Before the sale will appear by Sony Xperia TX, it is Ion that is the flagship of the company's mobile division. Let's see what it is for the device than he will delight or grieves.

Design, construction

If Sony Xperia Acro s arrived to us straight from Japan, ION is a product originally created for the US market. It should be understood that for any company producing smartphones, to make a joint project with American operators means a kind of victory - the gravity of the circulation, great and glory. Orders are rather big, as a rule, this is hundreds of thousands of pieces. The device in question was sold (for sale) at the AT & T operator, the decision to supply to Russia is rather strange - as the appearance of Ion on sale confuses the cards in the Xperia line. I don't think there are many people who are ready to understand in what is happening with Xperia, many still think that the most from Sony now is Xperia S. In fact, before the appearance of TX, it is Ion to remain the most The most apparatus from Sony. Due to the size of the display, characteristics, cameras. I do not know how good it is or bad, simply state the fact.

The apparatus itself, to put it mildly, is great. Singing weightpath. Comes in ordinary packaging, there are two colors of the housing, black and red, I got red. It is curious that let me never walk with a smartphone of this color, but he is not at all feminine - consider here it is not a gentle red and not crimson, but dark red. The entire front of the black, red battery lid and velvety plastic area from above and below. Behind you can see the traditional logo, under it the inscription Xperia. The design of the photographic area, a large lens of the camera, under it - a flash circle, below - a field with perforation, there is a microphone. On the left end there is a massive plug, hidmi and microusb connectors under it, on top end - 3.5 mm connector. Accessories for Apple, it seems, should approach, the EarPod headset does not work. Above the display is the front camera lens, spoken speaker, lighting and approximation sensors. There is a small light indicator, it flashes if something happens to the device, for example, during charging.

Dimensions are 133 x 68 x 10.8 mm, weight 144 grams. In black color, this smartphone looks much better, there is one good additive - almost the entire back is made of metal. As for the size, it is easy to explain everything here - ION is impressive and quality of the display. In general, this device can safely attribute to the category of mini-tablets just because of the screen. Naturally, in terms of permission, there was a step forward in a number of devices, and Ion is not on the wavelength here, but the screen is still good.

Comparison with Apple iPhone

To insert a Microsim and MicroSD card into the phone, you need to remove the upper plug, just pull it out. The assembly of the smartphone is good, nothing creaks and does not crack, no extra gaps too. I used the device as the second phone for quite a long time, during this time nothing terrible with the body did not happen, except that the paint was lightly laid out from the frame around the camera lens.

Display

As I said, the TFT-display diagonal is 4.55 inches, resolution - 1280 x 720 points. Protects the glass screen, the glass is not subject to scratches, there is an imperceptible to the user film, as in many other Sony devices. Capacitive type screen, Multitouch is supported, four fingers maximum. In my opinion, the screen is good for the current standards, everything is in order with the viewing angles, colors, contrast. If you are used to watching the video on the road, then the smartphone with such a display will help in the ceremony of beginner, the same can be said about viewing sites, and about games, and about working with programs. The size matters, and the device with a 4.5 inches display is really slightly beyond the framework - it is not clear how to call such a device. After all, it is already really a thing at the junction of the world of smartphones and the world of tablets.

But the display of the screen size is the size of the housing. And before buying, I would recommend twist Ion in my hands. There was no one person who would not say: "What a healthy shovel".

Control

On the right end is the power button, just below - the volume rocker. Given the fact that the ends here are bevelled here, pressing these buttons is not very convenient, plus they have no deep move. Need to adapt. Below on the right end there is a camera button, it's very cool, many of us are used to using a hardware control for shooting. If the display is blocked, you can click and hold the button, the camera starts and immediately makes the frame. The camera can be launched and shifting the unlock slider is not right, but to the left.

