Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Note II: Sizing upSony 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. To make the matters even...

I own this phone and it sucks in every possible way you can think of. The battery doesn't lasts half a day and to make things worse, it's fixed. The camera doesn't beats a good 8mp shooter. Images are so noisy in low light that you cannot just use them as wallpaper or pint them. Half of the time, video is focusing even when framing a stationery object. This phone cannot run temple run along with music player even when very few or even no programmes are running in the background. Sometimes, even chrome running alone crashes. The available ram is only 650 mb (which is very less then competitors) out of which, hardly 200 is free when no useless programme is running and yet every app from bowser to ps touch and from music player to a game crashes. The list can go on the whole day and night but i will just say: THE WORST PHONE I'VE EVER USED AND GOODBYE SONY YOU SUCK.

I just bought it, the body is very attractive, but I don't like android 2.3.7, all they go for ICS. Why Sony? U too late, no upgradable, I already use ics on many phones, S2, S3, HTC one X, GS Note... But when I see ion, love the body but old android. Plz upgrade to ics as fast as u can, so I maybe change

Why can't Sony Just get a phone to market in a timely manner. Looks like things havn't changed much since the Sony Ericsson days. For what it's worth I would surely Sony phones if they just put the latest hardware in them!. Looks wise they are the best phones out there.

Only an insane guy will recommend GS2 as an alternative to Xperia Ion.
GS2 is total garbage compared to Xperia Ion. Ion comes with a much better 720P true HD display, a much better camera, a better design. It's not really that hard to figure that out.
GB is ion's downside. But hey the beauty about sony phones is there is a thing called flash tool. And international version of Ion is already running ICS. It'll take you 5 minutes to flash official fully functional ICS ROM onto an AT&T Xperia Ion. For a $50 value, there is no single phone in the market that can beat the ion.

My roommate has an Xperia S unlocked and everyone stops to ask him what kind of phone it is. No one asks me about my Galaxy Nexus because no one notices curved glass or superior OS updates from far away.
The transparent line through devices is simply design genius and distinguishing through a sea of Android lookalikes.
Pick a theme and stick to it, Sony...

Your point which interpret that sgII is older but receive update faster is invalid due to ICS is not exist before both phone are made so they are start from the same point .
If really wan to say with that unreasonable way ,i can also say that sgII took 1 years to get update while xperia s tooks 3 months .

not good enough sony. why is no one working on the unsolved battery autonomy problem? all the manufacturers know that. why not at least 2500mah battery when they all know that average battery can barely make 12 hours of serious use?

SGS1 received 2.2 and 2.3 update months ahead of Xperia X10. That's just a true and anyone can check that fact.
Xperia X10 has similar specs to SGS1, yet it ended up getting nothing while SGS1 got something(value pack). That's just a fact as well.
Same story for SGS2 and Xperia S.
I didn't talk about all phones, but I just recommended anyone to buy flagships if they can afford and want proper "official" updates since all Android OS update requires high specs and the cheap phones aren't stable on this latest os. If you can't afford it then it's fine, but I'm just making my point by Samsung and HTC have better history of updating their flagships.
