Sony Xperia Ion is a little outdated Android cellphone released many years ago, having a powerful Dual-Core processor ticking at 1500 megahertz, a medium sized 4.5-inches screen, and two cameras, a 12.1 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's specifications when we get into deeper details.
Sony decided to power the Sony Xperia Ion using a great performance 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processor with 1 GB of RAM. A nice advantage of this phone is its quite large 16 GB internal storage memory and a slot for external memory cards, allowing you to store hundreds of applications without any trouble.
Though this cellphone is very slim and comfortable it's not so slim as many other phones you can find, with a thickness of 0.42 inches. This device is quite a compact phone, considering it packs a 4.5" screen and it has just 5.2" long and 2.68 inches wide. Sony appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 5.08 oz phone. Sony justmade the Sony Xperia Ion in color black.
This phone is equipped with an awesome 4.5-inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look brightful and colorful. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.
This cellphone offers wi-fi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a modem or router), LTE (4G) high performance internet connection and 3G fast data connection, using HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia Ion works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
The Sony Xperia Ion has two cameras, a 12.1 megapixels back side camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. This phone can also shoot 1920x1080 Full HD videos. The camera also includes a couple of useful features like auto-focus, flash, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.
This phone also features plenty of interesting features as NFC, Bluetooth, GPS and Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
The Sony Xperia Ion comes with a mid capacity 1900 mAh battery that provides this phone a quite short battery life comparing with other similar phones. Sony says this phone has a talk time of 10 hours and a stand by time of 400 hours.
This phone is a little bit overpriced considering it is priced $ 125, while other similar cellphones cost less than that. No matter if you want it mostly for internet broswing and social networks, need it for work or are looking for a phone for playing games, you will definitely be very pleased with this phone.