The display is traditional for Android four buttons, this is the call of the additional menu, Home, Return and Search. Touch buttons, highlighted, under them strips. Sony had a corporate trait - the usual buttons in the Android database devices, it is a pity that there are refused in modern devices. You can adapt to sensors, they are sensitive, but it would be better to see the traditional decision.

The screen, as you understand, is also one of the controls, there are no problems with sensitivity and processing speed.

OS, performance, features

While I was used Ion, the update came out, called 6.1.e.1.20. The Android version 4.0.4 is used, you can read about the OS in our website.

Productivity: Used Qualcomm APQ8060, dual-core processor, 1.5 Hz, Adreno 220 graphics processor, 1 GB of RAM. The device is pretty smart, it concerns and launch applications, and work with them. But here there are strangeness, for example, the backlight goes out with some twitching.

Features:

• In the call settings there is an "Noise Suppression" item, reduced background noise during a call, this function is turned on by default. I tried to use it when the music was played next to the columns, people who called, did not notice a special difference (I tried it with the suppression of noise and turned on). But on the street, if there is a wind, the operation of the function is noticeable

• There is xloud mode, increasing the volume of speakers, I recommend to immediately turn on, becomes noticeably louder
• In the brightness settings, there is no automatic setting, but the light sensor is
• Among the display lock modes there is unlock using the owner's face, the function works quite normally - they say, the battery sits down much faster if you use this method
• To create a screenshot, you must press and hold the inclusion button and decrease the volume.
• A number of applications are customized, for example, this is the player. It is called Walkman, it is possible to configure the equalizer yourself or use presets, there is also a surround sound. But there are no settings as Clearsteo, it is the prerogative of other devices. The sound quality is not bad, but the same iPhone 5 in this plan is headed above, listened using the same headphones, the same tracks - Ion is not so great, the sound is unplant

• Evernote, McAfee Security, Astro, Moxier Pro, Opera Mini and Wisepilot for navigation for navigation are preset. There is an Electronic Arts game loader, you can try before buying. It would be very possible to immediately install the Chrome browser, I like it both in the iOS version, and for Android

• Your widgets - watch, managing wireless interfaces and basic functions, help, Timescape, Walkman and others
• It is curious that for audio, in addition to standard files, OGG support
• When you connect to the TV, a special menu (TV Launcher) appears, but I will tell about it in a separate review
• As in the case of Sony Acro S, the AVI playback features are not written anywhere, but with such films the device copes with a bang that you can see in the screenshots. It's good that the user does not have to put additional on

According to official sources, the device works in UMTS HSPA + 850 networks (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band i); GSM Edge 850, 900, 1800, 1900. Do not count on LTE, it is in version Ion for AT & T.

Wireless interfaces

Like other top smartphones Sony, this unit can have a lot, supported by Bluetooth, version 2.1 with EDR, the Ant + profile for sports wireless gadgets is maintained, the GLONASS, NFC, DLNA is supported. Naturally, there is Wi-Fi. It is a pity that a specific HDMI cable has not added to the kit for a specific "short" connector, where to seek the user, I will not have the mind.

Memory

In the device of 1.3 GB of memory, the user is available to 11.24 GB, you can always expand your capabilities by adding a microSD card (up to 32 GB). It seems to me that Sony may well be inside and more memory, in the end, most smartphones are positioned as multimedia, and if you often take photos and videos, then the built-in memory is very fast at the end. Why not put 32 or 64 GB? This has long been not unprecedented.

Food

The device uses a Battery with a capacity of 1900 mAh, it seems that you can count on a long service life. As I think, among other Androids, Ion and the truth is a long-lived, I talked on the day half an hour, I shot more, listened to music. If you remove the backlight, you can achieve work for one and a half days. But with active use, get ready to search for a socket closer to the evening. All, in general, typically.

