I guess the E is for economy, coz by the looks it doesn't look much expensive..

So a breakdown of some stats:
MSM7227 Snapdragon processor (I assume 1 gHz max)
3.5 inch screen
3.2 MP camera
1500 mAh battery
Launching on JB (E dual will launch on ICS with JB update coming after. Thank you Felimenta97)
But there are no standout features except for possibly the dual SIM which was featured on another Xperia phone this year (Xperia tipo I think). If anyone wants to add on to the list feel free to do so.

I loved their phones until ericsson got bought by sony they launch 200 crappy phones a year all same design same specs literally...
Even the ion feels slow and needs better hardware to run their timescape ui..

They are the same as the Z ones. And your title doesn't say anything. You should change it to something different.

Exactly Felipe You can't expect an oem to release nothing but flagships, Sony is a company that provides phones for everyone.

Well, not anymore (in terms of specs, at least). E and J were the last very low end phone of their line. Now is just medium to high end. They want to be a premium company. Even their "low end" phones are gonna be medium ones. Wait for a event soon... (Not sure when, as looks like they won't be at MWC).

and still they decide to release FF OS for this particular device!

Sir you realize this is the Xperia S, Acro S, Ion forums....

Should I buy Ion?

I am a big Sony fan and my country don't have Xperia T. Should I buy Ion? This is the max I can pay and want to ask your reviews and cons. I read reviews but you guys know best since you been using much more time.

wait a bit more and see whether jelly bean is good or not, and then decide, although jelly bean for other sony 2012 phones are also somehow buggy
currently, i advice: DON'T BUY IT! unless you are fine with a slow and buggy and battery hungry phone

Battery hungry is an understatement
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

True, but the big screen is great for videos and gaming. Camera is decent and phone is well built and sturdy. Get the international version for the unlocked bootloader and more custom roms.

Just got it myself. I'm happy. Want my opinion? Just get it.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app

If you want custom or modded ROMs, you should buy Xperia S, SP. Or if you want a phone with better specs buy the Ion or Acro S.

Maybe you can take a look at HTC One S? It has got some decent specs. It has only 16 Gb inbuilt memory though and there is no MicroSD slot, but as you come from Xperia U, I think that it may be enough for you.

I really like my Ion, for the price it is amazing really. Even if you're stuck with 4.1, I think it's worth it. Or you could save up longer and get something with longer support.
Sent from my LT28at using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Get SP, Ion is getting outdated for now.

Actually SP I can't pay that much. In my country which is India price difference is there a lot between two. I would had gone for SL but it has 26 gb storage with no memory card slot, As for one S it's spec aren't as good as Ion.

The ion is a great phone, if you can unlock you bootloader. I like my ion but with an unlockable bootloader I'm just bored as hell. For me, my future phone choice will come down to bootloader status as much as specs.
Having high end components but not be able to do anything with them is pointless.

It's up to u,if u care about the size of screen, u can choose it but jelly bean update for ion not yet released by xperia.

Ion has got micro HDMI on the same side as the usb (useful for doking it) and micro SD card for more MP3 and video.

Well, if you're talking about display, camera and other features, then yes. However, performance of the One S is much better because of the Krait processor and Andreno 225 GPU.

Don't bother with the HTC one s unless you want to be part of the disgusting home button bug. It's annoying and hardware fault. I WAS gonna get that phone to. Google search and YouTube that bug before considering that phone.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app

thanks for all your replies..the only thing thats holding me back now after seeing all views is limited development for Ion.

Dude, get it.
It's a beautiful phone and since ur getting it in India the bootloader will be unlockable.
As far as development is concerned, yes ion has a very less choice.. But devs have brought the major roms cm, pa and slimbean also better stock kernels.... As far as other mods are concerned most of the xperia s ones are usable, like u had in xperia p, u and go.
Oh and the screen is awesome.

How different is the xperia zl from the xperia z?

I read somewhere that they are identical software wise and that you can use Rom s for the z on the zl, is that true?

They are nearly identical but you can't use Z rom on ZL and other way around

u can use the mods though :silly:

Xperia z is waterproof, but in most of countries IT is not LTE capable
Xperia zL comes with LTE everywhere, but it's not water resistant.
I just bought my ZL and it's better than ehat I thought

I got me an ZL too. Just wished it had a bit more development around here :/

what would you get next?

just noticed my contract is up after Xmas, so was looking at what next?
xperia z1, galaxy s4 or nexus 5?
or another?
I'm currently swaying towards the nexus, but I love that the z1 is water proof

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..

Id get me a ZU

Ugh camera... (only downside)

Sonys amazing ram management
Or even a nexus 5 it has that google support behind it

Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

@Ben36 Nexus 5 any day better than other options... U will be the first 1 to get all android updates
If u are considering Samsung, Note 3 is what I would suggest... screen quality is way better than SGS4 or Xperia Z1

I think definitely the nexus is the one too. unless there's anything due out that would be worth waiting for?

I would go for Z1...

Go for nexus
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Aren't you people bored of Sony smartphones? I change manufacturer everytime, because I always need something new, something fresh, and Sony changes only hardware, software is basically the same for all their smartphones.

go for nexus if u want fast and latest android,samsung for heavy features that u mostly wont use and sluggish ui,sony is good but their software doesnt utilise the hardware,they dont use it in good way,and no timely updates.move to nokia lumia series if u dont want a smartphone hahahaha and iphone if u dont like messing with your phone :silly: for now nexus 5 or wait till xperia Z2(long time but our xperia s isnt slouch yet).i am just sad no good roms yet for xperia s,few are good but not as expected

so Nokia Lumia it is!

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..

never buy sony phone.As you buy it ,you will be disappointed.No good rom,no better service,also they will not give you any update when the phone is old,even one years old devise.

thats weird because SP is cheaper than ION here in my country. I think there are better choices out there. You may want to look on mediatek powered phones. they are much cheaper than qualcomm. I'm not sure of the built quality though. I'm on a rebranded micromax a114 right now and its working good and awesome, they're almost half the price of international brands

any positive opinion???

If you can get it in your country, the xiaomi redmi is right within your budget. Even the Xperia V is a great alternative. Ion has a snapdragon s3, so it's a fact that it is slower and more power hungry than even the 1st gen s4 processors.

It depends on what you expect from it.
If you're aiming for software updates or installing latest apps or a bug free experience then stay away from the phone.
Camera is ok.
Touchscreen isnt that great but ok ok.
You can install latest custom roms but dont expect bug free experience.
