The device will actually come with so many advanced features for example being the first dual-core Xperia phone with the LTE support. Now, let’s have a look at its detailed technical specifications below.
**Display and Dimension**
The [Sony Xperia](http://www.plimbi.com/review/5286/sony-xperia-S "Sony Xperia S - Smartphone Sony Tanpa Ericsson Kamera 12 MP") Ion will come with the amazing HD display of 4.55 inches capacitive touchscreen with 1280x720 pixels, LED-backlit LCD, and 16 million of colors. The display features the scratch-resistant glass and will support for up to 4 fingers multi-touch. This smartphone measures 133 x 68 x 10.8 mm and it weighs about 144 g. With this dimension, this phone is apparently slimmer as compared to the Xperia Arc S model. As usual, this smartphone comes equipped with the Sony mobile BRAVIA engine and also the Timescape UI.
**Performance**
In terms of performance, the dual-core 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon processor and 1 GB of RAM have been added to Sony Xperia Ion to carry out the faster and stable performance. For the main system, it has been pre-installed with the [Android ](http://www.plimbi.com/review/5287/aplikasi-suara "Permudah Operasikan Android dengan Aplikasi Suara Voice Action")OS 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the company stated that this can be upgraded to the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) right after the device is released. The handset will also come along with the 16 GB of internal storage and the standard battery of 1900 mAh.
**Photography and Video**
The line of Sony Ericsson smartphones has been renowned for the great camera feature. This brand new smartphone will come with the 12 MP camera (back) which has the image resolution of 4000x3000 pixels. The camera is also packed with the autofocus, LED flash, go-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, 3D sweep panorama and the image stabilization.
The camera can also be functioned as the camcorder with the quality of 1080p at 30 fps. To gain the great [video](http://www.plimbi.com/review/5668/aplikasi-video-editing "Tiga Aplikasi Video Editing untuk iPhone dan iPad") results, the continuous autofocus, video light and video stabilizer are available for an enhanced video recording. The secondary camera of 1.3 MP is also available for video-calling or conferencing.
**Connectivity**
As mentioned earlier, Sony Xperia Ion will support for 4G-connectivity with the LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, and 100 Mbps DL. The phone works also with the GPRS network (up to 86 kbps), EDGE (up to 237 kbps), HSDPA (up to 21.1 Mbps), and HSUPA (5.8 Mbps). For the wireless connections, the device has integrated with the Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth v2.1 (A2DP+EDR), Near Field Communication (NFC) and also the microUSB v2.0.
**Final Thoughts**
Taken as a whole, [Sony](http://www.plimbi.com/review/5288/sony-walkman-z "Sony Walkman Z - Walkman Canggih dengan Balutan Smartphone") Xperia Ion has been equipped with the latest hardware specifications and also the sophisticated features. The main benefits of this smartphone will be the dual-core processor, 4G network, HD display and also the great 12 MP camera. But will this smartphone be able to continue the success of its predecessor? We’ll find out soon after this device is made available for the market. [IS]