Camera

The resolution of the camera is 12.1 mp, can shoot a video in FullHD, as always with Sony, when shooting photos, a lot of necessary and not very effects are a panoramic 3D review, a multi-trap 3D review, a regular panoramic view. You can choose a shooting method, touch the button on the display, only the key, or the combined method, without this setting it was possible to do. To quickly start, your scripts are provided by clicking on the button, you can start the camera, and take a picture, or just run the program. If you wish, you can generally disable the function. All pictures for the material I did using the automatic mode.

Naturally, the sensor resolution remains a key parameter for most consumers. Figures, it seems, should speak for themselves. Marketers are accustomed to crap on innocent heads incomprehensible, but sonorous terms, here are 4 nuclei (!), 12 megapixel (!), 64 GB (!), FullHD and full minced meat. In fact, the main question is why I need it, and whether it is necessary. The camera in Sony Xperia Ion is able to help you capture (and capture a qualitatively) piece of reality. But does such a permission, if many smartphone owners now post pictures in Instagram or Facebook? I do not think. It seemed to me that the postprokery of the pictures was slightly stirring, they quickly persist, but the colors were painfully bright, sometimes unnatural. But the rest Ion was pleasantly surprised, especially detail. Yes, some pictures you can see that the camera flies, there is chromatic aberration, the colors are knocked out, but if you take a sunny day, you will be surprised by looking through the frames on the computer. Let's say I really liked how Ion copes with the shooting of the portrait, you can even disassemble the pores, there are no problems with the colors and detail. In conditions of bad lighting, it makes no sense to dwell on the outbreak area, it can just give the opposite effect, curious to try to take something like it is.

The Sony Xperia Ion smartphone was represented at the beginning of the year, but to our latitudes got only closer to autumn. Initially, the company planned to sell this smartphone exclusively in the United States at AT & T, but then changed his mind and decided to expand the geography of accessibility. The Russian market received a LT28H model, which differs from LT28i in the absence of support for LTE-car. In our country, they are still developing, and Sony Xperia V on the way, so who needs to have support for this type of connection in the phone, it makes sense to wait for a waterproof novelty. Xperia Ion is a slightly different bird. This is one of the two smartphones of the company with 4.55 "screen (second - Xperia T / TX) and the only device in the market that combines such dimensions and a metal case, which makes this phone very interesting. Let's look at it closer.

Video review

Design, Design and Complete

The phone comes in the standard for the last Sony-background box. Inside, you can find the reinforced block of the EP850 charger, high-quality headphones MH750, Cable for charger and synchronization with PCs, as well as a bunch of pieces of information on the rules for using the gadget and warranty obligations. NFC labels in the kit did not show up, alas, and this could be a pleasant addition to this not the cheapest smartphone.

To us, the test apparatus has entered the test, there is also completely black. It looks significantly severe and is felt somewhat different than red, but the latter looks very fresh and will surely have to taste the beautiful half of humanity (although it is very suitable for guys). In the hand, the device is well, although the size and weight, of course, affect. I am glad that the device is monolithic. Perhaps even the most monolithic of all Sony smartphones today. Is that Xperia Acro S can make him worthy competition. Which, however, is not surprising, because both smartphones have a minimum of mobile parts. In Xperia Ion, only the top cover is removed, under which the slots for Microsim and MicroSd are hidden. The cover holds tightly and definitely does not break through for a long time of use. This is not a removable cap from Xperia P (review), which is noted, in theory, and should not. In general, Xperia Ion from the back very reminds of this representative of the NXT line, except that there are no transparent strips.

