The Xperia Ion is not a bad handset, but it does feel about six months old. This is likely because it was at the Consumer Electronics Show. Many things have changed since then, but the processor and operating system on the Ion have not. This phone runs...

Quad-band GSM /GPRS/EDGE support ; Tri-band 3G with 21Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA ; Category 3 LTE network connectivity ; 4.6" 16M-color capacitive LED-backlit LCD touchscreen of 720p resolution (720 x 1280 pixels) with Sony Mobile BRAVIA engine;...

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

Let's be honest here - Sony missed a great opportunity with the Xperia ion for AT&T. Had the device hit the shelves shortly after its announcement, it would have enjoyed a flagship status and a higher price tag, along with the potential for selling in...

Gorgeous 720p display ; HDMI out experience is intuitive ; Battery life holds up well under daily usage

Build makes for uncomfortable fit, in hand ; Inconsistent LTE speeds ; Ships with outdated Snapdragon S3 processor and Android Gingerbread

Sony's Xperia Ion is a dependable device that heavily plays up HD, but falters with a mix of old and new specs.

All told the Xperia Ion doesn't quite manage to wow us, but it's certainly a very capable handset that is sure to be a sound investment when it arrives in the Spring.

Great looking screen ; Takes above average pictures

Ships running an old OS ; Navigation buttons don't always work

The Sony Xperia Ion sounds impressive on paper, but has a few shortcomings that keep it from being on top.

Sony delivers a flagship-worthy CPU, display and camera at a mid-range 0 price point. Quality materials make the phone feel durable. Nice touchscreen display. Hooking it up to an HDTV launches a minimalist, big-screen-friendly interface

Has all the personality of a Ford Taurus. Outdated, clunky design. It runs last year’s operating system (Gingerbread? Really?), making the whole experience feel behind the times

Great 720p screen ; Solid, well-built ; LTE

Android 2.3 ; Camera doesn't live up to its megapixels ; S3 processor

Mid-range phones are all about compromise, and the Xperia ion is definitely compromised

Can be operated with a TV remote. 12-megapixel camera. NFC. Solid build.

Runs older version of Android. Poor phone call quality. Too much non-HD video bloatware. Bugs.

Of course, this being Android, it's compatible with all the 400,000-plus Android apps. Sony has made an unusually strong commitment to updating its phones, which makes us hope for an Android 4.0 update soon. But it's still disappointing that the phone...
