietors has ensured that they have been etched as...

Hands-on Review: Sony Xperia Ion
There's a million smartphones out there, but Sony is trying to make its new Xperia Ion stand out from the crowd. It's got slick styling, excellent specs and a number of novel surprises.

It is difficult to fault the Xperia Ion in terms of its build quality or looks and there are no glaring omissions in the phone. What is missing is an extra layer of polish in the software which would have helped evade the fairly common lockups and forced closes.

Sony Xperia Ion is one of the best smartphones in terms of build and design. The phone performs moderately well in terms of processing capabilities. The camera and battery life are the 2 advantages of this phone over other android smartphones.