On the back, you can see a 12-megapixel camera and flash, the Sony Ericsson logo, from which the new devices and accessories have already begun to get rid of the cute dynamics lattice (high enough, not to miss the call). The lid itself is made of metal and is not removed, and the inserts are made of a soft-touch of plastic, which, fortunately, does not close as the Xperia S. on the front side, the main advantage of this device is 4.55 "screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels With natural color reproduction and normal viewing angles. It should be noted that the company then also mentions 4.6 "display, significantly rounding the size in the direction of magnification. But it is more correct to count 4.55 "what we do. Pixelization in the eye does not rush, and the screen itself is quite bright and contrast. Video on it to look at one pleasure. Of course, the black color is not so black like amoled displays, but the colors are more relaxed here. In addition, as the recent comparison of foreign colleagues showed, the Xperia Ion screen is much contrast and brighter than the display of the newest Xperia T smartphone, which, although it can boast a more detailed picture, but it looks much worse. In addition to the screen, on the front side you can see a conversational speaker, the frontal 1,3-MP HD-camera, the approximation sensor, LED and four touch keys are highlighted by separate strips. There is no illumination sensor here, the display brightness is adjusted manually. In White Paper, it is listed, but the benchmark does not see it. I also did not notice that the brightness was adjusted to the level of lighting.

The right end of the device is equipped with a power circuit, buttons to adjust the volume and activation of the camera. The smartphone boasts support for the FastCapture function, allowing you to take pictures from a blocked state, so that a single button can be useful. On the left end lay the plug, hiding the Microusb and MicroHDMI connectors. The plug sits tightly, but a little shakes, but during use, it does not break through a millimeter, so inspires confidence. The Top ION invites us to use the headphones and stick them in a 3.5-mm connector, and the bottom of the device is equipped with a microphone and a mysterious gap leading where -to in the depths of the smartphone and designed apparently for its autopsy in the service center.

By the way, it was not possible to detect the mount for the strap on the housing, so this is one of the few Sony smartphones devoid of such an important detail for someone. Honestly, wearing a huge, heavy, metal bar can be impatient only in one case - if you want to go to the bottom of the river.

In general, the design of the phone leaves very nice impressions, the quality of the assembly is at the height, to find fault with almost nothing. Also, Sony! It seemed that the device was much more convenient to use with his left hand than right. The touch keys are sufficiently comfortable in the work, but you may need addiction.

Software

The Xperia Ion software plan completely repeats Xperia S (Review) and others like that, being its full program clone. The phone was updated on the latest firmware with Android 4.0.4. Accordingly, all the buns available to Xperia S in this update moved to ION. It uses the already familiar branded company shell of the company that cannot boast unreal animation effects as in Sense or the possibility of deep settings as in Touchwiz, but is quite simple and stylish, and most importantly convenient to use. My interface from Sony likes its minimalism and a single style design. If he had sometimes worked a little smoothly and freeze, it would be safe could be called perfect.

The desktop is presented in the form of five screens, there are topics. The menu allows you to configure the list of applications at your discretion. In the settings you can find the chips familiar to the company like XLOUD responsible for increasing the volume of the speaker, and Mobile Bravia Engine, making pictures and video is slightly more pleasant thanks to the color and contrast adjustment. In practice, this is not much noticeable, but with a detailed consideration you can see small differences.

With the output of Android 4.0 firmware, settings of the lock screen and change its background pattern have become available. In the Xperia section, you can see a few more branded chips - PlayStation Certified, meaning that the device supports PlayStation games and the PlayStation Mobile service, which, however, does not work in our country and is not going to think that, however, does not prevent you from makeing it think that You are an American, and use it more or less fully. Information on such manipulations can be found on the Internet, but I am more than confident that the procedure for this setting in very many will select all the desire to use paid porty games from PSONE and some other you can download a lot where and use with some PlayStation emulator accessible in Google Play. This section also has the integration of Facebook in Xperia, which allows you to share different information from the smartphone directly to this social network without using Facebook's branded application. In the input options, you can select the type of keyboard, its mode and cover, and configure the necessary functionality.

From interesting applications, you can select the Walkman player with many settings, advanced equalizer, various visualizations, a selection of music for mood, downloading data on tracks from the network and the ability to edit information about them, the gallery album with the division of all images by date, location map and mapping map and Photo in network accounts tied to telephone. It is also worth noting movies that are a video player with an online mode capable of loading various information about films and rollers.

