Sony Xperia Ion: Sonys Best Android Phone Yet

          


Sonys Previous Xperia Android phones have not really impressed me much,quality was lacking as was the Sony's front end u.i.At C.E.S this year though i happened to have heard something about the Sony Xperia Ion while in a meeting and had to go and see for myself what the fuss was about and i must say i was blown away.


Lets look at the Tech specs first..First off, it will be a 4G LTE(U.S) device, which is huge.Sporting a 4.6-inch 720p screen, the display is nothing short of stunning, and as it's powered by a 1.5GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor. A striking 12-megapixel camera is touted out back which we sampled a few pictures with and the results where the best Ive seen on any Smartphone the Sony Exmor R CMOS lens was doing a superb job of capturing some high quality pictures and with a 1gig of ram on board and 16gig internal memory..its is running Gingerbread but ICS WILL be ready for the phone soon after release..why not delay it till its ready come on Sony..
Seen have a clear winner here and yes the build quality and the fact it was stick thin also helped with its Visual appeal and finally Sony are getting to grips with there U.I and it only added to the Android experience instead of slowing it down..a great phone Sony well done and on Pre-order already at  Negri Electronics,we should see it in Europe and elsewhere in late February and indeed its smalling sibling the Sony Xperia S Is now due in early Feb.
