The new flagship – Xperia™ ion

Yes, the rumour seems to turn out a real deal! Introducing Xperia™ ion by Sony (no longer with Ericsson)! woohoo! A standalone Sony branded Xperia is finally announced! Gods know how desperate and eager I’d waited for it like 2 months ago! All the rumours floating around the net made me gone excited from time to time whenever there is leak news ahead!

You see, I’m with my S.E K800i for like 5 years now, marking 6 this year! Been through death door with me twice and fall to the ground for like countless time but still manage to survive somehow. =.= Aside of that, the battery life couldn’t hold any longer than a day I’m afraid and sometimes calls/messages couldn’t reach so I guess its telling me to get over it! I originally wanted to pick Xperia™ Arc S 2 months back, till I found leak shots and rumors regarding new models for 2012!
Xperia™ ion is an impressive smartphone, and I am really excited by it. With an amazing (and really huge) 4.6 inch HD display (with Mobile BRAVIA Engine) it takes HD content viewing, game playing and web navigation to another level. The images really are brilliant and clear, and the sound experience is also really good, so watching HD movies is just amazing. And Xperia™ ion is also PlayStation™ Certified, so you know playing games will also be a really good experience! By the way, the PSP screen was only 4.3 inch! I just knew that.

Another feature that impressed me from the Xperia™ ion is the 12 MP HD camera, that  takes great photos, but not only that, it also takes photos really fast! With a new Fast Capture innovation that makes sure you never miss to capture any important moment in your life, the HD camera goes from standby mode to first shot in 1.5 seconds. And the pictures you take are crisp and brilliant. Also, both the front (1.3 MP) and the back- facing cameras deliver HD recording capabilities.

With HDMI and DNLA capabilities, Xperia™ ion provides easy connectivity  across multiple screens, so you can view, share, access and enjoy your content through your smartphone, TV, laptop or tablet.
Some of the key features for Xperia™ ion are:

• 4.6 inch HD Reality display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine, with HD resolution screen (1280 x 720), as well as rear (1080p) and front (720p) cameras for HD recording
• 1.5 GHz dual-core processor for fast browsing and content download, which can be stored on the internal 16GB flash storage.
• 12 MP rear camera with Sony Exmor R™ for mobile with fast/capture to go from standby to first shot in 1.5 seconds.
• HD sharing through DLNA, HDMI and BRAVIA sync to quickly and easily stream content to other screens.
• PlayStation™ Certified and access to entertainment services from Sony Entertainment Network, like Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited.

Specs:

• Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Dual Core Processor
• GPU Adreno 220
• 133 x 68 x 10.8 mm, 144 grams
• 4.55 inches 1280×720 pixels display with scratch-resistant Shatter proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass
• 1 GB RAM
• 16 GB Flash Memory
• Expansion slot microSD, up to 32 GB
• 12.1 MP camera
• 1.3 MP front camera
• 1900 mAh battery

I know. That’s one hell of a HUGE phone in hand! It includes all the feature I’d been waiting! The Arc S was a great piece of device seriously, but it couldn’t reach my satisfaction in few specs, 1080p recording, front cam, 512 RAM, etc… despite I really love the design of it. I think the Xperia™ ion will keep me another 5-6 years when Sony announce for the Asia Pacific! Im so gonna pick this up! Who needs an iPhone 5 when Xperia™ ion will rock 2012! :D

No offence Apple fans. I started to lose interest in it seriously despite I really love the unique and exclusive of IOS but with the ridiculous price tag on it, that’s seriously a biatch to me. xp