Radio is quite simple. Well, what it is, and now it has become fashionable from him to refuse. The application can recognize songs using Track IDs, like Facebook compositions.

There is an outbreak application, it works very simply and clearly.

Notes allow you to create small records and memo, and the widget of this application will always remind you of this. Synchronization with Evernote looks like a pleasant addition.

Of course, the aggregator of all social activity is not going anywhere - Timescape, which has already appeared in Xperia X10 and has not changed since that time. The application is a ribbon of events of your social networks, and various desktop widgets will help you track the statuses of friends and their activity in Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare. There are some additional extensions in Google Play.

Messages, contacts and phone shake from Xperia in Xperia. Very convenient applications, pleasant to use.

Alarm clock and clocks can be configured to start when connecting a charger in the Smart Connect Accessories menu. It is quite convenient if you put the device for charging before bedtime. There is a stopwatch and timer.

Track ID has appeared still in Sony Ericsson phones and allows you to identify musical compositions, heard, for example, in a cafe, simply writing a small passage.

Connected devices serve to synchronize the contents of your smartphone with various wireless devices or to play files from your devices on the phone.

Perhaps the main one of all applications is backup and recovery. It appeared in the Android 4.0 firmware and allows you to take all your settings and applications in case of unforeseen situations.

Media Remote is a program for controlling various Sony techniques with your smartphone.

Energy savings Allows you to configure various power parameters acting on a schedule or in binding to NFC-labels, as well as activating by pressing the Special Widget button.

Update Center monitors all updates of the system and applications on the phone.

Smart Connect is used to connect and configure various smart accessories, such as SmartWatch watch. Also, with it, you can set various scenarios of the device's behavior when specific functions are performed.

There are several pre-installed third-party applications. This is Evernote (for notes), Moxier Pro (for mail), Opera mini (for browing), WISEPILOT (for navigation), McAfee (to protect against viruses), Office Suit Pro (to create and edit documents), NERADER (for recognition Barcode), Adobe Reader (To read PDF files), Astro Manager (to view files in the phone memory and on the SD card) and EA Application Store.

The remaining programs are standard for Android.

Camera

The module 12-MP cameras is similar to that in Xperia S. Accordingly, the quality of the photos is comparable. In general, I like the result, although to the Nokia 808 PureView (Review), he, of course, is very far away. Video in Full HD quality also writes well. I liked the very smart work of the viewfinder. Camera standard interface for Sony. Exmor R technology allows you to get good snapshots with poor lighting, but it does not always succeed and not at all lighting. Below you can see examples of the photo in comparison with Xperia P, possessing 8-MP camera.

You should buy a case and film immediately. It's worth it. About the touch buttons, then everything is simple: it is necessary to iron them from bottom to top. And more: if you have traded the backlight of these buttons in the dark, then a sufficiently easy click on the camera button. Excellent apparatus for an acceptable price. Take - you will not regret)))

Year of purchase January 2013. In general, I am disappointed with the quality of Sony - I do not recommend buying this model, without dancing with a tambourine it is not necessary. Compared to seemingly, the model SE K750i, this model should be better in many ways, but it turned out this is not the case, the product was released to the market raw, lush would cut the cabbage! Therefore, if you take, I recommend taking only flagship smarts, where more or less everything works without glitches and other jambs, such as Sony EXP Z1, Z2, Z3, Nokia Lumia, SMNG Galaxy S4, S5, and TD ... So, it took from this review Another 2 years, I mean already in 2017, this is a final feedback on this device. It is clear that now 5 years to use the same device, no one will mostly be, but still, for comparison, the old-new Sony will add feedback. During this time, the phone in the literal sense began to draw. The sensitivity of the microphone has greatly fell, because of which it is bad on the other end, they simply began to fall off the housing buttons along with graphite liners with quite careful wearing, the plastic fastenings for the bolts from the metal cover were cracked, the ring from the camera fell off, well, and about the cap to charging and HDMI Silent ... And the most important thing is that the phone will not correct in the program part, it is 100% even the latest firmware from Cyanogen 5.0.1 did not fix the situation with a random reboot, overheating and hanging, but corrected the camera, now everything is clear, in HDVideo writes without brakes and did third-party developers !! Ie in 5 years, haha \u200b\u200b... (I recommend downloading and flashing anyone who has a video recording, the firmware takes less space and RAM, and will also go some modern applications that are not available on version 4.1.2) Well, the K750i is still all as a tank, shabby, but not killed, everything works, not compare with this ion!

