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.

Initially, Sony has released the Sony Xperia Ion smartphone in the US market for the local cell operator AT & T. In the States, the smartphone as they say went into the masses and the company decided to issue it in other markets, including in Russia.

But it turned out such a story: the smartphone was officially sold in our country only since September, this is a very late period for a similar smartphone. At this time, the market analogs have already been sold on the market, for example, Samsung Galaxy Siii costs 22 thousand. rub., There are excellent smartphones from LG and HTC. The price at the start at Sony Xperia Ion amounted to 24 thousand. rub. And the phone has passed unnoticed, as they say "not flooded"!

For the Sony itself, this smooth account does not mean anything. This is not a flagship for the company, the flagship remains while Sony Xperia S. If so please, Sony Xperia Ion is a "plug" between Sony Xperia S and the expected new flagship Sony Xperia TX.

But nevertheless, there is something to tell and about Sony Xperia Ion .....

Packaging, complete set

Smartphone comes in a flat rectangular packaging. On the package there is an image of a smartphone and a brief technical information. The same packaging for smartphones: Sony Xperia U, Sony Xperia Sola, Sony Xperia P, Sony Xperia S.

Equipment:

2. USB cable.

3. Charger.

4. Warranty card.

5. Various documentation.

6. Adapter for a microSIM card.

Valid battery. As you can see the equipment budget. It is strange that the manufacturer did not put the HDMI wire into the kit.

Appearance, design

In appearance, Sony Xperia Ion looks just fine. For me personally, this is one of the best designs in the smartphone market. Moderate thickness, sharp corners, pleasant weight, monolithic black case All this create a form of an image model. When the screen is turned off, the entire front part of the smartphone becomes a single whole, looks very effectively. The phone is perfect in hand due to the rounded back. In appearance, the smartphone is suitable for both men and women, but the performance in red is more suitable for weak gender.

Smartphone is made of high-quality matte and glossy plastic. The back is almost entirely consisting of a metal with a pleasant texture (imperceptible vertical stripes). Top and bottom consists of inserts of matte plastic. Glossy plastic passes around the perimeter of the screen. Some prints remain on the screen and the back of the smartphone.

The quality of assembly at Sony Xperia Ion is just great, I would even call it reference. It's just a certain one. Everything is made so high quality as it is possible. Naturally there is no backlash, screenshots and other defects. The quality of the assembly is the highest ball.

Functional connectors on the device housing:

1. At the top of the end, exactly in the middle is the connector under the headphones 3.5mm.

2. On the right end, the on / off / unlock / unlock / smartphone lock / blocking. Just below the volume key. At the bottom of the individual key for the camera.

3. At the bottom of the microphone is located.

4. On the left end is the HDMI and USB connector that in turn are covered with a single plug. It is good when the various connectors on the housing are covered with plugs as this is at times reduces the risk of dust entering the connector or damage.

5. On the front of the smartphone is: the approximation sensor, speaker, front camera lens, notification LED indicator. At the bottom of the screen are the touch keys: menu, topics, back, search. The keys are painted white and do not have backlight. The backlight is only in the form of strips under the keys themselves. Controversial decision. Under the keys inscription "Xperia". Automatic brightness adjustment sensor.

6. On the back of the smartphone there is a main camera, a flash, a second speaker, the inscription and the "Xperia" logo.

Functional elements

The smartphone has version of Android 4.0.4. Update to 4.1 by rumors are promised by the end of the year. The main menu is built according to the formula 4x5 for three desktops. The shell from Sony called Timescape is one of the best shells. The shell itself has extensive settings. The menu navigation occurs smoothly and without any delays.

Implemented support for MicroSDXC Memory Card. Card at 64GB. Work perfectly.

As already mentioned above in the smartphone there is a separate button for using the camera. The snapshot can be made from both the locked state and directly when the camera is active. A very convenient feature can always take a picture at the right moment. In the camera settings, you can turn off the shutter sound, which is good when you need to take a snapshot so to speak secret. The sensor that is installed in this smartphone is exactly the same as at Sony Xperia S. 12mp Camera calls to make excellent pictures and even in the evening the pictures are obtained at a good level. I also believe that at the moment it is still one of the best cameras in the smartphone.

