Sony Xperia Ion : Launched for Indian Stores

Sony Xperia Ion, which established its U.S. store debut recently, has been released in India for a selling price label of Rs. 35,999/-

Sony Mobiles we think is providing the pricing absolutely wrong as the handset runs somewhat older Android Gingerbread and is operated by the same Dual Core processor as in the Sony Xperia S. The Sony Xperia Ion is at feet to the newest trend of smart phones consisting of large displays, with its 4.6-inch LCD display screen and donning a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. However we don’t feel the pricing is ideal as you will most likely purchase a HTC One X at the same cost.Some of the features of Sony Xperia Ion are as follows

• Operating System – Android OS, v 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• Processor – 1.5 GHz Dual-core, Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon
• Graphics – Adreno 220
• Screen - LED-backlit LCD, capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
• Screen Features - Scratch Resistant glass, Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine, Timescape UI
• Display -720 x 1280 pixels, 4.55 inches (~323 ppi pixel density)
• Colors – Black, White
• Primary Rear Camera – 12 MP, 4000×3000 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
• Camera Features – Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, 3D sweep panorama, image stabilization
• Secondary Front Camera – Yes, 1.3 MP, 720p@30fps
• Video – Yes, 1080p@30fps, continuous autofocus, video light, video stabilizer
• Memory – 1 GB RAM
• Storage - 16 GB storage, Expansion via microSD (TransFlash) up to 32GB
• Connectivity – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth V3, USB 2.0
• Battery - Standard battery, Li-Ion 1900 mAh
• Weight – 144 gm
• Dimensions – 133 x 68 x 10.8 mm

Despite the fact that the Sony Xperia Ion features a larger display and microSD card expansion slot when compared to the Sony Xperia S. But overall, the handset disappoints. Moreover one important thing to note here is that Sony Xperia Ion that has been announced for U.S. markets had 4G LTE connection and absolutely nothing is apparent whether the Indian edition has it or not.
The price of Sony Xperia Ion in India is Rs.35,999 .