Advantages: + good quality video shooting Full HD + appearance + metallized case + at one time we can and not the best percents put, but in many applications it fully copes today. + Display clear, watch movies, eyes do not get tired

Disadvantages: 1. Powered for the SIM card - it is not clear why it is needed if one in one is one with a standard size SIM card. Oh, it is necessary to cut the standard SIM card to insert on the phone later with this plug, deluso ... 2. Quality photo-bad. If you enlarge the pictures of SE K750i and this phone, it turns out that the quality of the matrix in the "old man" is better !!! 3. How some in the discussion wrote about blurring (mobility) photo- I suddenly appeared after 3 months of purchase, without direct hands you can't do anything ... good, in the latest version 4.1.2 it seems to be corrected. 4. AutoFocus works terribly, slow-moving pictures with it will not make it, it is worth 20 seconds to focus! Again, incomparably with SE K750i. 3. I remember, but in some kind of sewing the video shooting (almost a slide show, it writes), is treated with straight hands 4.r

Bought a phone a year and a half ago. At that time, the phone was ideal at the ratio of price \\ quality. I liked the display, huge and bright, not scratching. For a year and a half, only 2 scratches appeared, and those from falling on the stones. The text is well read even under the bright sun. The battery upset. Constantly you have to turn everything off and include economy mode. Charging full even for a day is missing. Bought for 10,000 rubles. For such money, as they say, sin and complain :) After some time, the phone is tired, glitches begin. The programs themselves are folded, freezed, the phone reboots. It is sad that the cover is intimidated, the battery is not allowed if the phone is hung. Buttons react poorly on touch, you need to get used to it. With his girlfriend Lenovo S 820 bought for 8,000 rubles. So that 2000 points gives more in Antutu than my Sonya for 10,000 rubles. For your money, the phone is not bad, but for the second time I would not buy it exactly

I use the phone for 3 years, I think this is a fairly good term for Android for the first year I could not get ready to buy this model, worked fine, did not lie, a good camera, screen, video ... Integrated memory in 16GB was enough for all the time, recently remembered up to 100% (this is what the phone is about 3,000 photos, 250 audio tracks, many games and so on) Of course, there were significant laugs for 3 years, the phone began to slow down, hang, quickly discharge the battery (using 3G for hours 4 ), the rear speaker has just been terrible, nothing can be heard if you want to watch a video or listen to music, but the headphones sound just great also want to tell about how recently he fell into a staircase span, flew 2 floors and nothing happened to him, also He managed to swim in the toilet, purely accidentally fell out of the back pocket, thought that all the horses were telephone, but literally in an hour he began to work, even something better, stopped so much Light, also there is a factory film, for all this time did not change her overall the phone is happy, but soon I want to replace something new, I think it's time)

So, today our attention will be presented the phone called Sony Xperia Ion. This model has become quite popular among the average user. Players she did not really impress much. But why did it happen? After all, "Sony" always famous for his smartphones. It is the study of this topic that we will go now. In truth, to figure out the question, it will have to make sure the characteristics of Sony Xperia Ion. They are responsible for the main features of the phone. Let's start with you to study the topic as soon as possible.

System

Let's start with you from what many users pay attention first - from the operating system of the phone. To be honest, it is she often forces some potential buyers to abandon this or that model of the smartphone. How are you doing with Sony Xperia Ion?