Examples of photos:




The camera allows you to shoot video in the trendy format today as FullHD at a frequency of 30k / s. The video is quite high quality on FullHD panels of 42 inches.

Screen. Screen size is 4.55 inches. Multitouch for 10 touches. Screen resolution 1280x720 points. Type TFT. Excellent screen in color reproduction (natural colors), greater sharpness. This screen does not have an air layer between the screen and the protective glass from this image on the screen looks simply amazing, as if alive, I want to touch it. Single pleasure to watch the movie in the HD format. Keep in mind that the screen has already pasted the protective film by the factory method, which will additionally save the screen from scratches. The screen behaves well in the sun information is almost always distinguishable. The only viewing angles are not very big. With a strong deviation of the color on the screen, it is flexible, but it most likely the soldiers rather than some kind of significant disadvantage. There is a large stock in brightness, which is very good.

I will say a few words about touch keys: they have some kind of inhibited response to touch, sometimes you have to press two, three times so that some action occurred. Sometimes this lack is very annoying when you need to quickly do something.

I really liked the sound in the smartphone. The speaker in moderation is loud. There is a "trimmed" equalizer with extensive sound settings. In the smartphone there is a Walkman application, which hints also on the musical component of the smartphone. Excellent complete headphones. In general, lovers of high-quality music will be satisfied. This smartphone is excellent for the role of MP3 player.

In the smartphone there is an HDMI connector, which allows you to output any information on the monitor or TV screen. Very convenient to view captured photos or videos.

In work, testing

The smartphone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 processor and the Adreno 220 video screen. This is certainly not the best "iron" filling taking into account the end of 2012, but nevertheless this bundle allows you to quickly play modern 3D games. N.O.V.A 3, DEAD TRIGGER, etc. Go without problems. When working in a 3D smartphone heats up significantly, but it does not affect his work.

Results in synthetic tests:

There is a full GPS module. There are no problems with navigation so that there is no meaning in detail at this point. With Navitel works.

Wi-Fi. In this smartphone, there are problems with Wi-Fi work. The signal is not very strong possible is the problem of the metal cover and the unsuccessful arrangement of the antenna.

I liked the quality of the transmitted speech. The sound is very clean, without interference and distortion. All thanks to the second microphone that is responsible for suppressing noise.

Implemented the possibility of quick charging. It takes about 45 minutes.

From the box, the smartphone has the support of the following formats: 3GPP, MP4, MATROSKA, AVI, Webm so that it makes no sense to install the player separately.

Also in the smartphone there is a NFC chip. To establish work on this protocol with Samsung Galaxy Siii for some reason I could not ....

Battery life

In the smartphone, an unbalable battery is installed at 1900mach. The results of tests for energy consumption are:

1. Work in the "simply phone" mode is 92 hours.

2. Playing the MP3 file. Headphones, the volume is maximum - 27 hours.

3. Work in a mixed cycle: games, Internet, video, calls, music - 12 hours.

4. Video playback is 6 hours.


Indicators are quite consistent with the declared density of the AKB. That's just playing MP3 file in time seemed small.

conclusions

Smartphone will be almost perfect. The price of it is rapidly falling and if you want a smartphone with an excellent design, quality of manufacture and camera, it is definitely worth looking towards Sony Xperia Ion.

Competitors. At the time of writing, the cost of Sony Xperia Ion is 21.890 rubles. In the price category up to 22 thousand. Rub You can buy: HTC One X, LG P880 4x HD - as you can see decisions on 4 nuclear processors and here Sony Xperia Ion simply loses to competitors. And for 20.350 rubles. We also receive Meizu MX M032 with a filling from Galaxy Siii.

pros

1. Excellent appearance.

2. Excellent build quality.

3. Very good camera.

4. Good sound.

5. Sustainable scratches on the case.

Minuses

Of the minuses in this smartphone, I would only allocate not too responsive touch control buttons.

I repeat: almost the perfect smartphone. And one of those on which I want to change my Galaxy Siii.

As usual, Sony has set a lot of the most diverse software. There is also a notable corporate client of popular social networks Timescape, and the music recognizer Track ID, and the Astro File Manager, and the OfficeSuite office package, and the barcode scanner, and Evernote, even the Walkman's player there was a place.