It is quite positive, but it might be better. The thing is that the Android operating system is installed on this model. It seems to be all right - buyers got used to her and even loved. But the main catch here in the assembly version. This is 4.0.3. At the moment it is considered pretty old. In principle, this is not so critical. After all, you can easily and easily update the operating system using the Internet and a special menu item. Do not want to update yourself? Then yes, for you a little outdated operating system will become a problem.

CPU

Sony Xperia Ion is not only a phone system. This is also a good "iron". And the main role is played here such a thing as a processor. It is he who is responsible for the power of the device. It is believed that what it is better, the model of the phone will become. And how are things going with our smartphone?

Quite good. The Sony Xperia Ion processor contains 2 kernels with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. This is a pretty good indicator for a regular phone. Of course, this model is not suitable as a game smartphone. But for calls and working with the device in the "business" format - quite. So if you are looking for a game smartphone, then it will have to refuse. But otherwise pay attention to it.

In addition, a rather powerful processor allows us to simultaneously run up to 10 applications and work comfortably with them. Sometimes it happens very useful. Especially if you are a man business and you need to constantly work with the phone. Sony Xperia Ion, a review of which is represented by our attention, this is just what is suitable for you best. This option is considered quite a good phone.

RAM

In its composition, a modern smartphone is like a computer. He has a lot of similar components. For example, the part is the RAM. For the functioning of the smartphone, it is quite important. And here it is impossible to do anything. This type of memory is responsible for the performance and speed of the smartphone. It must match the processor.

Ion characteristics in this regard are quite good for the average telephone. After all, the RAM is installed here in 1 GB. Modern innovations tend to offer us from 2 to 4 GB. So, "Experience" is a truly smartphone that will be "without excesses" and will suit more for business purposes than for modern entertainment. So it all depends only on your needs. According to them, you will have to decide how good the model is good or bad. Only here in its characteristics Sony Xperia Ion really worthy of attention. 1 GB of RAM is perfectly combined with a processor with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. And this, in turn, helps ensure the speed of the operating system on the device. Just what is needed to all potential buyers in general. "The braking" smartphone will not like it.

Storage of personal files

Also a fairly important point here is such an item as free space on the smartphone. It is responsible for the amount of allowable data for storage. And any modern buyer, regardless of its purchase purposes (games or work), wants to get a model with a large data indicator. The bigger, the better. And this is a completely normal phenomenon. Especially if we take into account the volume of modern documents and multimedia.

Sony Xperia Ion phones are equipped with 16 GB of memory. Of these, approximately 1.5 goes to the operating system. The result is about 14.5-14 GB. In principle, for many this is enough. Only on this space you will soon begin missing. And in this case will have to look for a way out of the situation. Fortunately, he is.

Memory card

The point is that with a space deficiency in the phone's memory you can install an additional card. It is inserted directly into the device, after which is used without problems. Unfortunately, modern models of phones are sometimes doing without this feature. And this fact is very sad. In addition to expanding free space, the memory card has another plus - it makes data mobile. Changed the phone? Moved the memory card to a new device and use your personal data on. No problem!

And the ION smartphone allows us to take advantage of such an opportunity. This model has a microSD memory card slot. To be honest, this is the most common option. The maximum allowable amount of the card is 64 GB. But it is better not to score completely. Otherwise, failures and malfunctions will begin in the operation of the operating system. Therefore, it is better to limit the filling of approximately 63 GB from the memory card. This will avoid you unnecessary problems. After all, otherwise you can count the phone is just awful. Although in fact it is not at all.

Display

Of course, for modern buyers the size of the phone is important. It is believed that the device is more, the better. Yes, if you want to play in the latest innovations of the gaming industry on this device, then this is true. But only wearing such a smartphone is not very convenient. And hold in your hands - too. In everything should be harmony.

Sony Xperia Ion Reviews Gets very positive for your screen. The diagonal is 4.5 inches, and the resolution is quite high - 1280 at 720 points. To be honest, it should be enough to watch movies in good quality directly on the device. Just what is so necessary to the modern user.

In addition, the smartphone ION transmits us a bright, clear and unforgettable picture. After all, this device can show up to 16 million colors and shades. Do not admire this indicator - for a modern phone is normal.

It is also worth noting that the "experiment" has a sensory that is well protected by a special glass. It makes touchscreen resistant to damage, drops and scratches. Try to use this model, and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Camera

Sony Xperia Ion photo and video are just wonderful. And this feature is quite often paying attention. After all, it is important for a modern person that the smartphone will replace many other gadgets. For example, a camera or a real camera for shooting video. This is especially true of expensive models.

Cameras in this model are two. And you should not be surprised. Now, many phones are equipped with a frontal and rear chamber. And this is normal. The first type serves to make selfie, as well as for video calls and corresponding calls. Onoy quality will not be particularly good. For example, in our case - 1.3 Mp. For the front camera is a good indicator.

Rear camera is the usual device type. It is needed for photographing and video. The quality of the image we receive depends on the qualitative indicators. And, it means that this moment is very important. And then things are very good. This model is equipped with a 12 MP chamber. It also has autofocus and flash - very useful additions that will make your pictures better and clear. If you want to get a pretty inexpensive phone that will be suitable for photographing, then Sony Xperia Ion is an excellent option for you.

Battery

Also quite important item is a phone battery. It's no secret that modern buyers are often tormented from the fact that their phones are quickly discharged. And therefore, you have to look for more versatile smartphones in this regard. Just such is Sony Xperia Ion. The ion-lithium battery allows you to work for a long time with a device without recharging.

Some concrete. For example, in standby mode, this model may lie about 1 month. With regular conversations - 2 weeks. And if you want to play on a smartphone and actively use the Internet, then you can count about 3-4 days of the device without recharging. A decent indicator that can only please.

Communication

Communication support is also included in Sony Xperia Ion. The characteristics of this indicator are good. This phone allows you to use 2G and 3G connections. Just what is so necessary to the modern buyer. True, 4G is not supported here. And it sometimes scares. Do not be afraid - even without this new network, the smartphone will be able to provide a good and reliable connection.

It is also worth noting that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are present here. These two possibilities allow you to provide and send data to a wireless method at high speed. And, it means, with the help of "Experience" you can quickly exchange data. Sometimes it happens very useful.

Equipment

When buying, it is important to know also a complete device. The set of standard delivery includes: headphones for Sony Xperia Ion, instruction manual, warranty card, check, battery and charger.

To be honest, then without these components you can begin to suspect a store on sale fake. It is by installments that many determine how high-quality goods in front of them. True, to get away from the store in full "combat readiness" will additionally have to purchase a phone case and protective film. Sometimes these components may be extremely useful.

What is subject to repair

Unfortunately, despite all the advantages of the model, buyers are often spent at Sony Xperia Ion Repair of some components. It is not necessary to do this. It will be better to attribute the device to a specialized service. There, for a small fee you will eliminate all the problems that have fallen.

What components most often break? For example, touchscreen. Sony Xperia Ion, whose photo is represented by our attention, quite often it ceases to respond to touch. In this case, the screen replacement will help.

Also among the main problems of the model you can select the battery and speakers. Fortunately, the repair will not need if you will very carefully handle the device.

RESULTS

So, we learn what Sony Xperia Ion represents, and also understood which components most often to be repaired. In addition, we also figured out in the ratings about the model. And now it is time to decide - whether this smartphone is suitable for us.

As already mentioned, for the average user, this is a completely decent option at a good price. On average, Sony Xperia Ion will cost approximately 8,000 rubles. And it is very pleased. You do not plan to play in the latest new mobile games? Then it is quite possible to consider the "Iion Experience" as an option. But fans to play better to test another model.