Well, of course, Sony Xperia Ion boasts an excellent virtual keyboard with all possible ways to enter text. You can choose one of several layout options, and someone will like to enter words, without taking the finger from the keyboard - Swype is surprising correctly, with some skill it can be learned very quickly.

Performance, autonomous work

Sony Xperia Ion is built on the Qualcomm MSM8260 chipset - the Japanese are still beating quad-core processors, so while even the flagship Sony models are limited to two computing nuclei. The hardware platform is completely identical to what could be seen in xperia s, so no Xperia Ion surprises presented.

Results in synthetic tests at the expected average level, everything, as in most other dual-core platforms. The performance of the smartphone is enough for all everyday tasks, but the menu does not go anywhere from time to time. QUADRANT SONY XPERIA ION scored 3183 points, and in Antutu - 8531.

The smartphone has a capacity of only 16 GB, which is twice as smaller than Xperia S. But, unlike the predecessor, Xperia Ion boasts a slot for memory cards, while the previous flagship was content only with the built-in storage. In our opinion, this is a big plus.

The battery is fixed, as you already know, but no difficulties arise in this regard. The battery capacity is quite large - 1900 mAh, but nothing outstanding in it. The same Samsung Galaxy Siii, for example, could boast a 2100 mAh battery.

Nothing extraordinary in terms of battery life Xperia Ion did not show. One battery charging is enough from morning to late evening. At the same time, all the functions of the smartphone can be used in very intense mode. If only to call, write SMS-ki and check mail from time to time (disconnecting Push mode), then you can get one and a half or two days of work. True, if you really intend to use the device in this mode, you should rather look close to something easier. A frozen Android smartphone like Xperia Ion will be completely nothing.

Competitors

SAMSUNG GALAXY S III

The current flagship model of Samsung is currently considered as a competitor to any other top appliance. If you make a comparison directly with Sony Xperia Ion, then it is necessary to admit that the Korean smartphone has a more productive filling and comparable to the quality of the camera, albeit with a smaller resolution of the sensor.

Removable

As usual, Sony has set a lot of the most diverse software. There is also a notable corporate client of popular social networks Timescape, and the music recognizer Track ID, and the Astro File Manager, and the OfficeSuite office package, and the barcode scanner, and Evernote, even the Walkman's player there was a place.

Well, of course, Sony Xperia Ion boasts an excellent virtual keyboard with all possible ways to enter text. You can choose one of several layout options, and someone will like to enter words, without taking the finger from the keyboard - Swype is surprising correctly, with some skill it can be learned very quickly.

Performance, autonomous work

Sony Xperia Ion is built on the Qualcomm MSM8260 chipset - the Japanese are still beating quad-core processors, so while even the flagship Sony models are limited to two computing nuclei. The hardware platform is completely identical to what could be seen in xperia s, so no Xperia Ion surprises presented.

Results in synthetic tests at the expected average level, everything, as in most other dual-core platforms. The performance of the smartphone is enough for all everyday tasks, but the menu does not go anywhere from time to time. QUADRANT SONY XPERIA ION scored 3183 points, and in Antutu - 8531.

The smartphone has a capacity of only 16 GB, which is twice as smaller than Xperia S. But, unlike the predecessor, Xperia Ion boasts a slot for memory cards, while the previous flagship was content only with the built-in storage. In our opinion, this is a big plus.

The battery is fixed, as you already know, but no difficulties arise in this regard. The battery capacity is quite large - 1900 mAh, but nothing outstanding in it. The same Samsung Galaxy Siii, for example, could boast a 2100 mAh battery.

Nothing extraordinary in terms of battery life Xperia Ion did not show. One battery charging is enough from morning to late evening. At the same time, all the functions of the smartphone can be used in very intense mode. If only to call, write SMS-ki and check mail from time to time (disconnecting Push mode), then you can get one and a half or two days of work. True, if you really intend to use the device in this mode, you should rather look close to something easier. A frozen Android smartphone like Xperia Ion will be completely nothing.

Competitors

SAMSUNG GALAXY S III

The current flagship model of Samsung is currently considered as a competitor to any other top appliance. If you make a comparison directly with Sony Xperia Ion, then it is necessary to admit that the Korean smartphone has a more productive filling and comparable to the quality of the camera, albeit with a smaller resolution of the sensor.
